One of the most amazing games of Ultimate Frisburpee took place as the good guys (my team) made a miraculous come from behind 20 point score to end the game. It was really not even close how great we played. There were a lot of burpees, great work after scores and huffing, puffing and hands on the knees to go around.
On the way back to the flag carrying our weight a Jailbreak was called and made it the best start to the day!

MARY: unfortunately not enough time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Escape! Still sign up

COT: Mark 9:14-24

This is the healing of a young boy with a mute spirit. I just now realized this directly after the transfiguration on the mount.
Jesus is approached by the father of the child who says the boy has been like this since early childhood and
“But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23 Jesus said to him, “If[d] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Q also shared the life of Takeshi Nagai who lived through the atomic bomb in Nagasaki and his journey through faith.

When you struggle with belief, when you feel sound in your beliefs, remember that He is the light and guidepost to keep you strong.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Escape from Haw Ridge

COT:
St. Patrick was a British saint who was enslaved by the Irish at a young age. God gave him a vision one day of how and when to escape so he did fleeing back to Britain and devoting his life to the Lord.

You might ask why St. Patrick is revered in Irish folklore, well he got another vision to go back to Ireland and evangelize the Pagans that lived there. He is considered the reason Christianity was brought to Ireland in the first place.

What stands out to me about St. Patrick was his willingness to obey the calling God placed on his life.

While we’re not all called to convert thousands by preaching the gospel, God has a calling for each one of us. Maybe our calling is to be a good dad, husband, brother, son, etc. or maybe God is calling you to get outside of your comfort zone. Maybe you’re living your calling or maybe we need to make some sort of adjustment to be in better alignment with His calling. One thing is clear, we’ve each been given today as a gift.

Let’s all take one step further down the path of obedience today, just like St. Patrick did with his captors. He loved others and loved God so much that he was willing to go back to those who imprisoned him to save them. Let’s choose obedience this day.

COT:
Matthew 22:36-40 NKJV
[36] “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” [37] Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ [40] On these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets.”

God has commanded us to love one another. Including those we may be uncomfortable around. That are broken down to their lowest point. That we have no connection with. The challenge is to see others through the ense of Christ and love in a way that glorifies God and not ourselves.

Dutch Royal- Team Biohack vs Team Mathlete

AO: the-project
Q: Flying Dutchman

FNGs: 1 None
COUNT: 11
WARMUP:
LBC’s forward and reverse, arm stretches, SSH, tempo squats, Willie Mays Hays, Cherry picker
THE THANG:
Mosey to back of library, Biohack and Mathlete picked teams. We had 2 decks of F3 exercise cards, and a paper to track points. Team with most exercises (points) wins. There were three stages. Stage 1, 4 different places around the Project had to be visited with an excercise to be completed before returning. Stage 2, each member of the teams flips cards and does that excercise until the team flips 30 cards total. Stage 3, each member of the team continues to flip cards and go that excercise, but now adding running up stairs and the doing 2 burpees in between each one. Team Biohack did 82 different excercises and Team Mathlete did 80. To be fair, Team Mathlete had one less person.

COT:
We discussed how we continue to encourage, train up and support each other at F3. The Q today demonstrated that as we worked as individuals, but also teams. II Timothy 1:5. I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and I am persuaded, now lives in you also. Timothy was trained up by his family first, and the Paul. Lets us continue to train up and support our kids, family, friends, colleagues and anyone we come into contact with.
