Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
A great morning after a great holiday. Some rucked, others ran, everyone got better.
The verse and word was:
Psalm 27:5
For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me high upon a rock.
Rabbit Ears missed his Q again, but no worries. Wichita filled in an provided a great word.
Our verse of the week was:
Isaiah 52:7 – How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, owho brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
Find your mission and execute!

It was an honor to lead a solid group of HIMS at an AO I have only ever visited once.
Being the Ricky Bobby, the work was themed around the movie.
We started out with “shake and bake” dora.
We looped around the front of the school carrying brake rotors and completed:
We placed the brake rotors in the back of the truck and picked up a block and made our way to field for some “I am on fire sets”
While one partner ran around the field the other part did the follow with the blocks
Time was running short, so we had to cut the “I am going to come at you like a spider monkey” short with only one bear crawl to the cone in the field.
We put the blocks up and moseyed back to start and wrapped up with a round of iron hulks.
We did the pledge and COT.
Prayer request
HIM’s take the opportunity visit and Q outside your home AO. F3 Gastonia is filled with many awesome HIMs. Get out and meet them.
Today at the Sword we read Lamentations 1.
We put in all the 3 F’s and it was glorious.
Today was a beautiful morning with clear skies and the perfect temperature. This was going to be the day we capture the crack commando unit that escaped from a federal prison. The men are focused and this was by far the best group of men that I have ever had to lead. There was no doubt we were going to be successful.
After a brief warm up we headed down to the lower lot to get in a some PT before we headed out on our journey. We went back and forth in the lot doing 20 LBC’s on one side and 10 Big Boys on the other. We did a burpee in the middle to keep the heart rate up.
As we worked through our reps, I hear private Wirenut say “What the heck is that…” . Moments later Captain H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdock comes sprinting out of the mental hospital. Murdock was running so fast he ran out of his shoe. A hummer filled with B.A. Baracus, John “Hannibal” Smith, and Templeton “Face” Peck spins around and Murdock jumps in and they take off into the darkness.
Unfortunately, my men and I froze. We could not process what had just happened. We just continued our reps. After completing PT, we took a mosey over to the other side of the park. I figuired a little game of basketball could lift the men’s spirits.
As we did Bobby Hurley’s at at each line, the “A-Team” which they like to call themselves, pulls up next us and hurls some grenades. Their aim is awful for the most part but private Sarlacc did take one on the neck. Private Wirenut showed much bravery as he storms the hummer almost pulling the one of them out of the hummer to be captured. Wirenut is one you want to take to battle.
We then took a mosey in the direction the hummer went. We stopped at the Folsom triangle. We took a NUR up the hill. We were not going to be tricked from behind again. At the top of the hill, the lunged walked with a head on a swivel. We saw movement at the gazebo. We started to surround the gazebo, then shots rang out. My men stormed them, many taking hits, but the A-team retreated in fear. Hacksaw had some great covert operations. My men and I have won the battle, but they still escaped.
We mosey back to tennis courts. As we mosey, the “A-Team” takes their shots at my men, causing Private Stogie to go AWOL. To my surprise, they pulled into base and surrendered.
Together we finish at the tennis courts with hand release merkins and LBC’s .
A quick mosey to the flag for some Al Gores, 22 for the troops, pledge and COT.
Today was a good day. We captured the “A-Team”.

5 HIM’s got better at the Sword. We put in a few miles and then had a great discussion on the Holy week.
The Sword is a great way to start the week. It was a pleasure to lead.
At the Sword, we usually stay in line with the Q Source topics at Crossroads, but apply the Word to it.
Today was no different.
Matthew 19 13-15:
Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” And he laid his hands on them and went away.
Here are some opportunities to support those without a strong male role leader to help them.
