Be the coffee bean.

It was 56 degrees and dry.  In addition to being pretty perfect for a workout, it was about 30 degrees warmer than projected temperatures the rest of the week.  Fartsacking was a poor choice.

Here’s a sneak peak of Lap Dog on Thursday morning: disney lol GIF

It was a typical Hokie Pokie warm-up.  You gotta give the people what they want.

We finished up a few minutes early for a devotion inspired by the book, “The Coffee Bean” by John Gordon and Damon West.

What happens when you put a carrot in hot water?  What about an egg?

Life is full of challenges.  How many times has the heat been turned up in life and we have responded like the carrot and went soft and weak?  Did you ever want to do something meaningful but were afraid to step up?  What about going to church or getting baptized?  Or other times has the pressure of life made us become hard and calloused like the egg?  How many times have we been quick to anger, harbor grudges or were too prideful to say, “I’m sorry.”

Now what happens when you put a coffee bean in hot water?  It changes the environment.  High Impact Men act like coffee beans.  Paul writes in 2 Timothy, “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Will you, as Men of F3, embrace that message and allow God to lead us towards a life of positive change?

We’re not meant to be timid men.  Go, and be the coffee bean in your world.
