The goal here was to do an inverse ladder with exercises using a CMU and then going up the hill to do some pull-ups. Below the exercises:

  • At the top of the hill we will start with 10 pull-ups and decrease by 1 each time.
  • At the bottom we will perform the following exercises with a CMU: bicep curls, triceps and over-head press. We started at 20 and decrease by 2 each time.

We were not able to complete the whole ladder due to timing restrictions :).

We let the dice decide the number of repetitions of each exercise. We did some push-ups and some burpees.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

It’s been right at one year since I led my first F3 Q. Over that time, several things have changed in my life. I’m now a father of 3. I’ve changed jobs. Despite the changes in my personal and home life, F3 has been a constant steady source of encouragement, wisdom and physical strengthening.

I’ve participated in a convergence at JUCO, a CSAUP at The Asylum, Brolympics, and a memorial Q for Cardinal. Every one of these events was a ton of fun, but there’s something deeper just below the surface if you take a minute to pause, look for, and appreciate it.

Each of you here has that thing within you and I know it because you are here this morning. You set an alarm, you got up and drove here when most people are still in bed. You were intentional.

Intentionality is one of the things F3 has given me over the last year. I’m by no means perfect but I’m better than I was before.

My challenge to you this morning is to pick one part of your life and be more intentional in pouring into it the rest of the week. It could be your marriage, a friendship, your children or maybe even a hobby for yourself. Whatever it is, be intentional because that’s how change is made and that’s how we get better.

MOLESKIN:
Insert any personal comments, notes, devotion content, etc.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

3/18 – Painting for Cardinal’s widow

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

This was taken from a devotional by J.D. Greear called “A Better Way to Do Christian Work”

Christians often think that if they want to serve God in the workplace, they have to take a more obvious step like opening up a coffee shop called Jehovah Java.

Really, though, your faith in Jesus will be much more effective in displaying a set of attitudes that are shaped by the gospel, including:

Integrity: When others can get away with pilfering or deceit, you don’t, because God sees. You are working and stewarding for a greater Boss and an eternal reward.

Excellence: You’re not just doing the minimum required to get by; you are trying to bless your employers and coworkers.

Servanthood: You see your work as an act of service toward other people, an attitude shaped by the belief that God created the world in an imperfect state and put men and women here as his co-creators, to develop the raw materials of the world for his glory and the benefit of fellow humans.

Hope: As a believer, your work doesn’t define you, which allows you to not take it too seriously or cheat to get ahead. You’ve found your identity as part of God’s family and not in your work. A believer is defined by his position with God, not his position on a flow chart.

The summary is the better way to “make the teaching about God our Savior attractive” (Titus 2:10 NIV) is by working with integrity, excellence, service, and hope.
