Then we took a nice mosey back to the AO for a short round of mary.

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.
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.

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.”

3rd F was short and sweet a quote by Teddy Roosevelt taken from the book Pale horse that I am reading
( There is little use for the being whose tepid soul knows nothing of great and generous emotion, of high pride, the stern belief, the lofty enthusiasm, of men who quell the storm and ride the thunder.
I believe this quote fits right in with F3 with the storm being beating the fartsack in the gloom and we ride the thunder of the Qs beatdowns when we post

F3 Message 08/13/19 – Calming the Storm with Him Always Watching Your Six
Life is a journey of many trials and tribulations that shape and molds us into the person that we are or that we are to become. As men, we try and we do find some success in handling many of the smaller life issues on our own. Sometimes we develop an attitude that we can handle all or most things on our own. That is until the raging storm comes that is completely out of our control. We give everything we have on our own and we still aren’t handsome enough, young enough, wealthy enough, smart enough, or strong enough to overcome whatever situation that we may be going through. We don’t understand why God allows these storms to come, but we gotta trust and believe and have faith that God has a purpose that is far beyond our understanding. We have to remain steadfast in our faith and Let Go and Let God calm the storms of life that we encounter. He always has our “Six”. Allow Him to restore us to where He would have us to be, not where we think we should be. Faith as defined by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website is as follows –“ In the Bible, “faith” means believing in God, and in what Christ has done for us to make our salvation possible–and then committing ourselves to Him. In other words, faith has two parts to it, and both are equally important. The first part is belief–belief that God exists, and that He loves us and sent His son into the world to save us. Faith isn’t a vague hope that God might exist; it is a definite belief that what the Bible says about Him is true. The second part of faith is commitment–a definite decision not only to believe in our minds that Christ can save us, but to put our lives into His hands and trust Him alone for our salvation. True faith not only believes Christ can save us, but actually trusts Him to do it.”
God did not intend for our faith in Him to only be present in the best of times. He wants us to trust Him with all that we are even when we are facing the fiercest storm or the strongest adversary. He has our “Six”
Joshua 1:9 New King James Version (NKJV)
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.”
2 Corinthians 4:8-10 New King James version (NKJV)
8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
Psalms 107:28-31 New King James Version (NKJV)
28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses. 29 He calms the storm, So that its waves are still. 30 Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. 31 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalms 9:9-10 New King James Version (NKJV)
9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You
As defined by the non profit organization “Got Your Six” and gleaned from their website.
“In the military, “got your six” means “I’ve got your back.” The saying originated with World War I fighter pilots referencing the rear of an airplane as the six o’clock position. If you picture yourself at the center of a clock face, the area directly in front of you is twelve o’clock. Six o’clock is what lies behind you. On a battlefield, your “six” is the most vulnerable. So, when someone tells you that they’ve “got your six,” it means they’re watching your back. By extension, that person expects you to have their back as well. “Got your six” is now a ubiquitous term in the military that also highlights the way military members look out for each other.”
Isaiah 58:8 New King James Version (NKJV)
8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
PAX Circled up for Hurricane HoeDown! 7 Hallelujah flutterkicks, 7 slightly reclined flutterkicks, 7 regular flutterkicks, and 7 LBC flutterkicks. The PAX then did 6 of eack, then 5,4,3,2, and held flutterkicks during the last set..
PAX circled up for F3 message from Colossians 3:
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.
