CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:

If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

We have sweated together, been rained on together, bled together, prayed together, played together and got better together.

I want to thank everyone I have met in F3.  We have opened up our hearts and minds to one another.  Even if we don’t know one another that well, I know you care about me and my family just like I care about you and your family.  We lean on one another when we need it…we laugh, we eat, we drink but we also pray for one another and our families.

F3 is good for our heart and soul.  Let’s keep supporting one another whether we’re the fastest or bringing up the 6 like I often do.  Let’s also encourage others to join us.  Lots of men need us just like I need you.  We have impacted each other and I’m certain there are other men that need to get involved with F3 whether it’s for their physical health, their mental health or their spiritual health!

THA-THANG:  Interlaken
Using a FIFO Sprint Train,  inter link (connect) the three lakes on campus.

While one person sprints to the next exercise station, the rest of the group does the current exercise in place.  When one person finishes the sprint he calls out “Go” to the next in line person, who then stops doing the exercise and sprints to the next station.  Upon reaching the next exercise station, begin doing the next exercise until the whole group has reached the current station.  It works best if we all stay in the same order.   Sprints are designed to be mostly on the straight aways and about 100 yards.  Exercises are:

  1. Plank hold.
  2. Leg lift hold.
  3. Squat Hold.
  4. Side Plank Star Hold.
  5. Elbows to Plank.
  6. In place Lunges

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

How many of you have hit golf balls at a driving range? When you have all or most of the balls, typically, we just let it rip. However, when the bucket is nearly empty, we start to focus.

We need to be like a soldier, an athlete and a farmer.  A solder is focused and purposeful.  An athlete is disciplined, committed and dedicated. A farmer has faith/hope because they are planting seeds to produce & sustain life.

God didn’t promise us an easy life but a meaningful one if we live through Him

If our life were like a clock and we were born at 7:00 a.m. and died at 11:00 p.m., on average, if you are:

20 years old, it’s 11:43 a.m. in your life

30 years old, it’s 1:17 p.m. in your life

45 years old, it’s 5:00 p.m. in your life

I turned 47 not long ago which means it’s after 5:00 p.m. in my life.

In life, we don’t know which day will be our last so we need to focus today and every day on what is important…make the call to a loved one, teach our kids lessons right away, be the person we want and need to be NOW.

We need to tee up that golf ball that we call life and focus every day or shot like it could be the last of our life!

TEE IT UP & SWING AWAY!!!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I recently gave a friend a call who I knew was having a tough stretch. I found out that his life is more difficult and complex than I thought. It turns out he really (his own words) needed someone to reach out to him. So, be active. Reach out to friends, if they’re fine they will let you know. If not, then listen as much as you can. I encourage you all to make a phone call on your 30 min commute, or maybe while running to the store.
MOLESKIN:
Good work today guys. I am really glad I signed up to Q. If I had not I prolly woulda fartsacked. I am grateful for you all.
