Men,

As the new year comes in its always a good time to take inventory and check where we are with our plans in all areas. Sometimes this makes us realize we don’t even have a plan in some areas.

Just like our bodies needing a schedule and a workout in order to get better, we can’t expect our Finances to change or get better on their own. Its time to look at every dollar and make sure it has a name. Even if you think you have it all together when it comes to the money game, there is always room for improvement.

Starting in January, I Cake Boss, will be facilitating Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University (FPU). I have taken the course and facilitated it in my past and can tell you it changed my life. Again, even if you are in a good place, this is open to everyone. Men, Couples, Singles, College age or whomever needs it, so please refer others to this course.

The course is 9 weeks and about 60-90 minutes 1 night per week. It goes fast but is very full of great information. I encourage couples to attend together because if you are both on the same page it makes life easier, but is not required. Class will be at Forest Hill Church Fort Mill, but is open to everyone and not limited to church congregation. There is a cost, but again this is one time and full of valuable resources. Don’t let cost of class stop you from attending…talk to me! Please review the preview video and let me know if you have any questions.

PAX,

The Joe Davis Run for Recovery is an F3 must post event as it is a great 1st F event but it is in our own backyard, The Fort, and it brings awareness to the cause!

1st F – Sign up for the Race ASAP –

• http://f3nation.com/2016/10/13/2017-joe-davis-run-for-recovery-5k10k-pre-blast/
• https://joedavisrun.racesonline.com/register
• Post at 0700 for Warm up with OLD BAY at the Playground (Look for F3 Flag)
• Run Race – 5k or 10k

2nd F – We have had 100 PAX involved in this event and families as well so the fellowship before and after the race is always memorable and makes you realize what makes F3 great

• Post at Coffeeteria (families invited) 0900-1000 for Hot Coffee and Hot Chocolate

3rd F – Participating in this event goes beyond a good 10k time. It shows there is something more then ourselves. It shows the solid bond within F3 to support our fellow brothers. It shows that we all struggle with something but we know our brothers in the COT will always help make us better.

Any Questions let me know! Cake Boss

Conditions were wet/no-rain and unseasonable warm at 68 degrees on the last day of November

Disclaimer

Warmup-O-Rama = all my favorites in ten counts in cadence

line up 3 cones in a “bermuda style” triangle

Divide group by ages – 1st cone = CDD, 2nd cone = LBC, 3rd Cone = Mountain Climbers and burpee broad jump between cones 2 and 3 (crowd pleaser)

Form up for quick chat about “the snare to compare”

Count off by threes

Each platoon would call their own cadence for merkins at each cone with running between cones, followed by a very wide variety of #ABLAB at each cone with running to each cone in between…started to feel like we dried the entire parking lot…with our shirts and shorts.

circle up for 3 VQ to call a round of cadence (Andretti, Whopper, and Mr.T)

Out of time

Packer/Eagles burpee score settle

COT / Prayer or Praise / BOM

Naked Man:

Today’s sermon was on comparison. David Chadwick calls it “the snare to compare”, as you start to covet others gifts/goods you devalue what God has already blessed you with. This is a time of year with parties, Christmas, and gifts when most men just feel financially overwhelmed and quickly fall into this snare. As we discussed this morning your kids see your behaviors, and if you are never satisfied with your possessions, why would you ever think your kids will enjoy a gift or present. Witch Hunt said it best this morning, that we need to enjoy the little moments in life. The details that others look past are where #HIM can find great glory and satisfaction with our relationships. This is a complicated subject, find me at the next workout to have a “real” discussion.

Be a better man today than you were yesterday,
AYE!
CSPAN

10 Pax unwittingly posted to Quagmire for a moderate 4 day weekend following workout.  Start with the usual low impact warm ups.  Mosey to the restaurant lot, overheard special request for Balls to the Wall(ignored momentarily).  Circle up for … wait for it… Bear Crawl Ring of Fire!  Bear crawl in a circle until I decide we need a break, such break consists of plank in said circle as each Pax takes his turn with 5 merkins.  Resume bear crawl, take a “break”, merkins, resume bear crawl…you get the idea.  Once the whining became un”bear”able, split the Pax in half for Dora.  One group runs a lap, others engage in exercise.

curb derkins, merkins. low country crab, peter parker, parker peter, LBC, I think I’ve forgotten at least half of them

As with any rock star you have to give the crowd what they want, so off to the wall for a quick inverted ball-walk.  Almost time for COT but we stop a little short for the “Highway of Pain”(totally just made that up).  Bear crawl as far as you physically can, then lunge walk until you think your arms may work again and go back to bearcrawl to COT.  Prayers for injured and travelers, Royale led us out beautifully as always!
