Moleskin: I wanted to bring a high energy, no frills workout to the pax, and I think I accomplished my goal.  A rare Bedrock BC without much mumble chatter, as I think we were all too tired to talk much.  This was a workout to challenge yourself, as you got out of it what you put into it, and I think we all challenged ourselves well.  I asked everyone to keep moving, and I rarely saw anyone ‘taking a break’.  Nice work by all.

New Day

Light is sweet; how pleasant to see a new day dawning. (NLT) ( Ecclesiastes 11:7  )

 

When was the last time you had the chance to see the sunrise? It’s breathtaking watching the light slowly take shape at the start of a new day.  It’s a simple reminder that each day has the potential for so much beauty.  Today is a new, glorious day! Take the chance to create beautiful things on this new day.

Moleskin:   As of Tuesday night we didn’t have a Q lined up for this morning.  YHC put a post out about needing someone to sign up and Mad Dog quickly responded that he could throw something together.  Boo ya!!  Freed to Leed.  My man must have been thinking of this one for a long time.  Within a couple hours he had sent me his plan and was ready to execute.  Simple in explanation but the suck on this one was real.  Mumble chatter was heavy as usual at Bedrock but our guy Mad Dog rolled with the punches.  Great work my dude and I look forward to your next one!!

Carefree

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. (NLT) ( 1 Peter 5:7  )

 

Are you allowing lies to define who you are? Do you live each day believing the lie that you are unloved, unworthy or unforgiven? God invites us to cast these lies, cares, weights aside! God desires us to live life carefree. To live our days secure in the knowledge that we are His loved ones.

Moleskin:   Had to adapt on the fly this morning.  Had a completely different idea on tap and had computer issues the night before that hindered it.  Back up and punt.  Defib joked that when I back up and punt I just come up with the same exercises over and over so I can remember them.  I mean maybe he’s not wrong.  In total we did 50 burpees, 150 tri cep extension, 150 curls, and 150 chest presses.  Great work and thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Devo:

Be Strong

So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (NLT) ( Deuteronomy 31:6 )

 

Strength with Jesus looks different than the strength the world celebrates.  When we are strong in the Lord we assume a posture of humility; inwardly recognizing that we can be confident because we have been gifted access to God’s power.  The world cheers on human will power, success, and an “I can do it if I just try hard enough” mentality. Let’s be strong in the Lord, resting in the knowledge of His power, not our own.

Moleskin:   Had some first timers out  for the September running of the Cardiac.  Mad Dog, Myrtle, Bob the Builder and Pony all saddled up for their first attempt at The Cardiac.  Strong work by all.  Defib led the pack with 13 rounds today. I am not sure anyone is surprised though.

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

Conditions: Warm and Muggy, but a little better than some recent days. Due to some lighting issues at the dog park area we normally meet at, I made the call to move the flag and workout out by the entrance near the big baseballs.

-Roundabout 11s (instead of running back and forth, we run around the traffic oval, doing one exercise at one end, and the other exercise at the other end): The exercises were burpees & jump squats…got close to completion, but I moved on from this when most people were not quite complete with their reps.
-Slow mosey back to the small wall.

Pledge and COT

Announcements: LQ at Miler for Underhand tonight

Devo: When stressed out, make sure to find a healthy outlet (such as a 5am beatdown)…don’t take it out on your family, friends, coworkers.

Moleskin: To answer the question in the headline, no, Waldo isn’t afraid of the dark.  Now I understand that Wescott is called the Country Club for a reason…our work-out conditions and facility are pretty nice, and one thing that I take for granted is the lighting we have.  When I showed up to find that lights were completely out in the back half of the park, I realized that the workout I had planned would probably be a little rough in the dark (especially without headlamps) given that we would have been running back and forth and in proximity to blocks on the ground.  So I decided we should move to the end of the park that had lights and set-up shop there.  We got set up just in time to start, and I had to come up with a workout on the fly…so I incorporated some of the stuff I already had planned, and combined it with some things I’ve done in the past.  I wanted cardio and leg work, and I think we accomplished that.

Restore

He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (NLT) ( Psalms 23:3 )

 

We tend to become sad or frustrated when we receive bad news. Always remember that God wants us to appreciate life even when we’re going through tough situations. Next time you’re in one of those situations, whether a family member is sick, you’re out of work, or things just aren’t falling into place, remember that God has a bigger plan for you.

Moleskin:   Mumble Chatter was low this morning.  It was humid and just plain hot.  However, we did find out that Rizzo is a monster.  The dude says he did 11 rounds.  He is not telling the truth.  He did either 12 or 13.  I know he was more than 2 ahead of me.  We also found out that Dri Prime apologizes to Rizzo when the AC temp gets adjusted because he is afraid of him (they are roomates).   It’s understandable.  Great work Rizzo.  Good push by everyone there this morning.  It wasn’t easy.
