    CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
    It is good to remember that often, ideas have people, not that people have ideas. Be careful when making decisions to avoid falling into the trap of attempting to justify decisions after making them.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS:

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • SSH x 20

THA-THANG:

  1. Split into 2 teams.  Each team had 4-5 CMUs, 4-5 pee rocks, a 70lb kettlebell and an 87lb steel gas can.  Mosey/ruck as a team to the paved hill by the restaurant carrying all of the team’s weight.  Once we reached the hill it was time to build some towers.  Each team had to climb the hill with all of their weight.  Once at the top they could drop 1 item of the team’s choosing and perform 3 burpees as a group.  Then take everything else back down the hill where the group performed 5 squats with whatever weight you were holding at the time.  Rinse & repeat until all weights have been left at the top of the hill.   Teams competed to stack the weight at the top of the hill into the tallest tower possible….tallest tower wins!  All in all it was a pretty good workout….each team made 11 trips up the hill carrying different amounts of weight.
  2. Mosey/ruck everything back to the AO.
  3. Suicide lottery for the remaining time.  There was a bucket filled with exercises.   PAX choose a ticket lottery style and we do the exercise on the suicide course.  The following were chosen:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Ecclesiastes 4:12 talks about a chord of 3 strands and that it is not easily broken.  This is often talked about in light of marriage, which is absolutely correct.  We need a chord of 3 strands (husband, wife, Christ) to have the strength to endure all life throws at us.   But I believe the “3 strand” analogy also applies to other facets of our lives.  Friendships, work relationships, mentoring relationships…I could go on and on.   The question is:  are you allowing Christ to be a part of all of your relationships?  Are you squeezing him out so that there are only 2 strands, or are you letting him in to provide the strength of the 3rd strand?

MOLESKIN:

  • Lots of travel this week…I hope everyone stays safe on the road and enjoys the Thanksgiving holiday!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Discipline. Discipline may be your best friend if you can incorporate into your character. Discipline is about doing. Thinking of course is important, but until action is taken, nothing will get done. Personally, I am trying to wake up at 4:30 a.m. every morning, whether or not I am working out. Additionally, I am trying to work ahead of my classes, even if there are no assignments due or open. In the words of Jocko Willink “Do.” If you want to read more about discipline, check out Jocko Willink’s book “Discipline is Freedom” You can also listen to it on iTunes.
MOLESKIN:
I LOVE getting out there with you lads. Even if I am miserable. Let us charge headlong into the winter!! Additionally, let’s keep praying for Proton and his family. Bless up!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Love as you should.   Don’t just love other Christians, or other guys from F3, or those of the same color, political party, sexual orientation, or college football team.  Jesus came to this earth and spent time with ALL the sinners, not just the ones who had chosen to follow him.

He came and saved all of us, not just his favorites.  Love one another and don’t judge one another.  I live in glass house and I don’t want others throwing rocks at me so I am sure not going to throw rocks at others.

The next time you get angry with someone based on them cutting you off in traffic, posting something on the Book of Faces, their stance on certain issues, or use them as the punch line to one of your jokes.  Remember Jesus died for them just as much as he died for us.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
TTTP October 28, all are welcome
