COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
2 PAX this morning, plus some creepy guy who sat in his truck the whole time, his beady eyes and puffy face eerily illuminated by the dim yellow-green glow of Flappy Bird flitting across the screen of his iPhone X.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Brief… Goes along with the EH cards I brought. As Abscess mentioned this week, don’t stop the EH when an FNG shows up. Reach out and continue to encourage! (also, Q.)
MOLESKIN:
Well, OK the dude in the truck wasn’t necessarily creepy. And made up all the detail. Couldn’t see that much… But he was on his phone just about the whole time, except when I went over to put on the ol’ EH. He was asleep. Left a card on his windshield…

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 strong… Not bad for fall break
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I just installed some cabinets in my basement. I ordered online from Home Depot, and when they came in I started having second thoughts. They looked pretty flimsy, and wobbled pretty bad. However, once I screwed the six units together, they became much more solid. Then, after I anchored them to the wall studs and put a countertop on them, they were rock solid. As a PAX, we support one another, and strenghten one another as we lock shields. But our ultimate support comes from the anchor in Christ.
MOLESKIN:
I didn’t eat well or hydrate last night, and I really felt it this morning. By the end of the beatdown I could barely mosey across the grinder. Not a good feeling! Nutrition and Hydration!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Read a passage from 1 Timothy 6.  Basic take home point is to keep your focus on Christ and to let him be your motivation.  Don’t be lured by money, success or wordly pleasure…rather let Christ be your goal.

MOLESKIN:
I had originally planned to do this workout on Baby Everest which would have been a lot harder, but there was a skunk running around in the parking lot by that hill so I decided to audible.   Saved by the skunk!!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We commit time and discipline to strengthening our physical bodies. How are we strengthening our spirits for the battles we are in? Ephesians 6: 10-18 gives us a good picture of the spiritual battle that wages around us.

The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

MOLESKIN:
Once again, I’m moved by how blessed we are to be able to get better together. But I’m also amazed by the struggles that we have in our individual lives: marriage, family, work, church. Life is tough and not all of us are winning in our struggles, but there is tremendous hope in Christ: We are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
A few announcements were made…

Let’s Make a (Bad) Deal

THE SCENE: Still way too warm for late September, daggummit!
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x26 IC
TN Rocking Chair x15 IC
Asphalt Kissers x10 IC
Imperial Squat Walkers x15 IC
LBAC fwd and back x15 IC
OHC x20 IC

THA-THANG:
Wouldn’t be CMUesday without CMUs! Head over and grab one.

Each corner of the parking lot has 3 cards. One has a number of reps on each side. One has an exercise on each side. One has a traveling exercise on each side.
Only one side of the card is visible… Content of the other side is unknown.
PAX take turns choosing for each card to take what’s face up, or make a deal and switch to the unknown side…

Station 1:
Tricep Extensions/(Squat Thrust), 30/(45), Crawl Bear/(Inchworm Merkins)
Choices: Kept the Tri’s, Snitch switched the reps to 45 (groans all around), traded Crawl Bear for Inchworm Merkins (pushing CMU ahead)!

Station 2:
CMU Big Boys/(CMU Merkins), 30/(60), Twist Lunge/(CMU-icide)
Choices: Kept the reps and the exercise, but flipped over Twist Lunge to reveal the CMU-icide (suicide with CMU carry)

Station 3:
On the Shelf/(One-hand OHP), 30/(20), Pregnant Crab/(Blockee Broad Jump)
Choices: Kept On the Shelf, missed a reprieve by keeping the 30 reps. Nobody liked the Pregnant Crab idea… Until we found out what was on the other side.

Station 4:
Burpee Hop-Over/(8-Count Blocky Builder), 25/(10), CMU-icide/(Bunny Hop)
This one was the spirit-breaker. After the Blockee Broad Jumps, nobody wanted to touch the Burpees. But we ended up with the 8-Count Blocky Builders instead! 25 showing… Nobody brave enough to make the deal that would have cut the reps to 10. Let’s knock ’em out! Everyone happy to run the CMU-icide, so Bunny Hops remained hidden.

One lap completed! Time for another lap, this time with the excercise/rep combos that were NOT chosen last time:

Station 1:
Squat Thrust revealed. Only 30 since we did 45 last round… Snitch gets apologies from the PAX. Interminable Crawl Bear dragging the CMU.

Station 2:
Merkins on the CMU – 60 of ’em! That’s a lot… If you need a breather, take a mosey down the parking lot and back.

Had to call time halfway through Station 2… Back to the pile with the CMUs

11 strong this morning. Welcome to Frat Boy from F3 Fort Mill!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord:

though your sins are like scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow;

though they are red like crimson,

they shall become like wool.”

Most of the deals I offered today kinda sucked. Some just worse than others. And you didn’t know what you were going to get. God lays it all out there. Here’s His deal: Trade your sins for His righteousness through Christ!

MOLESKIN:
Pray for Helga’s family as he heads off to “play army” for a month!

Brolympics coming in November!
