CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Exodus 2:11ff
One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people. He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling together. And he said to the man in the wrong, “Why do you strike your companion?” He answered, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, and thought, “Surely the thing is known.” When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well.

Moses recognized the unjust situation of his people and wanted to do something about it… but he decided to take matters into his own hands and handle it his own way. Instead of helping the situation, he ended up on Pharaoh’s most wanted list. It wasn’t until he was called by God and led each step of the way that the people of Israel left slavery in Egypt. Be careful about charging into a situation with guns, or fists, or words blazing. Take a step back, seek God’s timing and direction.

MOLESKIN:
Not sure which one was worse… The 8-count body builders or the Crawl Bear Stairs.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This Q was way harder by myself on Sunday.  It was much easier with the group.  Life is the same way.  So many times we try to do things on our own and we don’t rely on God.  We try and try ourselves and when we fail, then we turn to God.  We need to put God in everything we do and rely on him to carry us and let his will be done, not ours.  Life is much better with God in it, and not doing it by ourselves.

Inspiration from Jocko Podcast – http://jockopodcast.com/2017/04/26/72-losing-a-son-to-war-true-honor-and-leadership-that-applies-to-real-life-w-col-tom-manion/

“If not me, then who?” – 1stLt Travis Manion, USMC

In our daily lives we pass by so many things where our first thought is ‘Somebody else will take care of that.’ While listening to the Jocko Podcast (link is above), I heard of 1st Lt. Travis Manion who lived by the thought of “If not me, then who?” This really struck me as did the story of his life and death. I’ve been dwelling on the thought of “If not me, then who?” for this past week and realize we can apply this to many aspects of our lives. From our marriages and families, to our jobs, to our F3 workouts. Look for those opportunities to step and be leaders or just to make a difference.

Rolling the Dice

THE SCENE: Warm and muggy, slight drizzle towards the end almost provided some relief
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Michael Phelps

LBAC x 20 IC each way

Plank Jacks x 20 IC

Hand Release Merkins x 20 OYO
THA-THANG:
Moseyed to end of parking lot.  Took turns rolling 3 dice, green for exercise, other 2 multiplied for number of reps.

  • 1. Burpees
  • 2. Dips
  • 3. Out & Back
  • 4. Merkins
  • 5. Mtn Climbers (4-count)
  • 5. Lt. Dangers

Once again, like the last time we did the dice, the reps tended to stay low (under 20) and we hit the Lt. Dangers a number of times.  Fast-n-Easy was disappointed to not roll 36 burpees.  We nearly made it thru 3 rounds of rolls.

Moved to near the front of the school for some Brickyard (Ascending) Bear Crawls.

Back to starting point for about 5 minutes of dealer’s choice Mary ending with prisoner get-ups

Talked about loving our neighbors, an ongoing thing at Brickyard.  We need to have God’s love in us to be able to give it to others.  We are to be the example of light to them.
