  • SSH x 30
  • 5 Merkins IC
  • This/That stretch
  • Cherry Picker

THA-THANG:

Halloween special.  PAX got to choose either a Trick or a Treat at each location.   Exercise performed depended on what the PAX chose.  I have to give credit where it’s due, the whole “Trick or Treat” thing was fun but it wasn’t an original idea.  I borrowed it from P-Nut, who did this for last year’s Halloween workout!  Good ideas are worth repeating, thanks P-Nut!

    • Frankenstein lunges to the speed bump & back
    • Creepy Crawlers to speed bump & back
    • Trick or Treat #1:  Shock & Awe Thruster Merkins (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
  2. Mosey to steep hill by the boats
    • Trick or Treat #2:  7’s on the Hill.   Burpees at the top / Squat Jumps at bottom
  3. Mosey to Matterhorn
    • Trick or Treat #3:  Suicides up the hill
      • Round 1:  Broad jump up & bear crawl down
      • Round 2:  Bernie Sanders up & bear crawl down

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
BOM was more of a public service announcement:  today is Halloween which means kids will be Trick or Treating tonight.  Please be safe and drive slow as it gets dark this evening.  Watch out for little kids walking around neighborhoods and remember to check your kids’ candy before giving it to them.

MOLESKIN:
Great to see Tank back in action after several weeks on the sideline.   Welcome back brother!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  1. Saturday’s 2 year F3 Knoxville anniversary has been moved to First Baptist Concord gym due to weather.  This will mean less opportunity to cook-out so remember to bring a dish.   Also, remember to vote for the F3 awards – Tank will be posting something on GroupMe for those who haven’t voted.
  2. Saturday will be a Convergence workout at the Asylum at 7:00 to celebrate the 2 year anniversary of F3 in Knoxville.   Cap’n Crunch and Ratchet will be leading so bring your heart rate monitors!  On 2nd thought, you may just want to leave the HR monitors at home….with those two on Q you’ll probably be scared of the numbers you see.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
7 HIMs strong at the Asylum this fine Tuesday morning!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I want to talk a little bit about the grace of God. When I think of the grace of God, I think of my sins being forgiven. I think of Jesus on the cross. I think of his his life given for you and for me. I think of forgiveness. Unmerited favor.

And yes, my sins have been washed away, BUT my sin nature is still hanging on. Whether it’s lust, or pride, or greed, that nature is hanging on.

I must remember, I am FORGIVEN by his grace, AND by his grace I am given DIVINE STRENGTH to live in a way that pleases God. God’s grace is the power to obey. The power to change. The power to leave those sins behind and live a life of obedience to the glory of God.

It is no accident that all within the same chapter of James we read:

  • You do not have, because you do not ask
  • He gives more grace.
  • “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
  • Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
  • What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
