Matthew 6:19-21 – What do you treasure? 

From the devotions of Thomas à Kempis in “The Imitation of Christ” 

This is the greatest wisdom – to seek the kingdom of heaven through contempt of the world. It is vanity, therefore, to seek and trust in riches that perish. It is vanity also to court honor and to be puffed up with pride…It is vanity to wish for long life and to care little about a well-spent life. … It is vanity to love what passes quickly and not to look ahead where eternal joy abides.

Leading Ultimate Frisburpee

THE SCENE: April showers bring May flowers… and sweat. But what do Mayflowers bring?
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER – Not a Professional
WARM-O-RAMA:
The first exercise is… Mosey to the track. Partner up as we’re heading there. Extra person find a group with two good runners because today will include a lot of running in it.

Warmup in the End Zone aka “the 0-Yard” per Anchorman.
1. Lunges with a twist across
2. Finger walk – to walk (aka Inch Worm)
3. Over over under under (switch halfway)
4. High knees
5. Butt kickers
6. Side lunges with a skip (switch halfway)
7. Tennessee Rocking Chair

Final warmup lap around the track to the opposite end zone. Today we are going to be playing / doing a variant of a routine on the F3 Exicon known as “ultimate frisburpee”

THA-THANG:
We need to do a throwing warmup so everyone has a chance to get touches on the disc.

First we’ll be doing a game of hot potato – toss the disc to a fellow pax while everyone in the circle does squats. When the timer is up the person left with the disc (or who last was supposed to catch it) calls an exercise not named SSH or a SSH variant. Then we’ll do 15 reps of that exercise. Every time the disc is dropped or not caught, the PAX will do a decreasing number of burpees starting from 5, then 4, 3…

Find your partner and pick even or odd (group of 3 just figure this out).

Field size based on # of PAX (odd number rounding down to give a PAX “rest” as he will be doing alternating flutter kicks and pickle pointers in sets of 10 each with a 10 count rest after each set of two exercises)
4 (2v2) – A single 5 yard x 5 yard square for the goal aka Hot Box
6 (3v3) – A single 5 yard x 5 yard square for the goal aka Hot Box
8 (4v4) – 5 yard deep end zones, 40 yard long x 30 yard wide field
10 (5v5) – 10 yard deep end zones, 50 yard long x 30 yard wide field
12 (6v6) – 15 yard deep end zones, 60 yard long x 35 yard wide field
14 (7v7) – 20 yard deep end zones, 70 yard long x 40 yard wide field

The routine is simple: Similar to ultimate frisbee but with penalty burpees. On the 1st turnover, 5 burpees for all PAX. On the 2nd turnover, 4 burpees. On the 3rd, 3 burpees. On the 4th turnover, 2 burpess. On the 5th turnover, 1 burpee. If neither team has scored, the remainder of the point is played like regular ultimate frisbee. Burpee count resets after every point. You do not have to wait for all PAX to finish burpees to begin playing (i.e., it is advantageous to finish your burpees faster). Usually played for about 20 minutes. A PAX favorite in F3 Hampton Roads.

Our variant will be waiting for PAX to finish burpees (to give us a break and let everyone not run into each other since it was light-ish at first but eventually was fine to play). Also, after every point every PAX on the team that scores will do 5 squats and 5 merkins while the team that did not score walks to their end zone.

We ran out of time but it was super fun for everybody (& skins won).

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The decision to lead (a Q or anything else)- what factors come down to it? What factors do you consider when making any decision? What should you consider? I think there are 3, but we’ll focus on the first one:

Qualifications
Ability
Desire

So I’m going to read verses on authority of those with the right qualifications. See where you fit in and see how you can properly exercise and submit to that authority in your life today:
“For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.” –‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:3-4‬ ‭ESV‬‬
“So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly;”
“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,” –‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:25‬ ‭ESV‬‬
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” –‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

So, today step into the role you’ve been given to lead – as an official of the government (which is established by God), as an elder in a church, as a husband and a father in your home, and as a friend to a brother who you’re walking with daily. God will be glorified and pleased.

MOLESKIN:
Ultimate used to be an idol in my life. I gave it up for almost 3 years and now I’m playing again. It’s still a lot of fun but with a lot more freedom than I used to. It held me captive and now it is really as the verse says:

17 Now the Lord[a] is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” –2 Corinthians 3:17

Mumble chatter was on point today. No one seemed to be a fan of the Illuminati raises but that was to be expected. BYOCMU went perfectly we had just enough.
