COT:
Chris Mortenson died earlier this week from throat cancer. He was known as a classy and likable NFL journalist. He was entertaining, interesting, and players trusted him. He broke many important stories over the years, Such as the retirement of Peyton manning, and covered 33 NFL drafts. I found an interview that he did and I found his respons
“The one question (s) you should ask is-is there a God? Is Jesus who he said he was? What does that mean for me?”
Nothing about going for greatness. Making the most of life. Reaching for dreams. What it takes to be successful. Nope not that..
Just…”is Jesus who he said that he was?”

THE THANG:
Divide into two teams for Battleship. 5 sets of cones set out facing each other. Run and grab a tennis ball, sprint to your far side, sprint to a battle station and perform the exercise on the cardboard, fire your tennis ball at the other team’s ships. Repeat until one team sinks all of the other team’s ship.
Team 1 wins Round 1. Team 2 wins Round 2.
Teams hold plank while 1 man sprints to collect a tennis ball and comes back. First team to 17 balls is our winner.

Tagged on to Crawlspace’s COT from Wednesday – specifically about having discipline over your thoughts.
Take every thought captive…and make it obedient to Christ… 2 Corinthians 10:5
Philippians 4:8
“…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Let’s work to get really good at realizing when our thoughts are negative and we are daydreaming about guilt, mistakes, slights (real or imagined), and other unhelpful darkness where (whiny voice) “I’m the victim…” Let’s get good at shifting out of that mindset and into virtuous thinking. One of the best ways to shift from negative thinking to positive thinking is by expressing gratitude.
THE THANG: Rucked through Gulf Park to CAK and back down Sherril Blvd over to Dutchtown and back
COT: Lean on your F3 brothers and share the hard stuff with them. Be open with your struggles and be willing to listen and help in return.
Our COT focused on a rough quote I picked up at Winter Jam over the weekend. It was something the band New Song said. Since I don’t have the exact quote, this is the paraphrase.
You don’t realize how much you need Jesus until you realize that Jesus is all that you have. Upon that realization, you learn that he is all that you really ever needed.
