CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Spoke about being purposeful and intentional with our time.  Told a story about my daughter throwing a lacrosse ball against the house.  I went out to tell her to stop and a bit later realized the reason she was throwing the ball against the house is because she was playing by herself.  I grabbed a stick and went out to throw with her, but it reminded me of how often I miss the small opportunities to spend time with people I love because I’m distracted.  Put it down.  Walk away.  Spend the time.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Conventional wisdom(and Gibbler) would tell you the way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.  However, the best route might just be to do it with the help of others.  In general we should leave the elephants alone but when we face issues or problems we need to lean on those around us for support.  Likewise look for those around you that may need some help and offer your support.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Q celebrating birthday and wanted to reviewed Ezekiel 22:30. The context is the Sins of Israel, but the verse mentions the Lord “searching for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap…”. The text is directed at the Wrath of God, however the words struck me with vision 180 degrees as to what we should be in this life. F3 has been an example for me of good men who are brothers and lock shields to stand in the gap to keep evil at bay and look to God to guide our thoughts, our words, our steps and our hands to further His Will.

Bumps and blocks

THE SCENE: Clear skies, 37 degrees, perfect for a beat down
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER : 

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, high knees and butt kickers.  Did some plank poses, downward dog and 10 tempo Merkins.  Then did some Tie Fighters and was ready to roll out of the AO, but then the originator of the Tie Fighter lived up to his name and exited the scene for a few minutes.  Out of deference to Code Brown, we hung around awhile and did some Rocky Balboas, Super Marios and bear crawl 360 at the AO. Then we headed out.
THA-THANG:

  • Bump your partner – Partner up with one CMU.  Make your way up the tail of the dragon to the Coliseum.  One partner goes ahead with the block and the other does 5 burpees or 10 merkins then runs to catch partner, take the CMU and go ahead while the other partner does 5 burpees or 10 merkins and so on until you both reach the Coliseum.
  • One partner does AMRAP CMU exercises while the other partner completes a lap around the oval in front of the Admin building. Thrusters, Wood Choppers, Block Swings, Up and Over Merkins, Lying Lat Raise, Alternating Lunges, Curl/Press.  There were others planned but we ran out of time.
  • Bump your partner back to the AO.

Jesus didn’t wait for us to do this or do that before he sacrificed himself for us.  Let’s not wait for others to do this or do that before we reach out to them, forgive, help out, serve. Take the initiative.  While we were yet sinners, He died for us.
MOLESKIN:
That was a pretty exhausting workout.  Shoutout to @Woodshack for teaching me the cmu bump a few years ago.  A great way to move a cmu!
