For Father’s Day, my M got me the official F3 Workout Deck. The cards finally arrived about two weeks ago so I decided to introduce The Mount to them. 14 brave souls showed up to get better. Weather conditions weren’t bad with temps right at 70 but there was plenty of sweat when we got done.

Mosey around the Retirement Center to what The Mount has affectionately called the “Hep C” pad. There’s no telling what type of waste is left on the ground there. Once we got here, everyone circled up and we started the workout. Each PAX would flip a card and call the exercise. #’s 2 – 10, you added 10 reps to the number on the card. Face cards were 25 reps, and Aces were 100 reps.
We did all types of merkins, 100 SSH, little arm circles, and calf raises, 25 burpees, core work, bear crawls, etc….
Ran out of time to finish the entire deck. Headed back to the shovel flag for the count off, name-a-rama, and COT.
WOD: The challenge to not get too busy doing unimportant things, but to focus on what really matters.
| Doing Too Many Things?
The days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day—Psalm 139:16 There are twenty-four hours in every day. We wish for more. We often act as if there were more: stay at work a little longer; stay up a little later, cram a bit more in. No matter what we do, though . . . still only twenty-four. God’s set the length. He’s also set the absolute number of those twenty-four-hour days each of us will ever get. We often act, though, as if that too weren’t settled, as if our earthly days might stretch on forever. They won’t: “Since his days are determined, and the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass” (Job 14:5). Our time is scarce—it’s limited and there’s less than we’d like. How we allocate it, therefore, how we run our calendars, matters. If we’re not intentional, external factors will govern the allocation: things that are more urgent will claim top priority. The problem is, urgent things aren’t always important things. In fact, many unimportant things become urgent if we let them: e.g., we sign up for something, maybe simply because someone asked us to or because everyone else is signing up, and its demands escalate and it begins to take too much time. This happens some and we default into calendars that don’t reflect our true priorities. We end up with days filled, but with the wrong things. |
