Word: A Lot Can Happen In 7 Days
Domino (F3 Smokies) shared this pic on Facebook and I thought it was really cool. Check out the pic in this message thread. I encourage you to read through each of these Scripture passages and realize just how much can happen in 7 days. From joy, to “how did we get here?!” to betrayal and death, to the ultimate example of love and sacrifice, to victory and the resurrection, truly, a lot can happen in 7 days.

www.bible.com/bible/116/MAT.21.1-22
– Joy
– Celebration
– Hosanna

www.bible.com/bible/116/MAT.27.27-31
– Pain
– Mocked
– Berated

www.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.19.16-42
– Betrayed
– Handed over to be crucified
– Sacrifice

www.bible.com/bible/116/LUK.24.1-12
– Death to life
– Victory
– “Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” -Jesus

Prayer Requests
– Pray for Ruby (Lilydipper’s mother-in-law) as she just went into hospice. An incredible woman who is closer to being on her way home.

COT:
Don’t Stay Submerged
– Extraction quote: “You drown not by falling into the river, but by staying submerged in it.”
– This reminds me of the ministry of Jesus
   – He loves people better than anyone
   – He would find someone in their current state — love them right where they’re at — but also love them enough to not allow them to stay there. John 5 is a great example of this: www.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.5.NLT
       – He saw this man by this pool and had compassion and understanding for him because he realized he had been there for a long time.
       – Boom – Jesus loved him right there where he found him – but he also loved him enough to not let him stay there
           – I always wondered if that man went back after he was healed. Did he come back to that pool that he was lame at for years and years and share what Jesus did for him with others. Woo……….
What if we did that? With every man in this COT – whether you’ve been here for 1 workout or for 100 workouts. (“Man, I love you and I see you – but I love you enough to not let you stay where you are. Let’s figure this out together. Let’s journey together.”)

– Takeaways –

  – Who can you call on to help pull you back to the surface?

  – Who can you challenge + encourage to not stay submerged?

  – 47 more weeks to go this year
       – Which is exactly 7,896 hours (if Google is correct)

What are you going to do with that time?

Plunging Into the New Year

AO: asylum-daybreak
Q: Lilydipper , High Heels (Henry Ritchie), Charmin (John Willis)
PAX: OnStar, Rainbow, F6, High Heels, Veggie (Rylen Huddy), Crawdad (Robbi Dickens), Matlock (Bill Maddox), Choir Boy, Dung Beetle, Gibbler, Charmin (John Willis), Jumbo(Carter Dickens), Pusher, Pele (Jon Lindberg), Drum Major, lebowski, Tropicana, P3, Scully, Honeydew, Tenderfoot, Lilydipper
FNGs: None
COUNT: 22
WARMUP: Charmin had us doing all kinds of things that unnerved us before even getting to The Thang.
THE THANG: Charmin took us to three different pavilions where we were crushed with his mesmerizing and crushing exercises. We took CMU size boulders to the first pavilion and he made us raise and swing those things around until are arms could no longer take it.
High-Heels took over after the third pavilion of exercises by Charmin. High-Heels took us to the Caribbean parking lot where we ran from 6 o’clock counter clockwise to 9 o’clock stopping at 3, 12 and 9 o’clock to do various exercises. We did this about a million times until we were barely breathing. Lilydipper took us from there back to the 1st Pavilion to grab those doggone boulders that Charmin wore us out with. We had to go to the AO parking lot and team up for Doras. Partners did exercises with the dagnab boulders while the other ran around the parking lot, a heaving and a bursting with air until partners traded places. We weren’t done after we put the boulders back. Lily made us run various sprints (Bernie, High Knees, etc.) until we had stumble to the pavilion for the BOM.
MARY: We were so beat down what we didn’t have the time nor ability to do the Mary.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence at Big Ball on January 20!!
COT: Message: Plunging Into The New Year
Why do we this F3 Thing for another doggone year
1. It is completely stupid
2. It involves community.
3. It is a line of demarcation.
4. It is acceptance of pain.
5. It is release.
6. It is invigoration.
7. It is celebration.
Also, prayers for F6 on vocational search, prayers for those heading back to school or college, and praise for the health of Matlock’s nephew, John.
