The Cavin: The February Running of The Hero

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: 58 degrees

FNGs: None

Every month the men of Seismic gather to run the Hero, the AO’s monthly endurance test, in honor of a hero to one of the PAX. This month, we honored Wes Cavin, a hero of Pretzel.

Wes is someone Pretzel met while in college, and while they don’t see each other much anymore, Pretzel still considers him a close friend. More importantly, Wes was someone who was roughly Pretzel’s age who set an example of what it means to be a man, a husband, and a father. He may not even know the influence he has had on Pretzel’s life.

Devo:  Exodus 32 tells us about the Israelites rebellion in making a golden calf to worship. Aaron, Moses’s brother, crafts it out of melted gold. When Moses returns and questions Aaron about his actions, Aaron tells him that he put the gold into the fire and the calf just popped out.

While we find this explanation humorous, it does remind us of the serious issue of rationalizing the truth of our own sin and misbehavior. The moral of the story today is to own your shortcomings and wrong doings. Make amends and move forward.

Moleskin:  Some great work today! Milton and Pretzel led the pack. Good Times and Schrute each d
