13 Pax came out for Crossroads Run or Ruck. 13 for Q Source

These HIMS pushed themselves..and me!

Pizza Man paced me for 5 and encouraged me spiritually. We also got a Rooster roster about set.

Broke lost it at the college (glad you found the phone), but came through in leading the long run and in helping me navigate this camera-phone thing.

Gump joined us for hopefully the first of many of the long runs.

SA is a rock-pusher and an inspiration.

Freight held me accountable on my timing..and is accelerating spiritually and physically.

Passed Leppard going the opposite direction for 10 miles. Next time, come WITH.

Montross went the extra mile..or two..on his birthday!

Blart, Taterhole, Mayor, Big Pappy are consistent Rock Pushers.

Roadie and Gumby joined us for Q Source.

Leppard had to leave after taking us out.

Requests:

Death of Freight’s coworker

Mayor’s sister-in-law-cancer

Praise for Purple Haze’s wife’s test results

Thankful for you guys!

Keep accelerating..no such thing as stagnating.

Word: 

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16 ESV

This only in God’s power and minute by minute with future grace.

Consider the fact at Christmas, and each day throughout the year, that at salvation, “Jesus takes our sin, and we take His righteousness”. Jesus’ sacrifice and righteousness are the ultimate gifts, and these gifts are free; we don’t have to do anything to earn them.

This is the gospel — the good news that our sins are laid on Christ and his righteousness is laid on us, and that this great exchange becomes ours not by works but by faith alone. “By grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9). (John Piper, “The Great Exchange”)

Prayer Requests:

Volt’s Father- in- law

Word:

David Platt: “God has made a way of salvation for you! And the way is faith in Jesus! The way is not you working your way to God. The way is trusting in what God has done to make His way to you!”

Everyone pressed on and worked hard! The prior word reminds us that salvation is not something we have to, or can, work to achieve. It’s free, through Christ’s blood and by grace alone through faith alone.

Always an honor to lead such a great group of HIMS! Welcome Stinky Bird to your first time at The Goat. It’s great to have El Tigre as a regular; Sister Act back with us after a period away; Tophat pushing through; and Virus, Dirt and Time Frame giving their all!

It was a beautiful morning with perfect weather as 95 runners participated in this year’s Stop Soldier Suicide run. The course was set up in reverse of last year’s course.

14 F3 Members participated:

5 Pax ran Speed for Need

9 Pax ran either the 5K or 10K.

Pizza Man pushed an empty chair, which was kind of fitting as it could represent all of those who have served, or are currently serving, our country.

Bedpan’s uncle was our honored retired serviceman.

A little bit about this gentleman:

Terry Revels, Chief Petty Officer, Retired.

77 years of age

26 years military service: National Guard, Army, retired from Navy. 

1960 served with a recon unit in South Korea. Including 25 parachute jumps. 

Naval career: He served on several ships including: 

USS Belmont (a spy ship), 

Denebla, 

Blue Ridge,

Denver, 

Tarawa,

USS Saratoga (from which he retired as Air Traffic Control)

Bedpan said that he told him they followed France and watched them launch and drop their first Atomic Bomb. Said he was so close “He could see the flash”.  

We all share in thanking Retired Chief Petty Officer Revels for his service and for his willingness to participate in this year’s Stop Soldier Suicide Speed for Need Event!

Thanks also to Pizza Man for organizing and orchestrating the F3  Unit and to all who participated!

14 Pax, including 1 FNC newly named Gordon Ramsay, came out for a Tophat Q.

I didn’t realize that Tophat really doesn’t write Backblasts lol; so I am doing this by memory as I can’t find the notes I thought I took for this workout.

We did a series of squats,

we did Triple Nickle, I believe..I remember Moroccan Nightclubs-a favorite of our Q.

We got in 1.53 miles.

Nice work done by all!

Word:  Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. Yes, we sharpen one another physically; but don’t forget to focus on the spiritual sharpening:

YHC took us out..after forgetting

Buckeye took the flag..after forgetting.

It has been a true blessing and honor to serve as Site Q at The Goat. It is really a great venue! And thanks to all of the pax for stepping up and Q’ing. I never had problems filling the Q schedule.

So, parting advise..step up and Q! If you don’t know where to begin, copy this Q..we did two things-Black Jack and W.A.S.H. and that burned about the whole workout..and probably some of our arms..haha.

So, come out and support Buckeye..shuffle or no shuffle..as one to whom I happily, yet with some sadness, hand over The Goat!
