CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
While traveling yesterday I heard a man say on The Message radio station “We look for God in the destination but He is often found in the detour.” Many of us have had detours this year that have affected us physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially, at work, at home etc and we don’t understand why things aren’t going the way we planned and wonder where God is.

We are looking to Him and for Him in the end and are not looking to understand His meaning and plan for us in the midst of our detour. So if you are like Daniel in the Lion’s Den, Moses by the Burning Bush or even like Jonah in the belly of the whale. Seek God and look for Him and know that He is with you and He has a plan for you that might not be what you expected and your circumstances don’t make sense but know that you are right where He wants you. He is with you and will lead you out.  It’s just a detour.

Gracious to be a part of F3 and specifically the Dog Pound PAX. As AO Q I’d like to accomplish 2 things with you 1. Create a culture of Qing. It’s the foundation of F3 and gives us a place to practice our leadership. It also gives us the opportunity to say thank you and give back to all the Q’s we’ve attended. 2. Let’s find a way to install some pull up bars!! Looking forward on working on this with you all.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Following Christ requires action from us according to new standards, developing new habits, and a conscious change of our thinking. Christian maturity is not shown through our beliefs or declarations, but through our behavior and personality. Results are the products of our actions! To grow spiritually, we need to change our priorities and thinking. To be more like Christ, you need to think according to His standards.
MOLESKIN:
It is so good to see members of the pax getting better physically. Seeing where they have improved and become faster, stronger and have more stamina.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayers for Lady Junk and the Junk family.

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • 20 x Imperial Walker IC
  • 15 x Tempo Merkin IC
  • 20 x American Hammer (4ct.) IC
  • 20 x Overhead Clamp IC (except I-Beam, who was deliberately out of cadence)

THA-THANG:
PAX counted off 1-4 and split into groups of 4 people each. One PAX from each group was designated “injured” and had to be carried by the remaining three. PAX rotate as needed while we headed for the Pav-A-Lon. We paused for 20 Iron Mikes (4 ct. OYO) while some of the folks rested their shoulders.

Once at the Pav-A-Lon, each PAX drew two cards from the card. The number designated the rep count and the suit designated the exercise as follows:

  • Hearts = Pull-ups
  • Clubs = Burpees
  • Spades = Dips
  • Diamonds = Diamond Merkins

Face cards = 10 and Aces = 11.

Between rounds PAX moseyed to the top of the hill and bear crawled back down.

We broke back into groups and carried our injured teammates back to the AO.

MARY:
We cashed out with two rounds of ATMs!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Two FNGs today – good work guys!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared a story with the PAX of a college senior that was seeking guidance because she was stressed about decisions others were making for her. We talked about the importance of remembering that we are grown-ups that are not only capable of, but responsible for, our own decisions. It’s easy to get complacent and let others lead, but there comes a time when you need to step up and do your own thing.
MOLESKIN:
TAP to the Junk clan – we missed you out there today, brother!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
What’s does a name say about you? We make a big deal at F3 about getting a name. To me it’s a lot like being born again and given a new name. Just like Isaiah 43:1-3 when God called Jacob by name and the nation of Israel became more than he ever thought he (Jacob) could be. Getting an F3 name has changed my life by changing my perception of who I was into who I can be because of the 3 F’s we embrace and share with each other. Also addressing others by their name means you are in relationship with them and you recognize them. There are a lot of Sad Clowns we encounter everyday just waiting for someone to “see them” and say their name instead of just passing by. So today be aware of your name, what God has called you to be, what your F3 name means you are capable of becoming and someone else’s name that is waiting to be recognized! Call them by name just as God has called you by name and change their lives forever.

MOLESKIN:
Continue to pray for Lady Junk! Also pray for Joy (Lady Frosty) for her upcoming travels.
