10 men, including three 2.0s' one being a FNG (Dirty Bear), met Clubber for his Virgin Q on a cool breezy morning. ELHS Mustang provided a plethora of painful opportunities. A week's worth of prepeartion allowed the Q to scroll through Lexicon to find excersises unheard of in these parts.

Reflection
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is the noblest, second, by imitation, which is easiest, and third by reflection, which is bitterest." Confucius
We all have done things we are truly regret. We learn from our past but at times we still slip up and even repeat mistakes and sins. A sinful secular society makes it even more difficult to stay on the righteous path. Our will-power alone is not enought. We need to invite the Holy Spirit in. Take off the old guy, and put on the new guy. This is, personally, what I am doing day-to-day.
Finding F3 two months ago brought more than fitness back into my life. After leaving the boxing gym years ago, everything went down hill. Health, fitness, emotion, etc. I've not found the Lord since being a 2.0 myself, and have had many questions, but the power of this group and fellowship has touched my heart, spirit, and soul. Fallen Fire Fighter Josh Warren was remembered. Collapsed this week on-duty, during a workout. 34 yrs old, husband, father of two, fully dedicated to church, family and community.
Dear Lord Jesus,
I admit that I am a sinner
I have done things that were wrong
Things that have hurt you
Things that have hurt others
and things that have hurt myself.
I believe that you died on the cross for my sins
and that you died on the cross for my sins
and that three days later you came out of the grave
I know that you are still alive today
and that you love me.
So I turn my back on the past
and in the present
I give my future to you.
Please, forgive me of all my wrongs and the past,
and give me the wisdom and the strength to make the right choices in the future.
I know you are the Son of God and you have the power to save my soul.
So today I give you my whole heart,
and I accept your grace that is greater than all my sins.
I willingly choose to live for you,
all the days of my life
Teach me your ways, wisdom, and your love.
Followed by my first time ever leading a group prayer.
Moleskin:
Not too much chatter today, I expected a little more. Or did I tune it out? C# and Closer had some shennanigans, but that was expected. Taking the Q's sheet will be remembered. More focus on legs and arms today, only 2 miles. Q broke his toe last night, so today was not as fun as he intended. Q also learned that even if there is a lot on paper, it probably isn't enough to fill an hour's worth of work.
Today was special for me, something special touched me, and I had to collect myself to make it through the reflection. I've never had a group of men to stand with me while I am most vulnerable, and hold me up. F3 has changed my life for the better, and through all 3 Fs' I'll be a better husband, father, friend, and leader!
TClaps to all PAX who landed, executed, and became stronger today at AO ELHS-Mustang.
