COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
10 PAX
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Stepping out of comfort. We do not continue to grow and become better if we continue doing the same comfortable movements day in and day out. Throughout the bible we find stories about how someone wasn’t comfortable doing what God has set out for them to achieve, but no matter the struggle they end up overcoming the uncomfortable request and become someone greater. Remember that God will be with you, and He will provide the opportunities.
MOLESKIN:
Absolutely LOVE this A.O. Tons of space for any beatdown one could dream up. Multiple hills so the PAX don’t see the same thing or know what to expect prior to the Q calling it out. AND, perhaps the most important note: the mumble chatter that was ALIVE during the beatdown today #TheyAreLearning #BLESSED.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In Ephesians 5 Paul exhorts those of us who are husbands to love our wives “just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” I usually have thought of that verse in the context of his ultimate sacrifice for us on the cross. Of course, that event was the culmination of his saving love for us, but giving himself started far before that. He gave himself when he left the comfort of Heaven and stepped down to be born into a limited body like ours. He gave himself every day during his ministry when he was tired and hungry and wanted anything but to deal with more throngs of people. Every day he actively sought out ways to give himself for us. As you go through your day, look for ways that you can give yourself up; your needs, your desires, your conveniences, for your wife and show Christ’s love to her and also as an example to your children.
MOLESKIN:
2 weeks was a long time to be away from the Pound. Missed you guys, but it was great to get to witness the great start for the Bomb Shelter. Great job everyone who EH’d! Toddler Toss ended up being significantly more hazard potential than anticipated. I guess rocks don’t care if you drop ’em so they don’t help out at all like real toddlers do.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayer for Swirlie and family. Truckin’ To the Pound CSAUP 6am at Bob Leonard, F3 Knoxville 2nd Anniversary celebration McFee park November 4.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The Anticipation of a Q always brings Q-citement. In the morning it felt like I was a kid on Christmas morning waiting for the rest of the house to wake up so I could rip open my presents. I believe that’s because what we have at F3 is a gift and privilege. It’s a gift that we get to share with others.
MOLESKIN:
Great turnout for the 3rd workout at this AO. Mr. Rogers was on fire naming the FNG’s today!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
What F3 means to me, more than a workout. The love and comradery of this group of men is far beyond anything I have ever experienced. It’s about the guy to your right and left and how they are doing; not only in the workout, but that care continues into the world, the day to day life. The fellowship, the friendships that grow, the comfort of knowing the PAX will be there (regardless of your situation) to help. Know that, believe that, and carry it on!
