COT: Eccl 4: 9-10
9 Two are better than one,
    because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
    one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
    and has no one to help them up.
Acts 4:32-33
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all
I personallly had an experience this past Friday whereby I needed help — my daughter had slid off the side of the road in her car, and I was looking on who to call for help. I didn’t check work, I didn’t check other circles, I immediately thought of my F3 brethren. Partly location, but partly because I knew Dartgun and Mailbox for several years, and know them, I’ve sweated with them out in the gloom…and I knew they would help. That’s the church, isn’t it? This is the body…let’s live it out

COT:. Leading with Gratitude. Simple concept but have to be intentional to practice routinely. Shared 10 coin trick to hold self accountable for keeping frequency. Start with 10 coins in left pocket and move one to right pocket each time you show gratitude to someone throughout the day. Practice in all circle of influence! Don’t forget your family too!

COT:

Talked about Joy and seeing things through glass half full lens despite trials and tribulations life throws our way. Mom’s health struggles and subsequent miracle recoveries and positive attitude through it all has been a blessing in many ways and a gut check as well when I can be frustrated or down despite much better circumstances. Thank you for prayers and checking in. Means a lot.

COT:
This is my 4 year anniversary of joining F3. We talked about the importance of using a back blast. I was able to recall from my first post 4 years ago the attendees, the workout and the message. Now that we have a new and improved back blast system, I would encourage everyone to record this data because it is important.

The Thang:
Metric Workout #1
(Every man will need 1 CMU)

Set a timer for 30 minutes.
Complete as many cumulative reps as you can in that time.

The following list of exercises are performed in sets of 25 reps. After completing a set of 25 reps, put down your CMU, run 25 yards, do 2 burpees, return to your CMU, and continue.

Here are the exercises:

– 150 curls
– 125 heavy squats
– 100 OHP
– 75 CMU swings
– 50 Thrusters
– 25 Blockees
When you finish the Blockees, start back at the top with curls.

It will look like this:

25 curls → 25 yard run → 2 burpees → 25 yard run → 25 curls…repeat until 150 curls are finished, then switch to squats…etc.  

Once through the entire circuit is 525 reps (burpees do not count toward total).

How many cumulative reps can you complete?

MARY:
Flutter kicks and snow angels while the 6 caught up to the group during the Nosey back to the flag.

COT:
Last Thursday I hosted the young professional group from church. There were approximately 28 of them in my home. I loved seeing the good time they were having and the depth of relationships between them because this is the group that my wife and I started 12 years ago and that we stepped out of 5 years ago. The group has had its share of struggles with participation since we left but it has great momentum now and will be a spiritual blessing to each of them as they age as well as to the church. I see it as a spiritual legacy for me.

3 John 1:4 ESV
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

What is your legacy? What will you leave behind if anything? Will it be with family, work, history and or the church?
