BOM:
We were challenged by Mayberry on his last BOM to put ourselves 3rd. God, Friends/Family, and then us. 2 Things we can do to make small steps towards that are: 1. Carve out the first 5 minutes of your day to be with the Sky-Q. Ask God, What is it that you would have me do for you today? 2. Be present in the moment. Be in the conversation and not lost in your own thoughts.

Moleskin:
This was a challenging workout for me to lead. My comfort zone lies in lifting CMU’s! I wanted to lead a workout beyond my capacity. With the support of the PAX we managed to get some pretty good work in and complete on time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the PAX that couldn’t be with us today.

BOM:

With New Years here and everyone making New Years resolutions here is mine: “I am 3rd.”  While there are physical and personal goals I want to meet this year, the biggest and most challenging is to remember “I am 3rd.”  What that means in order is 1. God, 2. Family, friends, F3 Brothers, and strangers, 3. Me.  In our world where it is all about me, me, me, to put others before oneself is a challenge but what a wonderful blessing for the recipients, and prime example of Jesus.  We have been a recipient of Jesus putting God first, others even his enemies second, and himself third.  I can think of no better example to follow than his leadership.

Every time I go to read the Bible with my son, he wants to read his favorite verse.  He just turned 7. His favorite verse is Philipians 4:13 which is perfect for the strength we need to accomplish all our goals, but especially to remember to be 3rd

“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength”

Moleskin: Lots of F3 brothers either fartsacked due to the rain, or the pull-ups.  Prayer request for Amelia whose M will soon have a 2.0, and also for the family in Martin TN  who is suffering through the loss of 2 of their 2.0s in a house fire.

BOM:

Shared my Testimony with the PAX. “No one after lighting a lamp covers it up with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Luke 8:16

Walking in faith can be scary at times, but it is through faith where we will grow and become the HIM’s we were meant to be through the Sky-Q.

Moleskin: We’re still missing the shovel flag, Frosty? We woke up to a beautiful Florida this morning, oddly warm and windy. We finished up right before the downpour. P-Nut was lobbying for a 25 minute show, but we ran over and used every minute. The Bobby Brick Hurley’s were a real crowd please’r and we found the bricks a new home. Nobody walked out with any injuries that they didn’t walk in with, so that’s good. Great day to be a part of this PAX.

Count-Off and Name-O-Rama:

BOM:
P-nut related how our run down Route 66 was an analogy to traveling life’s path. We have distractions along the way, but we need to remember the words of Jesus in Luke 9…and how we must be willing to sacrifice everything in order to truly follow Him.

P-nut then prayed us out- including a prayer request for Pfieffer’s grandfather and relief from holiday stress…especially that stress placed on our wives.

Moleskin:

A group of brave souls with questionable judgment participated in a RUCK/run prior to the beat-down. All PAX were treated to 3 miles and a buffet of burpees, squats and merkins. Spirits were high and the mumblechatter was strong. Great morning at the Pound.

Respectfully submitted,

P-Nut
