I’m thrilled that F3 is coming to Kingston.  We talked about the value of F3 – “it’s more than a workout”.  Fitness (exercise, nutrition, rest, resisting vices), Fellowship (friendships, mentoring, shield locks), faith, leadership.  The men of Kingston need something like F3 – and (as far as I’ve found) there is nothing else like F3.  Aye!

Me and 8 of the best men I know

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The workout and Word were inspired by something that Erector said when he led two weeks ago.  He repeated a workout from a year or so ago and had to modify toward then end and stack more on us because we were finishing too fast.  He said, “I’m not sure if the group has gotten stronger…or if I was just more efficient with explaining the workout.”  We repeated the Air Force PT test that we did 6 months ago – to measure whether the group is, in fact, getting stronger/faster.

Unless you currently are recovering from an injury, I hope you are getting steadily stronger and faster.  More than that, I hope you are applying the wisdom that you hear in the BOM and seeing positive impacts in your life.  Fitness and wisdom will not happen overnight.  I’m reminded of something Mathlete said a few weeks ago about our progress being like an ascending spiral.  All these different facets of me are getting better as I make steady improvement.

  • …a little stronger…
  • …a little more graceful toward those I disagree with…
  • …a little less selfish…
  • …a little faster…
  • …a little more engaged with my loved ones…
  • …a little more intentional in my fathering…
  • …faith that is not just in the head and heart, but in actions…

None of these happen by accident.  They happen only when you do the hard work of applying yourself toward them.  If even a tenth of what you hear in the BOM is taking root in your life, what a man you will be!

A pair of quotes for you;

  • “Well done is better than well said.” – Benjamin Franklin
  • “Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.” – Dale Carnegie

From Scripture;

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.  …if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.”  James 1:22-25

“What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? …faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.”  James 2:14, 17

“All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.” Proverbs 14:23

Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me.” Philippians 4:9

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

There was a moment when Moses had the nerve to ask God what his name is. God was gracious enough to answer, and the name he gave is recorded in the original Hebrew as YHWH.
Over time we’ve arbitrarily added an “a” and an “e” in there to get YaHWeH, presumably because we have a preference for vowels.
But scholars and Rabi’s have noted that the letters YHWH represent breathing sounds, or aspirated consonants. When pronounced without intervening vowels, it actually sounds like breathing.
YH (inhale): WH (exhale).
So a baby’s first cry, his first breath, speaks the name of God.
A deep sigh calls His name – or a groan or gasp that is too heavy for mere words.
Even an atheist would speak His name, unaware that their very breathe is giving constant acknowledgment to God.
Likewise, a person leaves this earth with their last breath, when God’s name is no longer filing their lungs.
So when I can’t utter anything else, is my cry calling out His name?
Being alive means I speak His name constantly.
So, is it heard the loudest when I’m the quietest?
In sadness, we breathe heavy sighs.
In joy, our lungs feel almost like they will burst.
In fear we hold our breath and have to be told to breathe slowly to help us calm down.
When we’re about to do something hard, we take a deep breath to find our courage.
When i think about it, breathing is giving him praise. Even in the hardest moments!
This is so beautiful and fills me with emotion every time I grasp the thought. God chose to give himself a name that we can’t help but speak every moment we’re alive.
All of us, always, everywhere.
Waking, sleeping, breathing, with the name of God on our lips.
written by – Sandra Thurman Caporale from the Memorial Church of Christ in Houston.
