CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

With everything going on with the Pandemic, be sure to check in on people and make sure they are doing well.

When you are visiting family and friends, try to avoid the “How is work going?” and ask “Are you happy?”

The happiest of people don’t have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Real Acronym – Rejects Passivity, Expects a greater reward, Accepts responsibility & Leads courageously. Today we talked about Expecting a greater Reward, God’s Reward. I read Genesis 3 the story of the Fall. How Adam had God’s reward and thencthen to pursue a worldly desire and caused the Fall of Man. We need to do things with the expectation of God’s reward.
MOLESKIN:
We had an FNG who tried to convince us he was a #respect. Hobo visited from Memphis, hopefully he got his money worth.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It’s a great time to know the Lord.  So much in our culture is shifting.  Apart from being anchored in knowing God, we are like shifting sand driven by the waves all around us.  Anchor your souls in the knowledge of God.  What a great time to go back and study some basic theology (study of God) about the attributes of God — He is unchangeable, holy, wise, good, loving, sovereign.  To know God leads to trusting God and finding an anchor for our souls.  Spend some time in the Bible, a good theology book, or grab another man and study God together. 

Shake and Bake

THE SCENE: The Dog Pound ground was dry but the air was soaking wet. It was Hum-Ed.

Did some classic SSH, Merkins, this and that’s, burpees and baby arm circles.
THA-THANG:

Doubtfire took over the Q duties and made us run to Nashville, I mean the pavalon. Mayberry had to remind him we did build pull up bars but Doubtfire just kept making us run like some sort of evil dictator. We pleaded to stop but he just hissed at us. I was scared.
We finally got to the pavalon where he had a boom box playing soothing sounds from what sounded like Barbara Streisand. Doubtfire said it was his favorite singer and mentioned something like “she is magical” and looked at us all quite uncomfortably. He then told us o do  pull ups and lunges starting with one and working up to 11. Running up to the top gravel it and doing the same with burpees. How nice of him. Once the first heart attack happened he called off the dogs and we headed back the long cut way to the AO because the previous Q forgot his cell at the steps.
Once everyone got back to the AO and we hit 3 miles, we had a little date with Mary.

MARY:
Hello dollys for the cheetahs until the 6 (me) caught up. Then as a group we did flutters x30 and some awkward one legged donkey kicks to firm up the buttocks for the ladies. There were tennis players there and I was tempted to do pickle pounders and monkey jumpers but figured that they would enjoy it too much.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
12 total with one FNG Mudpuppy
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Doubtfire took the reins and talked about the 2nd F and reaching out to our brothers in need. If you haven’t seen someone in a while reach out to them. Dedicate some time to them. Lots of struggles going on out there and no one needs to go through it alone.
MOLESKIN:
Doubtfire and I have been absent from the dog pound for quite a while. Although I still consider the dog pound my original home AO,  I have been cheating on them with the equalizer. I do feel bad about it. The equalizer guys are so nice to me. No one ever tells me that I’m stupid or get out of my way tank you’re going to slow. They never say things like “man are you out of shape.” Or “that’s not the way you do a Burpee you loser”. I was feeling pretty good about myself and I think I needed to be knocked down a couple of notches, that’s why I decided to come back to the dog pound. It was good To be humbled. In all seriousness though, I did miss the guys at the dog pound. I think I’m going to be mixing it up a little bit more in the future. #allf3AOsRULE

How to Kraken a CMU

THE SCENE: Muggy with a capital “M”
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH (4 ct IC) x 25; BAC (4ct IC -forward and reverse) x 10; OH Claps (4 ct IC) x 10; This and that; Tempo squats (IC) x 15.
THA-THANG:
This morning, we battle the Kraken with CMUs.  So, grab your CMU and make your way to one of 8 stations.  Complete the exercise at the station and then do a lap around the AO parking lot, past your last station to the next.  Each station’s exercise has a high rep or low rep choice.  You are free to pick either option.  You must carry your CMU on your lap around, alternating carry as follows:

Westbound:  Overhead carry (Cusak carry);

Southbound: Farmer carry, right hand

East bound: Tray carry out front;

Northbound: Farmer carry, left hand.

The stations are as follows (incl. rep choices):

  • Overhead press (25/40);
  • Froggy Crunches, 4 ct (15/25);
  • Curls (25/40);
  • Kettle Bell swings (25/40);
  • CMU Merkins (25/40);
  • Flutter Kicks w/ CMU held up (25/40);
  • Blockies (10/20); and
  • Goblet Squats (20/30).

I think we had enough time for everybody to complete one circuit. Very little mumblechatter today.  I’m guessing this was because the Pax was disappointed in how easy it was.  I’ll ramp it up next time.
MARY:
25s of Reverse Lunges and BBS, running Baby Everest in between.  Cut it short to gather at the top and watch a beautiful sunrise for a moment.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
On this day in 1954, Elvis made his debut on local Memphis radio with “That’s Alright Mama.”  It is a reminder to me that big things start small.  We don’t need to focus on some great challenge or goal all at once.  God gives the ability do great things by simply taking that small first step.  ” I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20).  The smallest seeds planted with faith still produce huge trees.  Let’s keep striving, regardless of how small our efforts seem.  They will bear fruit.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers offered today for Snag’s father and continued healing and recovery.  Prayers offered also to Snitch’s 2.0, Ava for a quick recovery from her accident, so that she won’t have any complications, and praises that it wasn’t more serious.  Also, we enjoyed quite the sunrise this morning with a beautiful rainbow.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Don’t forget “Off the Chain” CSAUP at the Dog Pound on the 18th.  Sign up!
