Rainy, dark morning with some men that I’ve really gotten close with this past year. Dragging my feet going into this school year knowing it means less fellowship. I felt the love with 15 PAX showing up this morning. Even @dr-freud, despite having to leave early. Imperial toy hillbillies tested our coordination and brain power at the early hour. Plank soccer was fun, but as @lights-out suggested, may be interesting to try with a lighter, bouncier ball, such as a kickball, basketball, etc. Block breaker was another simple, fun competition. Just need to be mindful of uneven teams. Capture the blocks was a take on capture the flag, as I hear Incredible attempted in the past. While it was a little more complex, it kept us active, despite block stealing proving to be quite the challenge. Modifications would be to make the zone wider, and forbid Al Gore from puppy-guarding. Musical Bears was another simple, yet decent game. Need to clarify for PAX that get out to take a block with them to keep things running smoothly. All that said, I was happy to get through all 4 games, break a sweat, and have one last summer hurrah. I’ve made some new friends this summer through F3 and strengthened the friendships previously formed. I’ve had F3 brothers help me to grow in faith, physicality, and in my relationships. All summer, you have prayed for my family and my wife’s pregnancy. She firmly believes in the power of prayer continues to ask for these prayers. Her health has been outstanding and we have beaten the odds, surpassing the time of the struggles we went through with our first-born. So, thank you all again, for your prayers, thoughts, and concern. I hope to keep our bonds strong throughout the school year.
