CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Hopefully today you’ve been exposed to a new workout. The goal was to get us out of our comfort zone a little.
Think about your daily routine a little. Maybe you come here, eat, run to the office, do some sort of hobby or kid activity, etc.
What if your best laid plans and goals were thrown off for some reason….there are terrible ways that can happen like losing your job or an accident, but there are also positive ways like job opportunities, unexpected callings or kids
The character of a person…and in this case a MAN… is how you react in those situations. I don’t want a show of hands, but if you cringed or had a negative reflection of how you would probably react…then you need to remember that gods in control. You should feel comfort in Him and fall back on your values and trusts that you are in good hands.
Sometimes He like to take us out of our comfort zones and frankly laughs at them. He’s laughed at mine twice over the past year…
Matthew chapter 4
Jesus, God’s son is the trustworthy one
On the heals of fathers day, this hits home to me because those unexpected calls have caused me to hesitate…which to me has seemed like a failure in grasping His plan for me and our family. However, he’s trusting in me to care for his children and I hope that I can be the father and the example that they need

Egg Hunt.

We divided ourselves in 2 teams, we collected as many eggs as we could and we gave the eggs that we collected to the other team as a present :)…then the teams had to run around a loop (800 feet), crack open the eggs and do the exercise prescribed by the egg :). Team number 2 did a great job finishing all of the eggs in less than 10 mins…great work gents!!!

Prey-Predator Game.

Two Stop signs. Three predators and many preys. The objective was to carry as many eggs as possible from one stop sign to the other douching for the predators. If you get caught by a predator, you do 10 burpees, you become a predator and the predator becomes a prey. It was a really fun game, but there was not much time to do many rounds :'(.

WARM-O-RAMA:
Side Straddle hops, Mountain Climbers, Reach for the stars, let it hang, Cherry Pickers, some other stuff.  Booster mentioned doing stargazers, so we headed to the top of Juco to try it out.  Campus is too bright.

Then we got 3.5 seconds of stargazers before we did some Hello Dolly.  Too many clouds to see stars anyway.

Stone Jenga was played.  We held Al Gore while building a pile of rocks.  We got to 7 rocks before it fell so 10-7=3… 3 burpees.  Well done.  Mosey back to return our rocks, do more dips, bear crawl across the street and back, 10 Dirkens, Duck walk to curb and 20 calf raises.

Psalm 18:  I love you, Oh Lord, My Strength

Looked at making sure the Lord is our strength, our deliverer and our Rock.   David, leading the victorious army didn’t find his strength in his self but from the Lord.  Make sure Jesus is the foundation of your strength.

Be praying for our F3 brothers we miss due to injury.  Especially Survivor, Spotter, 5k, Gump and others.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
May the 4th is tomorrow.  When watching the Original Trilogy, you think the story is about Luke, but after watching the Prequel Trilogy, you realize that the story is about Anakin.  A story of redemption.

Also, God laid on my heart this week to be aware of the legacy I’m leaving.  I shared the tale of Steve Jobs.  He built a huge company that changed the world, but within months of his death, Apple launched a product he said they’d never sell:  the iPad Mini.

Our legacy is much more affected by the people we influence throughout our lives.  Our children, wives, friends, coworkers, and others.  The values we invest in them and the fruit of the Spirit we bear around them will make a bigger impact than the work of our hands.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
CSAUP this Friday!  Family workout postponed to May 14th.
