Triangulation Scars

Date: 10/29/19

QIC: Chappie

Those who stayed cozy got lapped! Especially those new young guys. What the what? Get upppp! Sorry, not sorry! Nonetheless a dirty dozen HIM started the week by winning THAT FIRST BATTLE and posting for an ad hoc beatdown by YHC. Doubtfire had to back out of his scheduled Q due to his back being tied in knots. Here’s to a recovery day for our brother and a quick return to the rotation. We have so many on the Q rotation that it sometimes feels like you don’t get to Q enough; that’s a good problem to have. YHC was excited to step in.

Never really JUST a standby, YHC went to the Exicon toolbox, pulled out the Bearmuda Triangle, and used it on the PAX. It lived up to its name…we mysteriously lost a PAX along the way (oh, wait, that was only a modification?). Here’s the skinny on the workout:

Warm-O-Rama:

  • SSH – 18 IC
  • Crab Flippers (Cherry Pickers on Delmarva) – 18 IC
  • Swartz Jacks – 18 IC (Uno, dos, tres, QUATTRO!)
  • Moroccan Night Clubs – 18 IC
  • Merkins – 18 IC

Patriot Run around the block – nice pace!

3rdF Message shared here – Content posted below

The Thang:

THE Bearmuda Triangle – 3 cones set up in a triangle pattern, 90 feet apart. PAX Bearcrawl from cone to cone, adding 1 Burpee at each cone. 3x around the cone triangle = 45 total Burpees

Two 10-counts later, PAX found themselves on the side wall of the church:

  • People’s Chair – 10 Count
  • 5 Mexican Jumping Beans, OYO
  • BTTW – 10 Count
  • 10 Mexican Jumping Beans
  • People’s Chair – 10 Count, 2x
  • 15 Mexican Jumping Beans

The Jack Webb Finale: (Always a crowd pleaser)

  • Ratio: 1 Merkin/4 OH Claps all the way up to 10 Merkins/40 OH Claps
  • Though Leatherman tried to stop us, and stop the pain, we went…a WHOLE 30 secs over :-)’ Nice try brother, nice try!

Count-O-Rama:

  • COT/BOM:
    • Announcements: Nuh’in (at least not that YHC remembers)
    • Prayers: For family of Fireplex’s friend who passed from ALS, Chappie’s nephew (Aaron) who is deployed, for our bro Doubtfire on several different fronts

That was about it. Again, honored by the opportunity to lead. Always enjoy Q’ing. Humbled by it all. Get back soon, Doubtfire.

~Chappie, out!

Scars – 3rdF Content:

The theme of SCARS seems to keep coming up an awful lot in the last few weeks. Scars are often a kind of credential. Each of them has a story.

Kyle Carpenter (MOH recipient) bears some serious scars for jumping on a grenade to save the life of a fellow Marine. He devoted an entire chapter of his book YOU ARE WORTH IT to scars (cf. Ch.13, Don’t Hide Your Scars). In it, he wrote that “scars are a kind of credential”(210). Kyle added this story: “There is a greeter at my local Walmart, an elderly gentleman who always has a cheerful hello for everyone who comes through the door. One day, as I was walking in, he spotted me, flashed his huge grin, and then did finger pistols at me as he playfully asked, ‘Motorcycle wreck?'” I did finger pistols right back at him and replied, ‘Taliban!'”

Later he continued, “I would never encourage anyone to share something they aren’t comfortable sharing. But there are some scars that are so obvious, so apparent, that it is impossible to hide or ignore them. Instead of being ashamed of them, I think there is power in embracing these ‘stories’ that leave their marks on our bodies and souls” (211).

Scars are a kind of credential. They have tremendous power for creating bonds. “Wear them proudly. Wear them for yourself, to honor what you’ve been through. And wear them for others, to connect with them and inspire them to keep on fighting. They reassure others they’re not alone. They give hope that someday, their wounds will become nothing but scars, too” (215).

In 2 Cor. 11, the Apostle Paul shared quite a list of experiences which undoubtedly left him with serious scars. The context of the list was that he was facing off with false teachers who were trying to lead the Corinthians away from the truth. Paul shared the list not to brag about personal experiences, but to express that his heaviest burden of all was for the churches. The best scars are always the ones left from a cause that is bigger than we are! Listen to these verses from 2 Cor. 11:22-29…   

22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.    23 Are they servants of Christ?—I speak as if insane—I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death.     24 Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes.   25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep.     26 I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren;     27 I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.     28 Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.     29 Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?

Had Paul NOT been a true follower of Christ, had he NOT been truly concerned for the church, he would not have experienced (willingly endured) those trials — he would not have borne the scars which those trials inevitably produced — especially the 39 lashes x5! (Btw…that’s 195!).

Scars are a kind of credential. The nail-scarred hands of our Savior are credentials of His unconditional love. Proof that He paid our penalty in the cross. They are further proof that He is alive! Add to that, sometimes some else’s scars remind us we’re living, we’re ALIVE!

This past week you heard about the death of Toby Mac’s (and his wife, Amanda’s) oldest son, Truett, age 21. Toby Mac’s Facebook post was nothing short of phenomenal. In the midst of feeling exceptional pain that will leave exceptional scars, he and his wife, Amanda, were able to inspire others. Here’s how/why: (This is the last paragraph of their post)

Scars in the lives of HIM are a kind of credential. They’re credentials that we ARE unquestionably ALL IN, whether it be in relationship with God, in our families, our churches, our workplaces, or the communities in which we serve. Scars heal and tell a story BECAUSE YOU ARE ALIVE; scars mark you as resilient, tough, and as a survivor! They mark you as a HIM!

That Rucking Deck of Cards

5 PAX beat the fartsack this Gloom for another Gump Ruck beatdown

Warm-o- Rama!

  • 20 SSH IC
  • 15 Hairy Rockets IC
  • Bolt 45 IC

The Thang!!

This beautiful Gloom the PAX came to play a game of cards. Forwarning might have scared a few HIM from braving the suck and attending this GLOOM.

  • We circled up and drew cards (or, well, tapped my random card app on my phone) and we preformed Ruck exercises depending on what card appeared.
  • if we drew and A we did 10 rucking smurf- jacks IC
  • If we drew a diamond we did merkins to the amount shown on the card (face cards were 10) OYO
  • if we drew a heart we did IC flutter kicks with rucks held above our chest
  • if we drew a club we did Ruck pulls (started doing mountain climbers but the act of cinching and uncinching our rucks was a huge hassle and if we didn’t cinch our rucks the Ruck busted the backs of our head) therein, quickly, QIC Gump decided to switch to ruck pulls IC. Also, got off to a rough start but Gump quickly got the hang of it!!
  • If we drew a spade we did Ruck overhead squats IC. (after the bolt 45s this one really felt great by the end!!)
  • Half way thru this agony we did the 3rd F
  • After the 3rd F we continued the horror of drawing cards, to our surprise we seemed to draw the small cards early. We continued draing cards until 5 minues until quitting time

Febreeze

Laying in soft grass (except Wildwing, hes got buns of steal he did these on the Rocks, Hoorah!!) We preformed Febreeze. PAX would complete 2 big Boy situps followed by 10 airlifts (you would be surprised how heavy air is AYE!) we continued the exercise from 2:10, 3:20, 4:30, 5:50(?) on the last rep we lifted our legs 6 inches off the ground as in American hammer style and it proved to be an excellent mary exercise!

COT, prayers for Doubtfires fast healing and chappies army ranger nephew protection while overseas

3rd F- Whole heartedly accepting Gods Plan

Joshua 1:9

9”F3 message started out with Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

QIC Gump shared an experience that happened two years ago. One morning after our family did our morning dedication, the reading was Joshua 1:9. Gump told his family to remember the verse Joshua 1:9 for the day, and reminded that that no matter what happened for the day the the Lord our God would be with us every step of the way and reminded them that sometimes life may throw us curve balls, and sometime things may seem real hopeless and grim, but just remember that Jesus is with us and we should not be afraid of anything that comes our way B/C we belong to the Most High and we are royalty in His eyes and He would never leave us nor forsake us.

The very same day around lunch time while Gump and his construction crew were hanging siding on a new construction home when I received a phone call from a guy wanting us to build a 20, 000 sq ft new construction framing job. I assured the guy I would like to meet him and talk to him about the job, however, I immediately thought in my mind that “this guy has the wrong guy, that job is too big for me”. Upon hanging up with the man I laughed out loud at the hypocrisy running thru my thoughts and thought to myself ” wow you just told your family to be strong and courageous today and the Lord is with you with every step”. Therein, my spirits were immediately lifted at the thought of such a supreme God being with me right where I was standing.

Weeks passed, and about 2 months later I had the opportunity to meet the man at the jobsite where he gave me a set of blueprints for the job, and expressed what he was expecting of me. I left the jobsite starsrtuck at the magnitude of this job, and about halfway between my destinations (about a 1 hour ride total) I happened to glare at the set of blueprints that graced the frontseat of my truck. The blueprints were about 3 ft tall and maybe 100 pages thick. They were enourmous, unlike anything I had ever seen before. My thought that ran thru my head was thi, “This job is too big for me!” The instant that thought finished in my head, the very instant, on the local radio station the Radio DJ says “and todays word of hope comes from Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. I immedeatly started crying in praise to God and shouted in thanks at his reminder that infact, He was, and is continuely right beside me and His plan for mylife is way better than my plan for my life. So it was, “okay Lord here I am, have your way if it wins it wins, if it loses it loses!” What do I have to be afraid of? Gods word reminds us of this “And do not fear those who kill the body buy cannot kill the soul. But rather fewar Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” Matthew 10:28.

The job ended up being a fail monetarily wise. It was an amazing experience so I wont say it was a loss. I often say ” I received my dr. in construction on that job.” But it offered a great learning experience. At one point our small business employed 12 people whom worked 60 hours a week for about 8 weeks. Our weekly payroll was at 13k per week. And at one point I was in charge of 40 people, of which only 13 spoke English fluently. However, God was there in the Midst and for some reason communication was real easy. It was like they could understand my language and I could understand their language. After all is said and done the following year we were pounded from workers Comp and had to pay 7k per month for the insurance for the employees. After doing the math based on previous years I confided in my crew, “guys the only way we are going to get thru this is, if God allows it to happen. But, when we get on the other side we will be better for it”. Well long story short, (haha) we made it thru the storm, and it started with this one thing. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go”. Joshua 1:9 The plan the Lord has for us is totally different than any plan we could come up with for ourselves, not only that but if we were to be told exactly how God is going to work things out in our life’s we wouldn’t even believe it! So there is this notion, our lives are not really our lives but we live in servitude to Him, and he loves us more than we love ourselves and He would never leave us nor forsake us!

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one [a]cubit to his [b]stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not [c]arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6: 25-34

Climb Every Mountain

Posted on Jan 2, 2006 by Robert H Berendt

Robert H Berendt

Pastor, United Church of God

Ambassador grad 1970. Pastor in Canada and Germany retired in 2017. On the Council of UCG-Canada and COE of UCGIA. Wife Valerie is British. Four adult children, 14 grandchildren and 7 great.

Give me mountains to climb and the strength to climb them” was a line I once read. I grew up in the mountains, and although we did not climb in the technical sense of using ropes, pins and other devices, we did spend many hours walking the hills and mountains. The majesty of the peaks makes clear the concept of the grandeur of God the Creator. It is humbling.

Climbing produces many benefits that I’ve found to be helpful: strong legs, building confidence in tackling heights, considering where to place your foot for each step. They are all lessons of good planning and enable the body to become stronger and more physically fit. The sheer exuberance of completing the task makes one want to stand on top of the peak and shout with all of your might.

One of the most important benefits of hiking is pushing yourself beyond what you think are your limits.

In the past, I have taken teenagers and young children for longer hikes in the mountains. I find resistance comes when they get tired and weary. That is normal. One of the most important benefits of hiking is pushing yourself beyond what you think are your limits. Human beings are able to go beyond what they think they can do. The body may be putting a great deal of pressure on the mind to stop, but the mind is able to override the complaints of the body and complete the task. There are lessons learned and character built that will keep you in good stead for a lifetime. One lesson you can learn is knowing when to rest or pause and when to proceed.

The safest place for a ship is a harbor, but ships were not designed for staying in a harbor. You do not become a great sailor by staying in quiet waters. Great sailors learn to be great by facing and conquering the most severe storms and conditions that the sea can give. No one would advocate that a sea captain start his career in the most severe storm. Usually, a person starts out as a helper and assistant. He gains experience during smaller storms and slowly develops the qualities needed to tackle problems with expertise and competence. The same applies to the mountains that we climb in life—whether they are real mountains or the challenges of daily life, physical struggles, emotional or spiritual issues.

A hard trail

Almighty God is very careful about inviting humans to become part of the first fruits and first resurrection. We read in John 6:44 that only God the Father decides whose mind to open. It is not the great of the world that He chooses (1 Corinthians 1:26-27), but those chosen definitely must be able to embark on a hard trail. It is surprising how some seemingly unlikely people have great inner strength. Those chosen will have great rewards that will make the struggle worth every difficult step. It will take all the strength, determination and effort that they are able to put forth along with God’s help to reach the summit. God is a strong helper during all of the struggles, and Jesus Christ intercedes on our behalf.

People who are new to the mountains do not always appreciate the dangers hidden there. They will learn through experience that there is a proper way to climb a mountain.

In Matthew11:12 we are told that forceful men lay hold of the kingdom God offers. Jesus called them “overcomers” in several places in Scripture. The obvious conclusion is that a person will have to look forward and glimpse the wonderful future with such conviction that nothing will deter them from achieving the goal. Hebrews 11 records the suffering of many. In Hebrews 12:3-9 Paul explains that we need to endure hardship as discipline; God is treating us as sons. Hardships are the mountains God has given us to climb. We need to rely on God’s Holy Spirit and use our minds and concentration skills for this daunting task. God will supply what we need, with His only request being that we appreciate what is happening and learn to love His ways. Age and physical abilities are not factors in this spiritual expedition.

Luke 14:28-33 reveals the need to count the cost before embarking on an adventure. We need to know we are able to complete the task. It is certain that no person, by themselves can accomplish this task. They neither know the way nor have the strength. God gives us what we need.

It’s worth the climb

Mountains are climbed one step at a time. There are periods of rest, traversing and planning. Our spiritual mountain gives us similar challenges. In 1 Corinthians 10:13 Paul stated that God only gives us that which we can bear and helps when temptations or hardship come. It is comforting to realize that we are not alone and have a thoughtful Creator who will lift us up.

People who are new to the mountains do not always appreciate the dangers hidden there. They will learn through experience that there is a proper way to climb a mountain. They will find out that the view from the top is breathtaking. This spiritual climb is the only way that leads to eternal life, and it is worth every ounce of expended energy.

It is probably true that most people would rather avoid the strenuous and demanding task of climbing mountains (real or spiritual). Most people avoid pain and suffering. The way God chose for His people is a difficult and narrow path. Jesus Christ felt the loss of many disciples when the way was too difficult (John 6:66). Even His close followers fled in panic when they saw that Jesus was not resisting arrest and torture (Matthew 26:56).

In the end, the reward will be more than worth the struggle. This life is short and full of troubles, whether we choose to follow Jesus Christ or not. This life is physical and temporary. The life we hope for, pray for and suffer for is eternal. God places this hope into the hearts of all people.

Climbing mountains is a great source of joy and satisfaction. How much greater and joyful are God’s mountains when He walks at our side. So then we can pray, “Give me mountains to climb and the strength to climb them.”

Respectfully Submitted,

Fireplex

Back Blast: F3 Harrisburg, PA 10-26-19: The 3300!

BACKBLAST: 10/26/19

Reservoir Park, Harrisburg PA

Saturday, 7:00 AM, 1 PAX HK Hershey Kiss

Here is how it went down: The 3300!

WARM UP:

High knees – 20ic

Butt Kickers – 20ic

Hip gate swing, open – 10 ic

Hip gate swing, close – 10 ic

Arm circles large forward x 10 ic

Arm circles large backwards x 10 ic

Arm circles small forward x 10 ic

Arm circles small backwards x 10 ic

Motivator 10-1

THE THANG: The 3300!

Mosey moderate to high pace – 1100 meters

Pull-Ups – 100 strict (no swing, no kip)

Mosey moderate to high pace – 1100 meters

Merkins – 200 strict (no snaking back/body; lock elbows)

Mosey moderate to high pace – 1100 meters

Total Meters Mosied: 3300

Total Strict Strength Reps: 300

Originally we were hoping to join F3 Lanco in solidarity by doing their partner/coupon 2-year manniversary workout here in Harrisburg while the other PAX were working their tails off in Lanco. Due to illness, athletic away meets, and other factors, several PAX were unable to post and a partner workout was not possible.

In solidarity with our F3 Lanco brothers, I had to get the work in and get after it with some of the exercises that are toughest for a 240 lbs. “husky” man like myself: running, / fast mosey, strict pull-ups, and strict Merkins.

The 3300 meters of mosies – I mostly blocked these out of my mind; just head down, breathe, and grind. According to google maps, 1100 m is the distance on-foot from the middle of the parking lot, to the columns at the other end of Reservoir, back to the 5 flights of stairs, up to the pavilion, and back down and around to the middle of the parking lot

The 100 pull-ups – Started with a few sets of 5 strict in a row. These quickly deteriorated into strict sets of 3 + 2 (drop to ground & 1 deep breath in-between), followed by about 70-80 single, strict reps. Strict, slow, and steady. The tortoise wins every time I read the book.

The 200 Merkins – Started with sets of 10. Around 70 reps, started to feel the bodyweight. Then sets of 4 + 3 + 3 (3 deep breaths in between) until all 200 were done. Again, strict, slow, and steady.

3300 meters & 300 reps, done!

Handed out some flyers, invited some park patrons to join next week, and even jumped the vehicle engine for a potential FNG across the street from the parking area on my way out.

I hope my sweat (and tears???) approached the level of those among our brothers in Lanco.

In solidarity!

F3Lanco 2 Year Anniversary

2 years ago, I (Sunspot) moved to Lancaster, PA from F3NWInd. Upon moving here, I couldn’t NOT have F3 in my life. We closed on our house and 3 weeks later we had our first workout at Rapho Park. Two unknowing guys joined me, one of which (Inspector), has been here ever since. He rarely misses even with lack of sleep because of a new baby or when he isn’t feeling well. He posts to help be an encouragement to others to post regardless of what is going on. Since that weekend, we have seen a lot of PAX come and go, but we have all became stronger together. We can’t do this on our own, and as a brotherhood, we help each other be better than we were yesterday with each and every workout.

MOLESKIN:

Whew, what a WO and you MEN pushed hard today. This was not easy by any means, but you all worked together to ensure we got the job done. We never left the lone PAX (extra cinderblock) behind. Don’t forget that! We leave NO MAN BEHIND! Keep talking with your brothers about F3 and the #IMPACT it has made on your life as we all know that lone cinderblock out there that needs F3.

It’s always a pleasure to lead you #HIM of F3 and thanks for following my lead today brothers!

Until next time, Sunspot OUT!
