CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

God Initiates and so should we to get better physically, spiritually, and relationally.

It has been often said that the chief sin of Man is the sin of passivity.  We can be like Adam and standby and allow sin and separation to occur.  We busy ourselves with the material world while disengaging relationally or emotionally from what is going on in and around us.  We don’t have to be in great shape to show up to F3 and get better.  All we have to do is set the alarm, show up, and work hard.   Are there places in our lives relationally where we have avoided discussions because they are hard or uncomfortable?  We don’t have to have all the right answers we just need to initiate and step in where we know God is calling us.  Don’t be silent like Adam.  Step up an be the leader that God has called you to be.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for the students family and friends that lost his life on campus due to alcohol poisoning.  Praying that those effected would be impacted in a positive way through the other students seeking to meet them where they are and share the Gospel.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA 
31 PAX including one FNG: Kyle Baisley email: kyle.baisley@gmail.com
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Discussed how we all face suffering in this life and that just like going up and down cardiac it can be very difficult. On cardiac we could persevere because we had brothers pushing us and encouraging us and we knew the workout was going to end. In life as Christians we endure suffering and face many trials. We are able to face these trials because we have hope in eternity with Christ and we have other Christian brothers and sisters who help encourage us and carry these burdens. Encouraged the PAX to go out and help carry burdens of those suffering and to remind those suffering of the fact that we have an eternal hope and that their suffering won’t last forever.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

43 strong this morning – No FNG’s

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Be content with the gifts and blessings that God grants you. We all fall into the trap of wanting more…..just a little more money, a little bigger house, a nicer vehicle, just a little more time, a little more grace from our spouses. The bottom line, though, is that no matter how much “more” we have in terms of worldly possessions, it will never provide the fulfillment and joy that we are seeking. No matter how much “better” our circumstances become, we will never be satisfied. We must avoid the temptation to keep wanting more, and instead, be content and thankful for everything that God has already given to us.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

3rd F event coming up this Sunday (2/4) at the Wesley House. Workout starts at 2 pm and will be a great way to give back to the community.

going to see the General

THE SCENE: 25* and slightly windy, luckily the AO was clear of ice
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH x25 IC
Tempo squats x10 IC
SSH x20 IC
Tempo merkins x25 IC

THA-THANG:

Four cones are set up at each corner of the sidewalk that runs around the perimeter of the grass lawn at world’s fair park.  Each cone represents a stop point along the way for an exercise.  Move on to the next making your way back to the beginning.  Exercises are merkins, jump squats, WWII sit ups, Carolina dry docks.  PAX start at 10 reps of each exercise, decreasing to 9 reps on the second, lap, 8 reps on the third lap, etc.  PAX halt after completing lap with 6 reps of each exercise.

Mosey up and across pedestrian bridge beside 11th St parking garage, up and around the hill and down beside the Alumni Memorial Building to the amphitheater.  Going up amphitheater steps, PAX must bunny hop on flat areas and box jump up to the next level.  Once reaching the top, perform 5 squats.  Turn around, and bear crawl down the steps, once reaching the bottom perform 5 derkins.  Repeat this routine for 3 rounds.  Once all PAX complete, take a 5 count break and line up at the base again.  In the style of Growruck 05, PAX perform the same routine, only this time we make all movements together as a team going up and back down.  We did this as a physical representation of “no man left behind”.

Mosey up the hill beside Neyland Stadium to see the General.  PAX pair up, one partner jumping rope with the general while the other sprints up the Vol walk to the power T and performs 25 incline merkins.  Sprint back down to your partner and flapjack.  Second round repeat the same, only perform 25 decline merkins.  At this point Detention looked like he was shot out of a cannon as he was running faster going uphill than me sprinting downhill.

No real recovery after this routine, PAX had to head back to SP.  Taking same route back, jackrabbits stopped for rounds of squats and SSHs while waiting on the 6 to catch up.  Continue mosey back to the SP, jailbreak on the last straight of the worlds fair lawn to empty the tanks.
