CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
F3 is not a religious org. Instead we are challenged to answer 2 questions. What do you believe happens when you die? And how does your answer to the first question affect how you live today. It’s up to the guy in the center of the circle to share his thoughts and the others to listen with an open mind, but also to be prepared to share alternative vantage points when it’s their turn in the center, creating healthy and constructive dialogue.

I shared my answers to the questions,  but more want to encourage you to reflect on the questions.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

  • Dale Carnegie

Specializing in self-improvement and interpersonal skills, American writer and lecturer Dale Carnegie talked often about the power of action. It’s easy to let our small doubts and anxieties balloon into overwhelming fears — because we allow them too much time and space to grow rather than taking action to face them. “If you want to conquer fear,” Carnegie urged, “do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

The Bible also talks about fear.

“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Don’t let fear hinder you from being the man God has called you to be. Pray and take action.

MOLESKIN:

Agility Cone Roulette

THE SCENE: A nice cool morning. Low 60s
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
20 SSH, 20 Merkins, 20 Squats, some little warmup stuff on the run to Crumpet

THA-THANG:
At crumpet, we did a set of 8s. Burpees at the bottom, Big Boys at the top. For my 8th wedding anniversary!

Back at the little field next to the pavilion, we had a bunch of agility cones set up. One person would call out an exercise for everyone to do while they ran the cones. They come back and slap the walking path. Everyone runs to the last cone and back. The next person calls out a new exercise and the process repeats.

MARY:
Lot’s of folks called for ab exercises during the beatdown, so we just went to time.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Taking Relationships for “Granted” vs. “Cherishing” our Relationships.

In our relationships, we take a lot of things for “granted”. Meaning, we assume, intentionally or unintentionally, that something is just due to us or it has to be because it’s our right or something. Relationships cannot be taken for granted. We are not owed a given relationship. We have to work on them and for them.

Instead, we ought to “cherish” our relationships. A good definition of cherish is to “care for” and “protect” someone lovingly. Cherishing starts with giving a rip. You have to care for someone in order to cherish, so you have to care. Ask what is going on with them and listen. Figure out what is important and meaningful for that person. Then we have to protect. Often we do the opposite and are the greatest accusers of the people closest to us. And I’m the worst example of this, finding fault in whatever is rubbing me the wrong way in a given moment. Instead, I need to put the other first and desire to protect them.
