“The MORON”

This is a “Flash CSAUP?” What is that you ask?  It is like a regular CSAUP except without prior planning and preparedness.  That includes preparedness for you!   #SHOWTOKNOW

Saturday morning May 11, 2019:  Arrive by 0315 at Gastonia’s original and greatest AO of all time, the Schiele Museum of Natural History.  1500 E. Garrison Boulevard, Gastonia, NC

Bring the following things:

Ruck Sack with weight (30 lb suggested minimum)  **If you have more than one, bring it just in case another PAX needs it.

Running shoes/headlamps/reflective gear

Shovel flags

Sandbags

Fuel/Water

Start times will based on fitness level.

It might be possible to make it back in time for the start of the Painlab and/or Gashouse bootcamp but that depends on you and your team.  However, we will be back before COT.  (Team Assignments will be made by the Q and/or his designee)

Closing thoughts:

*Don’t expect much except to be better for the experience.

*You will probably be sore by breakfast (Union Road Diner at 0815)

*Prepare to be underwhelmed.

*They are called CSAUP’s for a reason.

*You will cover multiple miles with your best friends so what could possibly be wrong with that?

*It is called “the Moron” for a reason.

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,

Living on the Edge at Crossroads

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 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.

PainLab Site Q Open Position

Leadership is a skill that a person must learn and master during their lifetime rather than an attribute of their character with which they are born. As a skill, it is like learning to play the piano. If it were an attribute, it would be like having blue eyes or a square jaw.

Because it is a skill, a person must commit to learning to lead in the same way that they would learn to play the piano. The degree to which they will ultimately master it will depend both upon their natural ability and their willingness to practice. Because we are all born with some leadership ability, even a man with very little natural skill can still be an effective leader if he is willing to practice hard. But a man who will not practice at all will never master the skill even if he is born with the heart of a lion. The decision to become an effective leader is volitional. No one else can make it for you.”

            – F3 Q Source

 

F3 is more than a workout. It’s also about growing a man and teaching leadership. It has been almost one year since I took over PainLab as Site Q from Rudolph. I have been and always will be passionate about this AO. It offers so much too many PAX that cannot do a Bootcamp due to injury or other physical limitations. By no means is this an easy workout AO. We push the boundaries of what can be accomplished with low to no joint impact, while still being able to raise the heart rate to that of a Bootcamp or Running AO.

I am looking to pass the torch to another HIM in the region that has this same PASSION.

I am looking for someone that is ready to take the next step to becoming a LEADER.

I am looking for YOU.

Are you willing to step up and be a leader??

When: Torch will be officially passed over to a true HIM on May 18th, 2019.

PainLab is located at GasHouse on Saturdays 0700-0800. Although we are a separate AO, we will always warmup, end with Mary & COT with Bootcampers. If there is a convergence, you will be responsible for having a PainLab option. This ensures we are inclusive to all PAX at such a large gathering of HIMs.

Job Requirements

  1. The F3 Ambassadors, if you will. Every man’s first impression of F3 will likely be guided by the work of these men. This is where the rubber really meets the road.
  2. He makes sure that the core principles are kept intact, which is impossible to do if HE ISN’T THERE. So, the inferred commandment is, BE THERE. Every time. Period.
  3. He plants the flag for the AO, makes folks feel welcome, makes sure the disclaimer is correctly spoken, picks up the 6, etc.
  4. He manages safety for the site (don’t post if there is a bunch of lightning, that sort of thing).
  5. He manages the Q schedule. Practices Voluntoldism…
  6. He sells the AO, the Qs, and the Mission of F3.
  7. He harasses Qs to write BBs, etc.
  8. Has social media skills

Qualifications

  1. Drive
  2. Ambition

“Preparedness is for the Birds.. Wing it”

8 Pax ran today.

Q Source on Preparedness was given by Alan Tate. Seven runners were in attendance along with Pizza Man and 2.0, Huckleberry, and Alan Tate (Q Source leader).

Eph. 6:14-15 Stand therefore, having fasten on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.

Preparedness..a mindset or a process?

Don’t leave prayer out of the process, as is the tendency.

4 Quadrants: Get right, Live right, lead right, leave right

Great job, Alan Tate, of preparing and delivering a great Q Source with stories and humor! So, as some feel  more comfortable doing things off the cuff, while others of us need to be more regimented, we all need to be preparing spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally each day.

Prayer Requests:  illness of pax members and families, each other, Pizza Man’s M, Pax going to New Orleans

Announcements:  CSAUP, Rooster

Nice, steady run today everyone! Thankful for the opportunity to Q this great group of men!
