Thankful Advent gives us opportunity to reflect on promises fulfilled and also look toward yet to come.  Our hope is not in princes but the One who is truly unshakable regardless of circumstance.

Always an honor to lead.

Two Much Coffee

PAX: Boone’s Farm, Penny Loafers, Nurse Ratched, Hugs Not Drugs, Toga (QIC)

Gloom Factor: 70 and Sunny

Five fought off the signs of a chilly, blustery morning to get a little better in the gloom.  Here’s how it went down:

Mosey to BHS track for warmarama then head to the goal line for THE BEAST with tiny animal interludes.  It went like this:

  • Complete 6 merkins at the 25, 50, 25, touch the goal line and repeat on the way back. Broadjumps/Kangaroo hops back and forth in the end zone 4x
  • Round 2= Jump Squats and Bear crawls 4x
  • Round 3= WWII and duck walks 4x
  • Round 4= Something and gorilla walks 4x
  • Round 5= Lunges and Inch Worm merkins 4x
  • Round 6= burpees

Indigenous People’s Run back to the flag and Mary till time expired.

Announcements and Prayer Concerns:

  • Kids and teachers finishing out the first half
  • Nurse’s coworker’s father having brain surgery
  • YHC is stepping down as AOQ and we are entering the dawn of the Boone’s Farm regime.  Long live the AOG!

NMM:  It’s good to know that the PAX reads Slack prior to arrival.  Everyone brought coffee mugs and Boone’s even thought YHC was signaling him to bring coffee.  Which resulted in 2 carafes of coffee floating around.  Good problems to have!

Stay Classy,

Toga

Mosey back to parking lot for COT

Thank you for the love today, men.  This F3 community has been the foundation of the best relationships I have formed since moving here  3 1/2 years ago.  I have been witness to this community rallying around each other at every turn and this week it was me and my family that have needed the prayers and support.  And of course F3 Nashville delivers.  Your prayers have carried us these past four days, and I am grateful.  Please be on watch for anyone you know that you think may be struggling with mental health issues.  For my brother it was mental health and alcoholism that overtook him, but maybe we can reach out to someone who we know may be struggling and just love on them.  Who knows, it may be just what they need to be encouraged to keep going.  From the bottom of my heart, I remain grateful to each of you brothers.

Much Love & Peace – Umbrella
