Are You Returning (Mind and Body) to F3?

Leave a comment

During this pandemic and unique period of time in all of our lives I have stayed away from F3 workouts. Honestly it has been a struggle. We are a high-risk family and we’ve had to make some tough decisions. I definitely have missed F3.

Basically I returned to workout groups around a week ago to Minnow Pond and could not finish as injuries set in again. I have fought hard this week to attend a morning workout as much as possible and work around the injuries.

As many of us have been wrapped up in our living quarters a larger percentage of time than pre-coronavirus season, the use of WORDS has been on my mind and heart a lot. We all know that what comes out of your mouth matters . . . but it really, really, really matters  . . . in all relationships you have.

So I’m writing my first ever F3 (Faith) Preblast. I have had the privilege of being a part of F3 The Fort’s Chicken-N-Wisdom on Friday mornings from 6:30-7:10 a.m. on Zoom for several weeks now. It is a warm and inviting group of solid men seeking to grow in their faith led by Atticus.

I want to challenge you over at least the next two weeks to attend my facilitation of a Chicken-N-Wisdom study and discussion on WORDS. I write this because I truly do think that if you put in the time, thought and pray about what you can take away from these two Fridays (7/31/2020 and 8/7) when you join us that you will be blessed – just like you are blessed when you put in the time, thought and energy into getting better physically and mentally through Fitness workouts.

No preparation is needed for these weeks. Just bring an open mind and heart . . . and be on time. You are welcome to read the Bible’s book of James 3:1-12 for context.

I strongly encourage you to alter your Friday workout morning plans at least on 7/31 and 8/7 (finish early or start early or rest your body one day if you went 4 days in a row) or maybe a step further and even consider making it a habit by joining us weekly. We loo forward to seeing you at 6:30 am Friday, 7/31. On Twitter, DM @JonF3Atticus for the password to:

So if you have read this far answer this question: Are You Returning to F3? Which part? What are you missing out on? F1, F2 or F3?

Are You Returning via

Fitness (like me recently overcoming injuries, fear, laziness, the love of eating, . . . well the list goes on)

OR

Fellowship (ya get that with Fitness mornings and Faith mornings at a minimum)

OR

Faith (like Chicken-N-Wisdom and other groups)?

It’s your decision. Don’t hold back. Get off the couch and out of the bed. Make a commitment. Come join us at Chicken-N-Wisdom 6:30 am 7/31.

The Straight Up! commitment to F3TheFort: I will aim over 7/25-8/16 to participate in as many F3 morning workouts that my body, abilities and M allow (to get back at it) and Chkn-N-Wisdoms. Hold me accountable and call me out if you don’t see me.

Straight Up!
