Warm Up: SSH 25x, Cherry Picker 25x, Mountain Climber 25x, Bobby Hurley 25x, Moroccan Night Club 25x
The Thang: Great Britain is in a self inflicted constitutional crisis because of Brexit, the ongoing effort to implement the results of a very close 2017 referendum where citizens decided to jump out of the European Union without knowing what it would cost and what the consequences might be. For two years, politicians have struggled to reach a deal with the EU that Parliament would approve. Two Prime Ministers have resigned after failing to reach an acceptable deal and the new PM’s plans were rejected by Parliament this week. Our PAX decided to work it all out this morning and each HIM / Member of Parliament could vote to (1) leave EU, (2) call for new referendum, or (3) stay in EU. The workout was wrapped around 6 key Brexit moments as follows:
(1) PM May to Brusels – Gets Compromise Deal: MPs do overhead cinder block presses and cinder block Lt. Dan’s.
(2) Parliament Rejects May Compromise Deal: MPs in two groups – one on wall doing block squats and the other doing 40 seconds of SSH, Squats, and Bobby Hurleys followed by 20 second rest period. Group run around block.
(3) Boris Replaces May – Promises Complete EU Withdrawal: MP groups change roles. Group run with 30 – 60 – 90 acceleration run.
(4) Coalition Forms – No EU withdrawal without Parliament ok: MPs in two groups – one doing merkins, derkins, and block presses. Other group does 40 second LBC, American Hammers, and Big Boys. Twenty second rest after each.
(5) Boris Purges Party of Unfaithful Pro EU Conservatives: MP groups switch assignments.
(6) (Proud) Queen Mary Elizabeth Tells MPs to Grow Up and Resolve It: During Circle of Pain, MPs issue Brexit votes —— 3 for Immediate EU exit, 2 for new referendum, 3 for staying in EU.
F3 MESSAGE: (1). Before you vote, know what you are voting for. (2). Don’t let little things in politics (work, life, family) become constitutional crises. (3). Just cause you got up on the high dive by mistake, it’s still ok to get back down.

WHETSTONE (Q1.8) March 31, 2019 by Dancing Idiot.
A man must be sharpened like a knife blade. Both a man and a knife are made to cut, but neither can be effective until properly honed. A knife is sharpened by a whetstone. While water is used to lubricant the whetstone prior to sharpening, that is not where the “whet” part comes from. To whet actually means to sharpen, like with a man’s appetite and curiosity. In other words, to whet both blade and man is to put on an edge, with a result that is sharp, dynamic, and ready to cut. The unsharpened man is dull and lethargic, in-effective as a leader and I’ll-prepared for the obstacles he will face in his life.
Just as a man’s appetite for pure food must be whetted, so must his appetite for the heavy responsibility that comes with leadership. The HIM acts as the stone to the younger man’s blade, providing the hard surface against which he becomes sharper and whetting his appetite for greater responsibility.
Through the whetstone, the blade receives something he lacked before, a honed edge to his life that he must posses to be effective and have impact on his community. But the stone gets something as well. In fulfilling his natural desire to pour into younger men he accelerates his own pursuit of proper personal alignment.

F3 Message 09/03/19 – From Ron Hutchcraft Ministries
Why you Matter So Much to the People You Know – #7856
Monday, February 20, 2017
“You sit there staring at the phone for forty-five minutes. There’s this girl you really want to ask out, but every time you try to pick up the phone to call her, you freeze. Finally, you realize she probably isn’t going to call you, and the phone isn’t going to call her all by itself. So, you punch in her number. Are you still afraid? Yes. But courage is not the absence of fear; it’s the disregard of it! So here goes! Yes, that actually was my life at one time.
That
battle with fear must be exponentially greater when there’s a life-or-death
situation where you could make a difference. Like the day a commuter flight
crashed on takeoff from the Lexington, Kentucky airport. Fifty passengers; only
one survived-the co-pilot. He owes his life to three emergency workers who were
there as the flames began to engulf the plane. They said the heat from
thousands of gallons of flaming jet fuel was almost overwhelming. There was a
lot of reason to be afraid. But they went in anyway. One of the workers put it
this way: “We just knew we had to get him out of there.” He’s alive
today because they did.
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Why You
Matter So Much to the People You Know.”
If
you belong to Jesus Christ, you’ve probably heard sermons about how you’re
supposed to “witness” and “share your faith.” Well,
research shows that only a small, really small percentage of us Christians ever
tell anyone what we know about Jesus Christ. If it’s just
“witnessing” or “sharing your faith,” it’s one thing not to
do it. If it’s the difference between someone within your reach living or
dying, it’s something much bigger. And that’s exactly what it is-life-or-death.
There’s
a simple eight-word command in Jude
23.
It is our word for today from the Word of God. It captures the urgency of the
mission that God has assigned to every believer. Here are your orders and mine:
“Snatch others from the fire and save them.” The fire is the awful
eternity that awaits anyone you know who doesn’t know your Jesus.
Jesus
took the punishment for their sins so they wouldn’t have to, but they have to
put their trust in Him. And to do that, they have to understand what Jesus did
for them on the cross. And someone’s going to have to tell them about that;
someone who knows this Jesus; someone who knows them. You have that information
upon which their eternity depends. And because you’re already a part of their life,
they’re more likely to listen to you than probably any other Christian on
earth.
It’s our fear, isn’t it though, that keeps us from going in for the rescue?
What can help you overcome that fear, the fear that’s kept you from telling
people you know about your Jesus, maybe over and over again? First,
understanding that this really is life-or-death; not just sharing your beliefs
with someone.
Without
Jesus, the Bible says, they will “be punished with everlasting destruction
and shut out from the presence of the Lord” (2 Thessalonians 1:9). He doesn’t want
that. He died so that wouldn’t have to happen, but they need to know that.
Secondly,
you have to realize that fear always goes with rescue; rescue always means
risk. It did for Jesus-it does for you. The fear is real, but it doesn’t have
to decide what you do. Listen to the words of the man who went into that burning
plane, “We just knew we had to get him out of there.”
That’s
what will open your mouth. Deciding that whatever you’re risking to tell them
about Jesus, it can’t be anywhere near as terrible as what will happen if you
don’t tell them. You can’t just leave them lost. You can’t just let them die
without a chance. You’re in a position to rescue them.
This isn’t just witnessing. This isn’t just sharing your faith. It’s rescuing the dying. Thank God you were snatched from the fire. Now it’s your turn to “snatch others from the fire and save them.”

Short mosey to baseball diamond followed by the Cooper routine:
PAX moseyed around perimeter of baseball field ( not baseball diamond)
Once we reached home plate we did 10 burpees, 10 squats, 10 merkins, and 10 Big boys, followed by another lap around baseball field only to do 9 of each, rince and repeat until we passed 5 burpees, 5 squats, 5 merkins, and 5 Big boys where we read the F3 Message.
John 15 1-17:
John 15 1-17 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another.
After a short Bible message we continued the Cooper routine until all PAX reached 0 For a total of 11 Laps around the baseball field 55 burpees, 55 squats, 55 merkins, and 55 bigboys. We finished our beatdown with a COT
Warm Up: Side Strattle Hops IC, Cherry Pickers IC, Seal Jacks IC, Windmills IC
The Thang: The Escalator with 6 pain stations.
The way this works is that you start with 10 reps of an exercise at the first station. At the next station you add 20 reps of a different exercise to the first. At the next station you add 30 reps of another exercise and so on. Our exercises were as follows. 10 Burpees, 20 Australian Snow Angels, 30 E2Ks each side, 40 squats, 50 high knees, and 60 LBCs. Australian Snow Angels is when you lay on your belly in the superman position and then move like you are making snow angels.
The Message: I talked about how my M was attacked by a dog and how God and her self defense training protected her. I read a few verses about God’s protection and wisdom’s protection. The take away is two fold protection. We need to be wise and depend on God. The verses are here.
Primis drew 5 HIM out of the Fartsack on Wednesday for a “tentative” workout. What that means is that there was enough lightning flashing across the sky to bring doubt as to whether a workout would be in the PAX’ best interest. Flashes pretty well subsided by go time, and having left all kites and keys in the clown cars, PAX ventured into Hump day the best way known…untouched by lightning and with an O-Gawd-Thirty beatdown session that went a little something like this:
Disclaimer proclaimed.

RR Tracks to the 5th level
Quick Nur to the very top
After a brief visit by hospital security (and an unsuccessful EH because, well, we know where he’s at on Wednesdays at this hour), Pax took a quick breather for the 3rdF:
If you’ve been to any of my Q’s over the last few years, you know that I’ve usually done 18-counts, or 18 reps. I’ve mentioned as well there’s a reason for that. Today I’ll end the mystery or anticipation: Really, what I’m sharing today is about making Sky-Q your Soul-Q.
SkyQ def from the Lexicon: “The Q of the Big Ball and the Super Unknown. Recognized by those who do not believe themselves to be King of the world. The Creator.” (i.e. God/Christ the King)
When Jesus said in John 17:1 “The hour has come” He was referring to His impending death, a death for which the Son of the Living God needed to steel Himself (remember Sua sponte? Remember His presence? Remember finishing strong? There’s only one way to finish strong, and that’s to be in the race!).
As Jesus gathered His thoughts in preparation for His coming ordeal, however, it was life, not death, that first came into focus. In the 3rd verse He would go on to say, “This is life eternal, that they might KNOW Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.”
Here’s my point. It has to do with a four-letter word (Bombjacks? Nope!). If life is knowing God, then death is ignorance of God. But “K-N-O-W” in biblical language means not so much information about, as RELATIONSHIP with (something Toy Soldier referred to on Tuesday).
In this sense we have to understand the Savior’s definition of life: Life is knowing God; death is ignorance of God. Life is fellowship with God; death, alienation from God. Life is friendship with God; death, enmity against God. Life is union with God; death, separation from God.
The essence of death then is not the cessation of bodily functions; that is merely a symptom of alienation from the Source of life; so it has been since our sin first separated us from God in the Garden. For that reason, Rom. 6:23 says that “the wages of sin is death.” Those who do not K-N-O-W the Father through faith in the Son–who have not received the forgiveness of sin Christ died to purchase–are literally dead even while they live. (Ephesians. 2:1 “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins.”) There Paul was speaking to people about their state of being prior to their relationship with God through faith in Christ. He was talking to living people, but declared to them that they were dead.
You may K-N-O-W alot about God. You may have even grown up in the church, or you might have gone to church your whole life. But that doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to McD’s makes you a hamburger. Only knowing alot ABOUT God puts you about 18″ from heaven, if you haven’t personally received the forgiveness of your sin through faith in the Son. 18″ is about the distance from your head to your heart! That’s the difference between speaking of SkyQ and personally KNOWING Soul-Q, the difference between heaven and hell.
So this morning, in this Q I tell you the significance of “18” and I want to ask if you simply know about Jesus, or if you K-N-O-W Jesus. 18″! …
ALBERT EINSTEIN – I too know who I am; what I don’t know is where I am going. “
