We rucked Old Faithful, and the COT was about the need/value of F3 and how we should consider giving this gift to our friends by inviting them to join this community. Then a challenge to try the other F’s. If you are here for a workout, then try a 2nd F, if you do a 2nd F, try a 3rd F activity. F3 is more than a workout, just find other opportunities and give them a try.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:

My Father’s Day present this year was a rolling tool box to get organized. Got it together ok but had an extra piece at the end that got left out. I was reminded after some wonderful input from my wife to always read the instructions first! I was also reminded that in all we do don’t forget to include the most important piece…. Love.

“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

COT:
Let’s normalize vulnerable.
I talked about pornography and ways that helped me deny that temptation. It starts with not watching people kissing in movies. You probably wouldn’t watch people make out in public, so why tune in digitally? When confronted with these scenes, fast forward or swipe through them. Consider preventing your mind from chasing the rabbit down that hole. It has worked to help me not look at pornography in over six months.

Matthew 16:24 Paraphrase: Deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow me (Jesus).

Where do you need to deny yourself so that you can follow Jesus?
