fun & games

9/14/19. nugget on Q. Georgetown, DE.

Warm up. 20 SSH, windmill, cherry pickers… high knees, butt kicks, L & R karaoke.

mosey to alley. Mike Tyson set of 7’s with a bear crawl in-between.

mosey to ballfields. 1st game. race around the bases. split into teams. at home do 10 burpees, than bear crawl to first and do 20 big boys, run to second and do 30 merkins, nur to 3rd and do 40 alternating lunge squats jumps then crawl bear to home. first team with 2 PAX to finish win.

2nd game. keep away. one team starts inside the grass baseball diamond with a football and try to keep away from other team that all starts at the pitchers mound then goes after the team with the ball to either tag the person with the ball or intercept/block a pass which stops the time. winning team after 3 rounds using their best time does 5 burpees and losing does 10 burpees.

3rd game. ultimate football. to score you have to pass the ball up the field, once you have the ball you can only take 3 steps. when the possession changes the team that just lost possession needs to do an up-down before they play defense.

mosey to circle for COT! good times fellas, thanks for being HIM!

3rd F on the song reckless love by Cory Asbury and how we have a Father, a heavenly Father that loves us. But although there is a heavenly Father that loves everyone of us, we need to be the best earthly fathers for our families and an example for our family friends and the community because like my wife and I there is an epidemic of people who grow up without dads. I am learning that I want to be a role model for them, but one of those most important jobs in that role is to be a doorway to their heavenly Father. And to help them grow a relationship with Him.

Third F: I shared with the PAX my FEELINGS. The M and I have been going through some home dynamics changes in a very short period of time. Empty Nesting BIG TIME!! Our two oldest 2.0s have been engaged. They both just bought their first houses with their Fiancés. Seeing the empty room at our house has been bitter sweet. These are steps we prepared them for as best we could; but I don’t think we prepared ourselves. It’s been a crazy emotion month for my M and I. A lot of laughs, memories, tears………I’ve been staying strong for the family. I’ve been that shoulder a HIM needs to be for his M and 2.0s. But it hasn’t allowed me to release emotion that I’ve had bottled. Saturday PAX was that outlet for me and I thank you!!!!!

The Growing Pains Cycle

Warm-o-rama- PAX circled up for 20 SSH IC, 20 seal jacks IC, 20 cherry pickers IC and 20 windmills IC

Started Beat Down immediately on our 6 doing 30 LBC IC, Followed by 30 Big Boys OYO, and finally we held superman for 30 count IC.

PAX moseyed 1/4 mile to baseball diamond GUMP had the pleasure of striking out many times on 25 years ago where we began a modified “The Cycle Routine”. PAX began at home plate, bear crawled to first base. At first base We preformed 10 merkins and 10 flutter kicks IC. PAX then crawl bared to home plate. From home plate we bear crawled around first base to second base where we then performed 20 merkins and 20 flutter kicks IC followed by a cozy crawl bear back the way we came. Finally we bear crawled around the baseball diamond all the way to 3rd base where we did, yup you got it 30 merkins and 30 flutter kicks IC and once we crawl bared all the way back the way we came to home plate we reached our F3 message.

The F3 message came out of the NKJV Holy Bible. QIC Gump read Isaiah 40: 28-31
:Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

Habakkuk 3:17-19:
A Hymn of Faith
17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 [a]The Lord God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills.

After F3 Message QIC Gump utilized the baseball diamond with the time we had left and we played a modified cooper routine we ran laps around the baseball field and once we reached home plate we did 10 LBC flutterkicks while feet are flutterkicking PAX does number of LBCs. after exercise we moseyed around the field again and did 8, then 7, wash rince repeat until we reached 5. It was getting close to time to head back to AO so we played Burpee catch me if you can, or cant…….where PAX at back of Indian Run line drops and does 5 burpees while the others keep on running, once HIM catches pack last man drops back and does 5 burpees. We showed up right at 0600 where we circled up for count, and name o rama, followed by announcements and prayer!!

Brexit and the Queen

September 5, 2019

QIC: Wildwing

Posted In: CHOP, Milton

Warm Up: SSH 25x, Cherry Picker 25x, Mountain Climber 25x, Bobby Hurley 25x, Moroccan Night Club 25x

The Thang: Great Britain is in a self inflicted constitutional crisis because of Brexit, the ongoing effort to implement the results of a very close 2017 referendum where citizens decided to jump out of the European Union without knowing what it would cost and what the consequences might be. For two years, politicians have struggled to reach a deal with the EU that Parliament would approve. Two Prime Ministers have resigned after failing to reach an acceptable deal and the new PM’s plans were rejected by Parliament this week. Our PAX decided to work it all out this morning and each HIM / Member of Parliament could vote to (1) leave EU, (2) call for new referendum, or (3) stay in EU. The workout was wrapped around 6 key Brexit moments as follows:

(1) PM May to Brusels – Gets Compromise Deal: MPs do overhead cinder block presses and cinder block Lt. Dan’s.

(2)  Parliament Rejects May Compromise Deal: MPs in two groups – one on wall doing block squats and the other doing 40 seconds of SSH, Squats, and Bobby Hurleys followed by 20 second rest period. Group run around block.

(3)  Boris Replaces May – Promises Complete EU Withdrawal: MP groups change roles. Group run with 30 – 60 – 90 acceleration run.

(4) Coalition Forms – No EU withdrawal without Parliament ok: MPs in two groups – one doing merkins, derkins, and block presses. Other group does 40 second LBC, American Hammers, and Big Boys. Twenty second rest after each.

(5) Boris Purges Party of Unfaithful Pro EU Conservatives: MP groups switch assignments.

(6)  (Proud) Queen Mary Elizabeth Tells MPs to Grow Up and Resolve It: During Circle of Pain, MPs issue Brexit votes —— 3 for Immediate EU exit, 2 for new referendum, 3 for staying in EU.

F3 MESSAGE: (1). Before you vote, know what you are voting for. (2). Don’t let little things in politics (work, life, family) become constitutional crises. (3). Just cause you got up on the high dive by mistake, it’s still ok to get back down.

Name a Rama, Announcements, Prayers,

Respectfully submitted, Wildwing.

WHETSTONE (Q1.8) March 31, 2019 by Dancing Idiot.

A man must be sharpened like a knife blade. Both a man and a knife are made to cut, but neither can be effective until properly honed. A knife is sharpened by a whetstone. While water is used to lubricant the whetstone prior to sharpening, that is not where the “whet” part comes from. To whet actually means to sharpen, like with a man’s appetite and curiosity. In other words, to whet both blade and man is to put on an edge, with a result that is sharp, dynamic, and ready to cut. The unsharpened man is dull and lethargic, in-effective as a leader and I’ll-prepared for the obstacles he will face in his life.

Just as a man’s appetite for pure food must be whetted, so must his appetite for the heavy responsibility that comes with leadership. The HIM acts as the stone to the younger man’s blade, providing the hard surface against which he becomes sharper and whetting his appetite for greater responsibility.

Through the whetstone, the blade receives something he lacked before, a honed edge to his life that he must posses to be effective and have impact on his community. But the stone gets something as well. In fulfilling his natural desire to pour into younger men he accelerates his own pursuit of proper personal alignment.

F3 Message 09/03/19 – From Ron Hutchcraft Ministries

Why you Matter So Much to the People You Know – #7856

Monday, February 20, 2017

“You sit there staring at the phone for forty-five minutes. There’s this girl you really want to ask out, but every time you try to pick up the phone to call her, you freeze. Finally, you realize she probably isn’t going to call you, and the phone isn’t going to call her all by itself. So, you punch in her number. Are you still afraid? Yes. But courage is not the absence of fear; it’s the disregard of it! So here goes! Yes, that actually was my life at one time.

That battle with fear must be exponentially greater when there’s a life-or-death situation where you could make a difference. Like the day a commuter flight crashed on takeoff from the Lexington, Kentucky airport. Fifty passengers; only one survived-the co-pilot. He owes his life to three emergency workers who were there as the flames began to engulf the plane. They said the heat from thousands of gallons of flaming jet fuel was almost overwhelming. There was a lot of reason to be afraid. But they went in anyway. One of the workers put it this way: “We just knew we had to get him out of there.” He’s alive today because they did.

I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Why You Matter So Much to the People You Know.”

If you belong to Jesus Christ, you’ve probably heard sermons about how you’re supposed to “witness” and “share your faith.” Well, research shows that only a small, really small percentage of us Christians ever tell anyone what we know about Jesus Christ. If it’s just “witnessing” or “sharing your faith,” it’s one thing not to do it. If it’s the difference between someone within your reach living or dying, it’s something much bigger. And that’s exactly what it is-life-or-death.

There’s a simple eight-word command in Jude 23. It is our word for today from the Word of God. It captures the urgency of the mission that God has assigned to every believer. Here are your orders and mine: “Snatch others from the fire and save them.” The fire is the awful eternity that awaits anyone you know who doesn’t know your Jesus.

Jesus took the punishment for their sins so they wouldn’t have to, but they have to put their trust in Him. And to do that, they have to understand what Jesus did for them on the cross. And someone’s going to have to tell them about that; someone who knows this Jesus; someone who knows them. You have that information upon which their eternity depends. And because you’re already a part of their life, they’re more likely to listen to you than probably any other Christian on earth.

It’s our fear, isn’t it though, that keeps us from going in for the rescue? What can help you overcome that fear, the fear that’s kept you from telling people you know about your Jesus, maybe over and over again? First, understanding that this really is life-or-death; not just sharing your beliefs with someone.

Without Jesus, the Bible says, they will “be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord” (2 Thessalonians 1:9). He doesn’t want that. He died so that wouldn’t have to happen, but they need to know that.

Secondly, you have to realize that fear always goes with rescue; rescue always means risk. It did for Jesus-it does for you. The fear is real, but it doesn’t have to decide what you do. Listen to the words of the man who went into that burning plane, “We just knew we had to get him out of there.”

That’s what will open your mouth. Deciding that whatever you’re risking to tell them about Jesus, it can’t be anywhere near as terrible as what will happen if you don’t tell them. You can’t just leave them lost. You can’t just let them die without a chance. You’re in a position to rescue them.

This isn’t just witnessing. This isn’t just sharing your faith. It’s rescuing the dying. Thank God you were snatched from the fire. Now it’s your turn to “snatch others from the fire and save them.”

Respectfully Submitted,

Fireplex
