Welcome back Spurt! Great to have you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I threw it back to my first beat down that Hammy led on May 9, 2020. F3 has meant so much to me and I’ve shared so many good times with all these men. I tell everyone how it has helped me become more disciplined in my life when I am attending regularly from my diet to my faith. From a camping trip, to cook outs, and events, I’ve gotten to know quite a few men that have helped to build me up and push me physically but also with my discipline and faith. With the dwindling numbers at the AOs, it’s sad to see that there are men out there that need our help just like I needed F3 over a year ago. I challenge each one of use to speak to one person about F3 each day over the course of the next week and invite them to a workout. Iron can’t sharpen iron if folks aren’t present with us.

MOLESKIN:

“As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another.”

Philippians 3:13-14 says, “Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own.  But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Perseverance is something that I have historically not been great at.  Yet things like F3, and most of my heroes for that matter, are great at this.  There is a “strain” that we should feel in this life if something is worth doing.  My own Dad worked swing shift at a paper mill and went to school for 18 years to earn his undergraduate degree.  It was hard.  I’m sure there were times where he wanted to quit, but he didn’t.  He stuck it out.  We will all face those types of challenges in our lives when life will get hard, and we will question, “Is it worth all this?”  It might be a particular job, a degree, a marriage, or a struggle with our kids.  However the answer is yes, yes it is.  We have to dig down and gut it out when it hurts.  We have to strain, but it is so much easier to do that together than it is to try and shoulder that alone.  God bless you men.

Shared the Message version of 2 Cor. 3

“Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read, just by looking at you. Christ himself wrote it, not with ink but with God’s living Spirit, not chiseled in stone, but carved into human lives and we publish it”

This verse is a great reminder to have your life be a letter worth reading!

F3 B-Ball

THE SCENE: Upper 60s and nice
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, Cherry-pickers, and LB Arm Circles
THA-THANG:
Everything was basketball themed.  Started off with a plank line and the person in the back would dribble between everyone and once he gets to the end passes the ball back to the last guy and gets down in a plank.  We worked our way down doing both high and low planks.

  • Next we did a relay. When one person dribbles the ball to the other end and back, everyone switched between merkins and squats.  After a few trips each we switched it to dips and dry docks.
  • Next we did a layup relay.  One person would dribble down the court and have to make a layup and dribble to the other goal and make a layup.  You had to make the layup.  While he did that the rest switched between squat jumps and SSHs.
  • The last station everyone got 2 free throws.  We did this as a group so what the shooter got we all did.  If you made 0 shots we had to run to the end do 5 burpees and run back and do 5 more.  If you made 1 shot it was 10 burpees.  If you made both shots it was 5 superstars.

MARY:
We did dealers choice all including a basketball.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

1. “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
2. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships
3. I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying
4. My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
5. You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them
6. Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
7. “If you quit once it becomes a habit. Never quit!”
8. To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
9. The minute you get away from fundamentals – whether it’s proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation – the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you’re doing.
10. Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen
11. Learning’s a gift, even when pain is your teacher.
12. I’ve never lost a game I just ran out of time
13. My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn’t stand the sideline.
