CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:  My heart has been focused on my relationship to Jesus and whether or not I’m all in or not.   As Americans we tend to mold Jesus to fit our lifestyle and our comforts, when actually it should be the other way around.  Take a moment and ask yourself….are you living 100% for Christ or are you fitting him into your routine?   In Matthew 13 Jesus tells a parable which compares Heaven to a treasure that is found in a field.   The man who finds the treasure covers it up and then sells all he has to buy the field.  I’m sure the man in the parable faced ridicule from others who thought he was crazy to sell all of his possessions to buy the field, however he knew the value contained within the ground therefore he gladly accepted the ridicule.  That’s the perspective we should have…our faith in Christ should be such a treasure to us that we willingly accept ridicule, punishment, even death because we know that the prize is of so much greater value than anything this world can offer.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Life is too short to get upset about stupid little annoyances in our lives. I have been working on this the past 6 months and my wife says I’m sweeter to her. I can tell we are closer and more loving when I’m not always trying to educate and correct her. She is my best friend and not identical to me. If I accept her as she is we lead a much happier life with a tight relationship.

MOLESKIN:
Thanks to locals for showing me around the park on a recon ruck. Nice place you got! Wall ball did some marathon training instead of the beatdown, but we enjoyed his mumblechatter when he passed by.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I tend to Q on days that have meaning. On Friday my oldest daughter turns 10. It’s big day for me because it’s a reminder of the first time I met her and really experienced unconditional love. I was told I may love a lot of things, but nothing will compare with how much you love and care for your children.

MOLESKIN:

After scaring the doo out of Flanders and Frosty in the morning, I learned how sketchy running on the backside of Matterhorn is by yourself. Sparky said it best, “Every sound back there is a Godzilla”. Seadangacide was inspired from Shooter’s Seadangus (also a bag of suck). If I were to do it again, I would call the PAX together sooner so we could all come back to the AO together.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Intensity – the quality of being intense.  Synonyms for intensity – strength, power, potency, force.

We can talk all day long about what level on intensity we bring to an F3 workout and how someone should step it up or step it down.  However, what level of intensity are we taking when it comes to:

  • Work?
  • Family?
  • Friends?
  • Kids?
  • Faith?

We need to increase our level of intensity in all these and stop being selfish.  We need to put God first, everyone else second, and ourselves third.

MOLESKIN:
We tried something new that I have never done at an F3 workout.  Internally you worry that it won’t be good enough, or that it won’t work out like you have planned.  But in the end the PAX had fun, got a little sweaty, and did some really good work.  That is all that matters.  #ISI

PS there were a lot of other drills for the agility ladders but we ran out of time.
