FISH ON! As we grow, its about getting more FNGs out to join F3. That does not mean your all over the sadclown with lots of pessure to join us. Sometimes, its just throwing the line out from time to time, let the sadclown swim around the bait for a while. Eventually a sadclown gets hungry and takes the bait! Once hooked, reel them in and keep them!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We exchanged gifts with my in-laws on Christmas Eve night.  They headed home, and then the next morning we found the gift cards that we’d given them sitting on the side table where they had left them.  It made me think about the fact that just being offered a gift isn’t everything. You have to reach out and take it, a conscious act of receiving.  Some of God’s gifts we just get (and often take for granted), no acknowledgement or recognition required.  A sunrise, our next breath, a baby’s laugh… But His greatest gift requires an act of receiving or it just sits there like my in-laws’ gift cards. Theirs for the taking, yet unused.  Be sure you’re not leaving God’s greatest gift for you sitting on the table.
MOLESKIN:
That circuit took much longer than I expected… I was thinking we’d run through it twice, then maybe I’d need to fill the time with some 7’s or something… Not so! Made it about 97% through once before we ran out of time.

Gonna be feeling a tingle in the fingertips all morning from the freezing pee rocks!

Great to be out this morning with my F3 brothers working off some of that goo!  Coffeeteria was a good unwind as well.

Joy of Restoration
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬
http://bible.com/59/gen.1.1.esv

Then sin happened and now everything here is different from what it was originally intended to be.

Christmas marks the beginning of the restoration.

“The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭35:1-2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

F3 Christmas Tree

Start with the base of the tree, Route 66.

Along the Greenway at the front of the Asylum.  At the first light pole perform a Candlestick Burpee (at the end of the burpee, jump up like a candle, with hands straight up hands clapped above your head).  Add 1 rep at each successive light pole until you get to 11 reps.  When finished, run back to the beginning and plank until the 6 arrives.

Mosey to the rock pile behind the Asylum.  Grab a rock and perform the following exercises.  In between each round, run down to the tree and back:

  • Round 1 (x15 reps of each): Narrow Squats, Bent Over Rows, Forward Lunges, Overhead Press, Jump Squats.
  • Round 2 (x20 reps of each): Narrow Squats, Bent Over Rows, Forward Lunges, Overhead Press

  • The Star: 40 Merkins.

Mosey to the front of the Asylum, stop at the orange cones.

 

Elf Runs
In order for the big guy to have a successful night, the elves have to be ready to move fast and do some work.  Elf runs are one of their key off-season training tools.

Set up like suicide runs with a baseline and 5 cones in a row.  Run to the furthest cone and back, do 10 merkins. Then run to the second furthest cone and back do another 10 merkins. Rinse and repeat for each of the cones.

Mosey to hill on the right side of the Asylum.

 

The Grinch’s Legs
We all want the strength the Grinch gets when he saves Cindi on the sleigh right?  Perform the following, then run to the top of the hill and touch the curb

  • Jump Squats x10
  • Side Lunges x 10 each side
  • Reverse Lunges x10 each leg

Rinse and repeat.

Mosey to the SP

Deuteronomy 30:19 – “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live“

This morning got up and enjoyed the crisp air with great men under a beautiful sunrise because we have a Creator who loves us and loves show us that love through his creation.  Every day we have the opportunity to enjoy those gifts, but we must make the choice to embrace them.  Seize every moment you can to pour life, love, grace and truth into those around you.
