12 HIMS came out as we kept things moving at The Goat. Most of the activities were done in cadence with partners. How appropriate- considering that today was the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Tesla shared with us of a family member who was part of that momentous undertaking, and we realize how much those heroes had to rely on and support each other. They were all in it together.

YHC took us out.

As always, it was an honor to lead and to work out along side of each of you. I would encourage all HIMS to visit various AO’s and get to know your other F3 comrades. Also, look to Christ for your ultimate strength and relationship.

Seuss

Good, solid group of HIMS at The Storm today. If you weren’t there, you were missed. Come next week. Tophat was suppose to have this Q, but had to go out of town, so YHC took it. I think I got a little overambitious, as we were suppose to complete the Stink Bombs, run to Goat, and do another routine across the bridge; but I guess it’s better to overplan than underplan.

Anyhow, things will run smoother when I Q in a couple weeks at The Goat, so come on out. It’s great to see our numbers growing in the Belmont area, and it seems we’ve had a consistent showing of FNG’s at all of the AO’s.

Word:

My animal-themed workout lead me to a reminder that, unlike animals, we have souls and minds which need to be renewed daily.

I shared this at Q Source as part of out study about..Study. Continue to renew your minds daily. This was taken from Pastor Jeff’s Psalm 13 Sermon:

“I’m my own worst enemy! I will sink myself in depression, stress, anxiety, worry.  I listen to myself far too often. SPEAK TRUTH TO YOURSELF! We read the Bible so we correct ourself-to preach to ourself.”

Prayer Requests:

Families of Charlotte tragedy

Sargento’s Mother-in-Law

Boudin and Anchorman recovery 

No “monkeying around” for these men today; they worked like dogs.

It was so great to have Wet nuts back with us after a long haitus and Orangeman after his recovery.

Also, real glad Spiderman has been joining us after having handed over the Downtown Q;

newer HIMS Termite and Get A Grip continuing to post with us;

Breaker Breaker, Dirt, Tesla for continuing to push the rock here at the Goat;

and these totally impressive young HIMS, Headcase and Scribbles, who encourage me more than they know.

A true blessing to lead,

Seuss

It was a great morning at Crossroads. In fact, it was quite interesting.

Thang:

2 Rucked Boar’s Nest

6 Ran

(2 put in a cameo appearance: Hacksaw; Slaw..fast and furious)

There was almost blood thanks to Sister Act; the man has some quick reflexes..as does Mayor, who is also quick to forgive. Oh, the humanity..and SA lived to tell about it.

Q Source:

8 for Q Source:  Montross off to church;  Pizzaman joined us.

In summary: from APRIL 21, 2019 BY DANCING IDIOT    STUDY (Q1.11)

“A Leader is a person who is able to influence other people to Move to Advantage. Movement is action taken to further Purpose, and Advantage is a superior circumstance achieved by that Movement. Leaders are Disruptive in that they cause a disturbance to a Group’s Status Quo by first visualizing an Advantage and then articulating it to the Group’s Members so persuasively that they begin to Move toward it.”

“It (Faith) is dynamic rather than static, in that it is either Accelerating or it is Decelerating. It never just is.”

Also, a reference from Jeff’s sermon on Psalm 13:

“I listen to myself far too often. Speak truth to yourself! We read the Bible so we correct ourself-to preach to ourself”.

So, study to accelerate your faith and your relationship with Christ, as well as to renew your minds; continue posting to accelerate your fitness and your relationships with other PAX.
