COT

Thanks, guys, for coming out here today. It meant a lot to me. 2 years ago, today I was invited to a poker game at Trickle’s house not knowing it would change my life. He told me there would be some guys he works out. I got over there and they were introducing themselves with nicknames like Crablegs, Rhinestone, Roach Coach, etc., which I thought was a little different, but I thought the guys seemed fun and nice and so I committed to working out the next day at Black panther. Trickle had asked  me to do these boot camps before , but had no interest. I was what you call a sad clown-Weighed 235,  hadn’t worked out in 8 years, couldn’t run a half a mile, and couldn’t even do a burpee. I was just going thru the motions of life-going to work, coming home and going to bed. After the workout,  I was sore for a couple days but was determined to go back. Well, I realized after awhile of going that this was a game changer. Looking back, I have now done things I never knew I could do-Have done a Grow ruck, lost almost 25 lbs, doing run club every week and running 9 min mile (I was doing a 11 minute mile) ,posted over 430 times, have competed in Lincoln Games coming in top 15, and have been going to over 94% of the workouts this year. Besides physical part of F3, I have met guys that I consider my best friends and push me every day. Without you guys, I don’t know where I would be. I just want to say Thanks for pushing me and making me a better person physically and mentally. Thanks, guys, for changing my life.

Prayer

Almighty God, We bless you for our lives, we give you praise for your abundant mercy and grace we receive. We thank you for your faithfulness even though we are not that faithful to you. Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us all around peace in our mind, body, soul, and spirit. We want you to heal and remove everything that is causing stress, grief, and sorrow in our lives. Please guide our path through life and make our enemies be at peace with us. Let your peace reign in our family, at our place of work, businesses and everything we lay our hands on. Let your angels of peace go ahead of us when we go out and stay by our side when we return. In Jesus’ name, Please pray for Bunker, as he heals from his Broken leg. Also Steve, Judge Smail’s friend, as we remember him, who passed away 28 years ago, and he would have been 50 today. Also please pray for DJ Sump Pump’s friend Lisa, who has been missing for a couple weeks now and hope she is safe and not in danger.
