F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Stretch OYO
  • Merkins x 10 IC
  • SSH x 20 IC
  • LBAC fwd/bkwd x 10 IC
  • Squats x 10 IC
  • Run a lap around the island

THA-THANG:
Grab something heavy and begin a slow mosey.  Weights consisted of Ratchet’s gas cans, several kettlebells, 30, 25, 20 lb dumbbells, and the golden cmu.  We moseyed for about 100-150 yards at a time around the park, stopping for 25 reps of the following exercises.

  • Burpees
  • Nose wipers
  • Squats
  • Gas pumpers
  • Curls
  • Dry Docks

Once we reached the paved hill by the bathrooms.  11’s….sort of.  We started out doing 11’s but then the QIC changed it to just 10 reps at the top and 10 reps at the bottom each time.  Merkins at the top, Squats at the bottom.   Each trip up the hill the PAX carried all the weight and were allowed to leave the lightest weight at the top of the hill.  We were done once we’d worked our way down to just a single 87lb gas can.   Probably 10 or 11 trips up and down the hill with the weight.

Mosey back to the AO with the weight.  Stop along the way for sets of 25 of the following:

  • Dips
  • American Hammers
  • Burpees

MARY:

  • Star Crunch x 10 IC
  • Heel ups x 10 IC

6 PAX braved the Snowpocageddonlypse to get better this morning. Welcome back Unibrau, and congrats on the new job!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Isn’t it “funny” how God often brings opposites together and makes them spouses? Sometimes those differences are just that – differences that are neither bad nor good, and we learn to live and love despite them. Sometimes those differences are things that God uses to highlight something in your heart that needs to change. I have a tendency to snap judgment about people that I don’t know, with very little compassion. That guy pulling a U-turn around the median? What a moron… He should learn to drive. The guy on the news that hit a telephone pole at 100mph? Deserved it. But once I get to know someone, and they have a face and a name, I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt. My wife, on the other hand, lets me know that my snap judgements are unacceptable behavior. She has that compassion for the nameless, faceless person that I lack. But, in contrast, she has the tendency to fear the worst about the motivations of the behavior of people that she knows and loves. So take a look at yourself… If you’re like either of us, ask God to work on your heart, to give you compassion for those you don’t know, and trust and grace for those you do.
MOLESKIN:
I was definitely hoping for a bit more white and less wet, but any day that starts with HIMs like these is a great one.

10 total, including visitor from Nolensville “Mic Drop”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

How do we learn best?
By reading instructions or by watching how it is done by someone that knows the process?
Are we a study God’s word culture or are we a do God’s word culture? By doing rather that studying, we develop a culture that newcomers and the young feed off of. They learn by watching the faithful not by studying.
Lets go be a “Do God’s word” and not just a “study God’s word”

MOLESKIN:

Welcome Mic Drop from Nolensville TN.  He will be “dropping” by once or twice a month.

We went from mist, to rain, to sleet, to snow today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I was recently caught up thinking about my own “problems” when an acquaintance mentioned that he was heading to a doctor’s appointment to find out whether or not his daughter’s cancer was in remission. I was immediately reminded that I have no real problems in my life and should be more diligent about counting my blessings instead of worrying about the little stuff. It was a great reminder to maintain a positive perspective.
