ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬
bible.com/bible/59/1th.5.11.ESV

So I was reading though the Bible app, and in the New Testament plan I’ve gone through in April, one of the last few days had an encouragement at the end of it with the work Build. That made me think about the common saying that in every interaction, you are with building up or tearing down the relationship. I think parallel to this is the distinction between an abundance mindset vs a scarcity mindset. Abundance is understanding that we have all we need and living a life of gratefulness. Scarcity is based in fear, but it is manifested in thinking we don’t have enough, aren’t enough, those around us are harming us.. it’s a very self centered and dark mindset. Even through the trials we all have from time to time, we are living in abundance, and refocusing our hearts to understanding that can reshape how we interact with those around us daily. When we recognize our own abundance, I think its more natural to build up those around us.
Consider your abundance, and build up someone today.

Thank you for working out wholeheartedly. Whole heart is our goal. It’s what we admire. consider your heroes. One: have heroes. They motivate us. Two: they gave their all and the best example of this is Jesus who gave even his life to have a relationship with you. Jeremiah 29:13 says: you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
My challenge to you today is to give your whole heart and what the Lord has for you to do.

GPS Art F3 Juco take 1

THE SCENE: 70° and comfortable
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Get ups, tai chi warriors, Reach for the stars, Let it hang, Butt kicks, SSH, High Knees, Mountain climbers
THA-THANG:
A campus tour spelling “F3 Juco” as GPS ‘art’. At each turn there were excercises.
Starting with 10 SSH, then introducing some new excercises
Flip flop merkins, Shuttle run the lower bar of F
Bernie up to the top of the F twice, then 10 Gorilla Humpers (wide monkey)
Finish the F with a shuttle run to flutter till the 6 arrives.
Straight to the Railings for 20 underdogs
Draw the “3” with Hello Dolly, kick throughs and monkey humpers along the way.
Then to the top of the J to carry some of each others weight on a pole.
One legged SSH and “James Bond” made the U, the C was hand stand merkins (or burpees) and dips.
We finished the O with a rope run around a tree.

MARY:
LBC is about all we had time for
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

I want to focus on the word endurance. On a Wed, we have runners who know about endurance. I used to think of Endurance as just working hard and harder. But it is a lot more about pace than it is any one hard step.
Ask yourself, are you making forward progress?
Do you have a plan? Do you know where you are going?
Have you removed the sin in your life that weighs you down?

Your race is your race. Your journey to become more like Jesus is not identical to anyone else, but it is not meant to be done alone.
Get into a community of believers, find a Church home, F3 is great, but it is not a church.
A church needs all ages, men and women, worship, communion, baptism, giving, accountability and all the pains and joys that come along with all that.
Then make sure Jesus is your motivation, source of energy and Goal.
And consider your pace. Yes, take breaks but ensure forward progress. Guys who get up before 5 to work out tend to want to push hard, but don’t burn out.
And God gave us the gift of (warning, unpopular word) the Sabbath. It got abused in Jesus’ time, it gets forgotten entirely now, but Sabbath was made for man.
That weekly day of rest, change of pace and focus on worship and serving will allow you to Run the race.
Maybe you step back from formal serving for a season, but you still run the race – stay involved, make others a priority, show up, care , pray
Endure to the end.

The Impossible Mile

See picture above
THE SCENE: 80 degrees at 0530 with humidity around 96%, some would call it terrible
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
3 very slow cherry pickers
SSH to around 15
THA-THANG:
The workout was simple, but due to the Ghostflag, we had two well represented groups from Juco & F3 Smokies vying to take it home.  We chose to host a competition, and the first group with 3 to finish the workout below took home the flag.
The workout was as follows:
The Impossible Mile
400 M Run
100 Merkins
400 M Run
100 Squats
400 M Run
100 BURPEES
400 M Run

Following that sweat fest, we moved over to the Jesus statue and found a battle buddy.  One partner held a wall squat while the other partner did 50 dips.  After both partners completed the exercises, we switched one partner held a balls to the wall while the other partner did 50 step ups.  Once both partners completed both exercises, we moseyed back to the flag for a Mary.

MARY:
The Mary was very popular today.
10 snow angels in cadence followed by 10 merkins
20 Flutters in cadence followed by 10 merkins
13 Shoulder taps in cadence followed by 10 merkins
finally 7 more burpees
