MOLESKIN:
The Christmas tree at the top of One Tree Hill was a beautiful sight through the fog of this morning’s gloom.

The Balance exercises were timed and called out by an app because I’m lazy.  You can set up whatever exercises and intervals you want, and it uses text-to-speech to call them out.  Available for real phones.  I-Toy owners are SOL.  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hybrid.intervaltimer

Man was a hunter. Had an active lifestyle. Moved to live. Would rest during the warmer part of the day. Ok to rest after gotten activity in. Ok to take in some calories if you moved for the day “hunted”. Where man fails today is he leads a sedentary lifestyle but still consumes high calories.

We can gain individual strength in our struggles through accountability with our brothers.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We as men are expected to be courageous, but I don’t think that a lot of men know what that means. Someone once explained it to me like this: Imagine that you are afraid of snakes and there is a child next to you that is not afraid of snakes. If the child picks up a snake, that does not show courage. But if you pick up a snake, it is courageous. Courage is not the lack of fear, it is overcoming fear. Look at men in the military. My cousin earned a bronze star as a platoon leader in Iraq in 2003. One of his men got shot and my cousin ran across the road, threw the guy over his shoulder, and ran back shooting his M16 with one hand. He did not go get that guy because he thought it was a good opportunity to earn a bronze star. He got that guy because that guy is his brother and the fellowship that they have was enough for my cousin to overcome his fear of running through a street full of flying bullets. The first day that I came to F3, I came to get in better shape and to make myself better. I was scared to do my VQ, but today I showed up for the men who came. I showed up to make them better. That is why F3 works so well, because of that 2nd F and being able to push each other and work with each other to overcome our fears and show courage.
