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!!

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

Bruce Lee @ Beebe [Mini]

DATE: 8/21/19

QIC: Chappiesan

Primis drew 5 HIM out of the Fartsack on Wednesday for a “tentative” workout. What that means is that there was enough lightning flashing across the sky to bring doubt as to whether a workout would be in the PAX’ best interest. Flashes pretty well subsided by go time, and having left all kites and keys in the clown cars, PAX ventured into Hump day the best way known…untouched by lightning and with an O-Gawd-Thirty beatdown session that went a little something like this:

Disclaimer proclaimed.

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • SSMedley: SSH, 10 IC – Swartzjacks, 10 IC – Sealjacks, 10 IC (smooth transitions from one to the other…til we hit the SJ’s)
  • Crab Flippers: 18 IC
  • Prisoner Squats: 18 IC
  • Groiners (Real ones, Doubtfire, real ones!): 18 IC

Mosey to Beebe Hospital Parking Garage – more like “Mosey Plus” with the following mosey additions along the way:

  • Nur
  • Karaoke, switch
  • First State Fanny Kickers
  • Side Shuffle, switch
  • Mosey
  • Stair Climb in the “Hot box” to 4th deck of the Parking Garage (How have we missed these glorious leg killin’ steps all this time?)
  • RR Tracks to the 5th level
  • Quick Nur to the very top

After a brief visit by hospital security (and an unsuccessful EH because, well, we know where he’s at on Wednesdays at this hour), Pax took a quick breather for the 3rdF:

If you’ve been to any of my Q’s over the last few years, you know that I’ve usually done 18-counts, or 18 reps. I’ve mentioned as well there’s a reason for that. Today I’ll end the mystery or anticipation: Really, what I’m sharing today is about making Sky-Q your Soul-Q.

SkyQ def from the Lexicon: “The Q of the Big Ball and the Super Unknown. Recognized by those who do not believe themselves to be King of the world. The Creator.” (i.e. God/Christ the King)

When Jesus said in John 17:1 “The hour has come” He was referring to His impending death, a death for which the Son of the Living God needed to steel Himself (remember Sua sponte? Remember His presence? Remember finishing strong? There’s only one way to finish strong, and that’s to be in the race!).

As Jesus gathered His thoughts in preparation for His coming ordeal, however, it was life, not death, that first came into focus. In the 3rd verse He would go on to say, “This is life eternal, that they might KNOW Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.”

Here’s my point. It has to do with a four-letter word (Bombjacks? Nope!). If life is knowing God, then death is ignorance of God. But “K-N-O-W” in biblical language means not so much information about, as RELATIONSHIP with (something Toy Soldier referred to on Tuesday).

In this sense we have to understand the Savior’s definition of life: Life is knowing God; death is ignorance of God. Life is fellowship with God; death, alienation from God. Life is friendship with God; death, enmity against God. Life is union with God; death, separation from God.

The essence of death then is not the cessation of bodily functions; that is merely a symptom of alienation from the Source of life; so it has been since our sin first separated us from God in the Garden. For that reason, Rom. 6:23 says that “the wages of sin is death.” Those who do not K-N-O-W the Father through faith in the Son–who have not received the forgiveness of sin Christ died to purchase–are literally dead even while they live. (Ephesians. 2:1 “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins.”) There Paul was speaking to people about their state of being prior to their relationship with God through faith in Christ. He was talking to living people, but declared to them that they were dead.

You may K-N-O-W alot about God. You may have even grown up in the church, or you might have gone to church your whole life. But that doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to McD’s makes you a hamburger. Only knowing alot ABOUT God puts you about 18″ from heaven, if you haven’t personally received the forgiveness of your sin through faith in the Son. 18″ is about the distance from your head to your heart! That’s the difference between speaking of SkyQ and personally KNOWING Soul-Q, the difference between heaven and hell.

So this morning, in this Q I tell you the significance of “18” and I want to ask if you simply know about Jesus, or if you K-N-O-W Jesus. 18″!

ALBERT EINSTEIN – I too know who I am; what I don’t know is where I am going. “

Confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved…” Rom. 10:9

THE THANG: BRUCE LEE @ BEEBE:

6 Ab exercises:

  • AH – 18
  • Leg Raises – 18
  • LBC’s – 18
  • Dying CR’s – 18
  • Heel Touches – 18
  • Dolly – 18
  • 36 secs rest (9 count x 4), Rinse & Repeat

PAX did the mini (2 rounds) because of time, Bruce was said to have done 9 rounds.

Mosey return to the AO, with a few bonuses:

  • I.e. a few Prison Breaks between cross streets.
  • Stop at the dock for some “Donuts & Coffee” – On your 6, feet hanging over the edge, make 18 big “O’s” (donuts) to the left, 18 big “O’s” to the right. Word on the street is that Gump dunked his donuts (feet) in the coffee (water)

COT/BOM:

  • Announcements: Recon in Milford, CHOP open at the same time; Annual Labor Day Beach Day Beatdown, Rehoboth Beach – details TBD.
  • Prayers: Maddex, Leatherman’s 2.0 and for the complete healing of his hand and fingers, especially his pinky finger; Gump and decision concerning opportunity to serve at his church; etc.

Honored to Q it up at the Primis. Love that parking garage! 2 for Coffeeteria afterward at…Dunkin Donuts. Where else, right? (Thanks for the subliminal messages Summit.) Always appreciate the conversation with Wildwing.

ReeeCon!

QIC: All PAX, pass the baton recon workout

4 PAX posted at the library in Milford for a recon at O-Gawd-Thirty this Gloom. Actually, it was the same time as usual, O-Gawd-Fifteen.

Here’s a first for F3 First State: We had 2 workouts going on at the same time–one at CHOP and one at Milford, DE. THAT IS COOL! After all, our mission is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups of men for the invigoration of male community leadership.

HOLLOW POINT TIP (killa tip): Make the sacrifice, win that first battle over the Fartsack, and post (especially on Thursdays) to support CHOP and keep the numbers up since a core group has parted off to recon and launch this a new AO in Milford. After all, our mission is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups of men for the invigoration of male community leadership.

YHC isn’t going to pretend to remember all that we did this morning. BUT, he will say this: We discovered an F3 gold mine, even though we barely scratched the surface with the amphitheater, steps, walls, steps, parking lots, steps, fields, elevation changes, many other features, and, oh, YHC can’t forget to mention steps. Seriously men, this place is a gold mine!

Get the word out if you know a Sadclown in or near Milford…after all, our mission is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups of men for the invigoration of male community leadership. Recon is happening again next Thursday, Aug. 22 and the official launch will follow on Aug. 29th!

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)

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)

We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 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)

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)

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.

Respectfully Submitted,

Bovine/Gump VQ Scissor board abs

Gump VQ 8/8/19

Bovine VQ warmup- 20 SSH, 20 morocan nightclub, 20 cherri pickers, 20 windmills.

The Thang:

20 Slaughter Starters a.k.a 20 Burpees to go!!

Mosey 1/3 mile and meet back at AO

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.

After our short break we started Baatan death march aka burpee catch me if you can: PAX mosied while the last man in the like did 5 Burpees. After the 5 burpees he ran to catch up to the front of the line while the last man dropped back and did 5 burpees. it took us 2 laps to get thru the group

Bear Crawl Merkin Inchworm.

Pax broke up into 2 groups. Both groups formed a line head to toe in the Plank position while 1st man did bear crawl merkins to the front of the line. Once he reached the front of line the HIM that was now at the back of the line did the same. Until everyone in line got a turn.

We finished the gloom back in a circle doing Baycity Scissors. 8 count scissor kicks until 0600 we ended with COT.
