Mosey towards the Big Ball and up the stairs towards pedestrian bridge.  Bear crawl across pedestrian bridge, each time a PAX stops to rest results in penalty of 5 prisoner squats at the end of the bridge.  Q took the six and no one was doing squats, so the entire group did 10 prisoner squats on four count in cadence.  Continue mosey to Market Square.  PAX assemble at the stage end of the square in front of the TVA building.

Routine is a variation on the Dirty Mac Deuce.  Four rounds of three exercises, 20 reps each, once a round is completed PAX take a lap around Market Square and move on to next set.  Exercises as follows:

  • Round 1: Derkins, lunges, superman swims
  • Round 2: Incline merkins, jump squats, Edward scissorlegs
  • Round 3: Wide merkins, calf raises, side crunches
  • Round 4: Dips, pistol squats, American hammers

Our mission is simple, “Plant, grow and serve small men’s workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.”  I believe all of us want to be better leaders, and that’s good…but not enough.  Desire with out action changes nothing.  If we want to be better leaders, we need to lead!  In big ways, small ways and every way in between.  That is one of the many things F3 gives us, the opportunity to lead.  The opportunity to grow.  Again, opportunity changes nothing unless it is seized.  The more we practice leading the more confident we are when the opportunity arises.  Today, seize every opportunity to lead presented to you.  That is how HIMs do it!

Typically when putting the kids to bed it is easy to let her do the bed time reading when I know I should share the responsibility.  Recently reading the daily devotional 4128-uncommen-being-better-husbands-and-fathers-daily it mentioned that kids who are read to by dad, according to a study by Harvard University researchers, have better-developed language skills than kids who were read to by mom.   It goes to show that easy way is not always the best way.

Waffle house shared afterwards that reading to his kids (oldest is 16) is still an extremely rewarding experience!

I have been thinking quite a bit about being a good steward of what God has provided.  God owns everything – (Psalm 24:1-2).  The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who are in it.  Accept what you have – (1 Timothy 6:7-8) Basically this verse says you come into the world with nothing and leave with nothing.  Seek first His Kingdom, and submit your requests to Him – (Matthew 6:33) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Guys, realize that we are here to simply manage what is already His.  We need to seek out his kingdom, his righteousness and aim to use what he has blessed us with for His glory rather than our own.
