CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Love people where they are. Don’t judge them. Love them regardless because they’re Gods child just like you and I are.  It’s easy to say but difficult to do.

It ticks me off when people complain about how horrible America is. While we’re not perfect, we’ve got lots of freedoms that others around the world don’t have.

Lots of people are acting horrible after the Row V. Wade decision…that includes Pro-Life and Pro-Aborion (choice) advocates. I’m 100% Pro-Life. Again, very easy for me to say. What happens if my teenage daughter or yours gets raped and pregnant? What if it the decision is to have the baby and the Mom dies? These cases happen…yes, they are not large numbers but they happen.

We, as Christians, are going to have to step up and help support teenagers and adult women who aren’t mentally or financially prepared to raise a child. Our churches will have to step up and do the same. I’d love to adopt but my wife keeps telling me how old we are…she’s right but what am I doing to help the hundreds of thousands of kids in the foster system? What will I do for the potential millions who will be in there after unfit mothers have their kids taken from them?

We have to pray about it and make a difference in the lives of the mothers, babies/children and the fathers that are trying to raise their kids. Let’s love them and pray for them because like you and me, they’re Gods child.

Romans 3:23 ESV For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Matthew 6:14-15 ESV For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

1 John 1:8 ESV If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Matthew 7:1-29 ESV “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. …

Psalm 7:11 ESV God is a righteous judge.

Mark 12:31 ESV “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. ‘ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Community is a necessity. My M and her Bible study are doing an entire study on how to “finds your people.”

For HIMs it’s much easier. To have community you have to put yourself out there for sure. Like Ms. Lippy taught you, if you want to have a friend, be a friend.

More than anything, you can’t have community without BEING THERE. Be present, be involved. Post. Sign up to Q. Take the flag for a spell.

MOLESKIN:
I was dog tired before we started, and lying in a ditch tired when we were finished. Thanks to the men for the push

Bearing Our Burdens

THE SCENE: Warm and steamy mid-70s (great for generating sweat)

WARM-O-RAMA:
A plethora of SSHs, Merkins, Tempo Squats, Tie Fighters, and Grady Corns; A quick meander and mosey to the CMU pile and the pillars of the church

THA-THANG:

Dora-style load bearing… battle-buddies select a pillar of pain and station their CMUs for a sweet sweat sesh; HIM 1 works through reps at pillar while HIM 2 moves 1 or 2 CMUs to the center of the parking lot; After running back to swap, HIM 2 continues the reps while HIM 1 goes to gather the load and returns it to the pillar;  Rinse and repeat while moving through the exercises and reps collectively.

Exercise 1: 300 reps of Wall Sit Grady Corns

Exercise 2: 200 reps of CMU Squat Thrusters

Exercise 3: 100 reps of CMU Alternating Merkins

Exercise 4: 50 Blockees

On the way back to the CMU pile we stopped to load the dock; Each HIM moved their CMU on to the dock, jumped up on the dock, carried their CMU down the steps; Each worked in 2 reps; Waxjob inspired many to Rifle Carry Hold while waiting to load the dock.

MARY:

After dropping off our CMUs and a steady mosey back to the AO; the PAX enjoyed the great tradition of burpees for broken CMUs – fortunately we only had 1 block broken – so we did 10 burpees OYO

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
16 HIMs walked away huffing and sweaty…. no FNGs

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Galations 6:2-3 NLT… “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.  If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself.  You are not that important.”

Expect the unexpected.  Life is full of challenges and burdens that sometimes we create ourselves.  The F3 PAX is here to help and will gladly help carry your burdens as men… but you have to make your need known. I love these men and would do anything to help any one of them.
