CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Learn to accept the path God has laid out for you. Over the past three months I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on two F3 Brothers personal struggles. In each of these situations I’ve asked what is God trying to teach them. Then moved to a place of what is God trying to teach me. Here I sit wondering what am I supposed to learn. What I am discovering is that we don’t know what God’s plan is for us or for those around us. But I do know that these two Brothers have taught me that God’s timing is his and we are only to trust in Him.
MOLESKIN:
To those two Brothers, THANK YOU for the lessons learned. You are in my prayers always and I will walk the journey with you. No matter the path.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Pray for Lady Junk, Butters son and Trolly’s overly busy schedule and the burden this is putting on his wife.

2019 has been a tough year among our F3 brotherhood – we have dealt with illness, injury, death.  In light of that and also in light of the Christmas season I decided to share several scriptures of encouragement to remind us that GOD is ultimately in control and we can find our rest in him.

MOLESKIN:
It’s always fun to have a big group together for a convergence workout – today was not different.   It was great to see many faces I hadn’t seen in a long time.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The group each shared battles with illness and specifically cancer that people in our circles are going through. BOM – was a story about my high school football coach drilling us into the dirt. When we were getting tired, he told us that we can’t quit and that he wanted to hear us yell back, “You can’t break me Coach!” Whenever I start breaking form or start getting tired, I try to remember that,  “You can’t break me!”
MOLESKIN:
Pentatonix was playing in the background as promised.

THE GOLDEN ROAD

THE SCENE: Low 50s and damp
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Static Stretching, Descending Burpees (x10,  x9, x8, x7, x6, x5) – Co-Q Bartman
THA-THANG:
Mosey to strip center parking lot for 15 more Burpees.

Mosey on to the base of Jucomanjaro. 8 cones spaced out going up to the summit. Each cone marked with an exercise.   Battle Buddies complete 50 reps total as a team, one exercising while the other runs to next cone and performs 3 hand-clap Merkins before running back. Once reps complete, teams move to next cone and repeat, making our way slowly to the top. Exercises: Jump Squats, LBCs, Incline Merkins, Monkey Humpers, Freddy Mercury (4ct), Decline Merkins, Windmills, SSHs.

Once PAX reached the summit, we were greeted by Waxjob, levitating amongst four blazing torches of fire and the Golden CMU perched atop of a large log seemingly engulfed in flames. Bartman presented the Golden CMU to JUCO but required exercises called by Judge Judy (10 Burpees) Booster (100 calve raises) and Spotter (25 Harry Rockettes) before it was handed over.  Judge gave a short speech about Spotter’s awesomeness and announced Spotter would be keeper of the CMU – well deserved!

Pax jogged back down the mountain with the inflamed torches ablaze. Once torches were extinguished in the duck cesspool, PAX performed Merkins – x40, x30 and x10 before circling up for MARY at the shovel flag.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Judge Judy told a story of a hostage situation he encountered at work and the tremendous leadership and bravery displayed by law enforcement during the event.  What difficult Jester in your life is Christ asking you to clean up? Do you have the courage to obey his command, even when it feels like too much to ask?
MOLESKIN:

Golden CMU handoff was absolutely epic. Thank you Bartman for co-Qing with me and Waxjob, La-Z-boy and Code Brown for making the ceremony so creepy, yet awesome.
