CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My now double confession. The one is obvious. I was late for my own Q. I am sorry and somehow neglected a side thing of turning my alarm back on after these 2 weeks away.

The second is much harder to admit, but oddly due to another simple mistake. Jesus holds us men to a high standard when he said, “Whoever looks at a woman with lustful intent has committed adultery in his heart.” Normally, given my past addiction to pornography, my first and only defence against these random temptations is to humble myself and pray immediately asking Jesus to give me his righteousness and to renew my mind. I don’t know what caused me to try and deal with the thought in my own strength, but it didn’t go well. I failed on the simple task of setting my alarm (so to speak) and trusting in God’s strength and righteousness to rescue me from the situation. So my heart quickly spiraled into a bad place and even began to seek out borderline pornographic content. Thank God for my wife, Carolyn! She called me in that exact moment to chat. I ended up confessing to her and God started stepping in to heal my brokenness. How much is that like Christ!? How much were the HIMs this morning like Christ as they sought me out in the gloom wondering where I was? Jesus leaves the 99 and seeks the 1. I’m thankful for men I call friends who echoed that attitude this morning in leaving the comfort of their beds and heading out into the rain to seek me out.
MOLESKIN:
If you are dealing with something. Don’t deal with it alone. You need others to help you whether you realize it or not. Don’t be like I was and try to hide it for years and years. Get it out in the light.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Mosey to the valley of death. Some Hamstring scoops, quad stretchers, frankenstines and LBAC on the way.
THA-THANG:
Thang 1- this was kind of a Cooper but not really .

Pax started at the base of No Mercy Hill and Spaghetti Hill. Pax did 10 reps of the following exercises: Burpees, Squats and Merkins.

We then ran from the base to the top of No Mercy Hill and then down and back up Spaghetti hill to the next check point and then back to the valley. Repeat for time

Total distance of the run was about .30 miles. Goal was to complete 10 rounds. Most pax got about 4 -5 rounds done. Q called an autoball and told the pax to cut reps down to the corresponding reps for rounds if this had been a ladder i.e if you were on round 4 you started round 4 with 6 reps of all exercises and then moved to 5,4,3,2,1.

Pinniocio and Q decided that a weighed vest was a good idea. While we got that butt kick we also realized we need to give Walt one or a restrictor plate!

We went about 30 min then headed back to the AO. One the way back we had a stretch of road with lots of light post. Pax Bernie from one light post to the next than switched back to run and back and forth for the stretch of road. A wagon wheel was needed because Walt again was blowing us all away.

When we got to the AO we started to do two walking lunge’s ( one on each leg) and a squat till the Q told the pax to finish with a run into the grindstone

MARY:
No time for Mary

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The world is shifting, we can see it and based on historical or biblically context we are seeing a changing world. In times of change strong virtuous leaders are born. Regardless of what you think of the direction of the world its clear that virtuous men will be needed to stand up and lead. Ask yourself what is that line for you? What will you be willing to make sacrifices for? Leaders don’t put their head down, they don’t take a knee and they don’t shy away from challenges.
MOLESKIN:
Q saw his daughters BF driving by us and heading away from Q’s house ( were were around the corner from my house). Never during a beatdown did i think i was going to have to think why my daughters BF was leaving my house! i think its time to bring him out to the PAX!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’m coming up on my one year wedding anniversary. I have been divorced at a young age so i have really leaned into my marriage and am trying to be a better husband every day. Looked into the Q Source for some wisdom on marriage. Couple of great quotes:

The Key to the meaning of life ” Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love” King Solomon

There is no 50 yrd line in your marriage, meeting your M halfway is not good enough. A HIM must drive the ball the full length of the field, regardless if your M ever breaks the huddle.

The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does matters.
MOLESKIN:

Great to have Brown Shorts out from F3 Greenville SC
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
HH coming up, we need all PAX to help get the obstacles up and ready for both AO’s. The Arsenal will also need some support in building its new obstacle.
