“Oh… My bad, Boo!”

Lake Murray, SC, Other / By / April 2, 2019 / ,

Six pax braved the torrential mist to join us at Foxhole this morning for the Changing of the Guard.  So far no one has pulled a Steve Harvey and called to say “My bad, Boo”, so I guess I got the gig for real.  But seriously, one of the coolest things about F3 is the smooth, seamless transition from one solid leader to another at the region and AO level.  Today, we got to thank Meter Maid as he handed over the reigns after an 18 month stint as our fearless leader.  He has also been the picture of consistency barely ever missing a boot camp. Well, only rarely missing a boot camp.  Okay, so making at least one boot camp per week, definitely!

Meter Maid, I’m sure I speak for the crew in saying thank you very much for your dedication, your willingness to lead (or follow), your humility, and most noticeably your presence.  If there was an award for perfect attendance, you would most definitely get it.

Well… you would definitely get it if Tory moved away.

Oh, and if Perdue stopped coming.

Or if Depends or Queenie broke a hip or ran out of Ensure and couldn’t be there.

Yep, if those guys were out of the picture, you’d definitely get the perfect attendance award.

I’m only kidding.  Thanks for your willingness to lead this motley crew.  Hopefully i can fill them big ol’ boots of yours!

Today’s workout was a pretty good one.  We tried to stay dry but it really didn’t work, so we were wet! But at least the rain knocked down the pollen a bit and kept us from getting black lung or something…. Yet!  Good work by all.  Here’s how it all went down

(including the super secret oath of loyalty you unknowingly committed yourself to…. It’s a binding commitment!  You are now in the hands of THE B!)

DEVO:

  • As the NCAA Tournament begins, our brackets are complete and the first round matchups are set. Each team is seeded based on the committee’s decision, and the number next to their name plays a big role in the discussions for the entire tournament.
  • While every team is given a seed or a spot on the bracket, some schools are likely to surpass expectations and win more games than their bracket placement would indicate. Other teams are given a better seed than they can handle and will go down early.
  • Teams given a poor seeding may end up struggling to win many games with tougher opponents, while teams seeded too richly may end up being overconfident and face an embarrassing defeat.
  • At the same time, there are plenty of programs who receive the proper seeding. Based on their season and roster, they may have needed a “7 seed” and that’s what they got. As a result, they will start and end the tournament very satisfied with what they accomplished because of getting just the right seed.
  • In our own lives, we may spend a lot of time thinking about our “seeds,” such as the amount of money next to our names. We worry about having enough or believe we’ve earned more than we’ve been given. We’re always looking to be labeled as a top “seed” and discontent when it doesn’t work out that way.
  • But there’s an alternative to this self-centered way of thinking. Instead of always asking God for more, what if we ask Him to satisfy our needs by giving us the “proper seeding” and find contentment in what He provides?
  • Proverbs 30:8-9 (NLT) encourages us to change our perspective and have this as our desire:
  • “First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. For if I grow rich, I may deny You and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.”
  • Today, let’s be challenged to know the Lord deeply and desire a life that is satisfied in Him above all else. As we honor God’s holy name, let’s pray for the right portion and make the most of whatever “seed” ends up next to our name.

And in closing….

“ALL HAIL THE B!“
