Kinda reused a Bomb Shelter BOM here:

Don’t be scared to live your life. Growth and true happiness occurs outside of your comfort zone. We have to push ourselves in every aspect of our lives to step out and do something different. Don’t shy away from something just because it is scary or unknown. Just do it. It’s better to try and fail than to never know what could have been.

Delayed Gratification

THE SCENE: 60 and nice

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Imperial squat walker x 12
  • Tempo merkins x 12
  • Jump squats x 12

THA-THANG:

Sprints across grinder with 10-1 burpees

Tag

Half start on one side as “it”.

Other half start on other side of grinder must broad jump. “It” must bear crawl. When you get tagged 10 burpees. No tag backs. Those being chased can only move 10 broad jumps at a time. 10 merkins to earn 10 more broad jumps.

We changed this to 2 burpees and probably only played about 5 min. Too much standing around. Next time maybe the broad jumpers need to be doing air squats while waiting to get tagged. Also, merkins were a death sentence so maybe just 5 of those next time.

Bear crawl suicides with burpees each direction change

Sprint across grinder 5 times with 20 squats each pass

Plank walk across parking lot and back

Sprint across grinder 5 times with 20 merkins each pass

Putting in the work first makes the reward that much sweeter. In all things in life, delaying those feel good brain chemicals conditions your body to accept it must work to earn that reward.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Too many times do we ask God to solve our problems for us rather than asking for the strength to battle it on our own. Sometimes the trials we are put through are to make us better men and leaders for our community, and it is our duty to make our way through what is put in front of us. God will always lend us his strength.

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your
God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with
my righteous right hand.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We tend to make judgements about people based on our preconceived notions of who a black person a trans person a Muslim person any person is. Why do we do this? What is the point? Why can’t we just love and accept who people are?

John 15:17 says

“This is my command: Love each other.”

1 John 4:8 says

“But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”

As someone relatively on the outside of religion, when I hear the hateful words coming from leaders and others who claim to be godly, it makes me think I don’t want any part of religion. So I plead with you who do proselytize your faith to set a better example. The example of Christ to love everyone.

MOLESKIN:
