Introduction
As a tribute to our fallen brother, we repeated Streaks last BD from April 1, 2019.Fight gone bad.
Warm-O-Rama
A brisk run around the football field….then 10 each…SSH, Merkins, situps, squats, situps, squats, merkins, situps, squats, SSH. All while playing the same Music picks that he had for that day. Each song having a very powerful effect on YHC.Each song showed us a little of the fight mark was going through at the time. Song list included, Viking Funeral song, Beautiful Pain, Wake me up, Hey ya, Wanted dead or alive, Danger zone, Eye of the tiger, Don’t let me down.
The Thang
Mark loved MMA. So his thought was instead of 3 five minute rounds we would do 5 exercises, one minute each, for 3 rounds. Pull-ups ( which we changed out), merkins, BBS, squats then burpees. As part of his April Fool joke….the pax did 5 rounds….We only did 3 rounds followed by one of his favorite routines at the end of a hard workout, Bring Sally up.
Circle of Trust
Swedish Ham spoke about the importance of F3 and the importance of leaning on each other, not trying to weather the storms alone. Katmandid spoke about reaching out to other PAX and finding 2-3 guys in the group that you could meet with and develop meaningful close relationships, that allow Men to be open and transparent with each other.
Naked Man Moleskin
YHC feels this will grow F3WC and the bonds many of the group already has. Thankful for my brothers of F3 and for the plans God has for this group. I love you all.
Mark’s Last words sums it up pretty good.
As George Washington said, “Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.”
Vulnerability is incredibly difficult for me. But I’m trying to lean in and trust. “Nothing to hide, fear or prove” is the opposite of how I’m wired and diametrically opposed to how I’ve lived my life. I’m astonished as to how much fighting is a part of my DNA, my mindset, everything. Even when I think I’m leaning on Jesus I’m still living in my own strength, wisdom, depending on myself. Today, my jumbled words at the COT were me saying I need you guys. I need help and accountability making sure Jesus is number one and that my worst enemy, myself, is not sitting on the throne.
