Devo: Failure is an option, its only way we grow and learn. Forgo the old adage of “If money and resources were not a concern what would you do for a living?” YHC knows he would become stagnate, instead ask yourself “If I could learn from any failure and not be defeated what would I choose to do?” Mr Feeney added that we need to have a growth mindset for learning and not categorize ourselves based on what we have been told our entire lives. Friar Tuck: How do you get back up? Outhouse: Thomas Edison learned a thousands ways how not to make the lightbulb.

Moleskin: It has been a pleasure to establish and help grow The Den from its inception. Today the shovel was handed off to Mr Feeney as the new AOQ. I know without a doubt his leadership will continue the growth and invigoration of male leadership throughout our community.

Moleskin:

The FNG earned his name Splash Gordon after taking off from the workout during burpees for the train x12 for some “water.” Later after BOM he graciously stepped away during devo to splash Merlot. Hence the name Splash Gordon. 14 Men stayed after for Q school with Muscadine for which I was reprimanded for providing a more accurate count prior so there would be enough Q packets. Way to show off gentlemen and step up to be future leaders with F3 and your community. Please continue to out perform all expectations. Please remember it is ok to Q the Q, we all need to learn how to manage constructive criticism.

Pledge of Allegiance:

BOM: (Prayer)
Praying for Freedom Men’s Hikers and their work schedules, praying for the P200 teams and their safety

Devo:
2 Timothy 4:6-7 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

Devote yourself to the service of God and continue to push yourself when life gets difficult. Surround yourself with others that will lift you up and tell you the hard truth. Find your pace in life and partner with someone for accountability. Continue to grow, because no one can just show up with no training expect to be the fastest.

Moleskin:
The second half of the pyramid should have included a second set of 800m, 400, and 200m sprints for a total of 5.5 miles. However it wasn’t a shabby 5.5k with an average 8:40 min/mile when breaks were removed from the equation. Our FNG BJB attempted to be sincere, but our minds drifted to BBQ upon the mention of his name Melvin. So welcome Big Joe Bessingers, BJB!

Pledge of Allegiance:

BOM: (Prayer)

Devo:

Moleskin:
A heavy hand is not necessary to be productive or efficient. This lesson was applied in the workout by not using anything “heavy” to lift but using dynamically challenging movements. This requires more effort to control just as we are to have self control in our words and actions. When confronted with bad behavior from our children or attitude from our spouse we should rise above the use of a heavy hand. When I use a harsh tone, yelling or a knee jerk punishment it feeds the behavior I am trying to correct and in turn creates a never-ending cycle of bad decisions. Love and Mercy win the day.
