BOM
Stop pursuing happiness and start practicing contentment.  The first step of contentment is gratitude.  No matter how crazy or hard things are, there are good things to be thankful for if we will take the time to look.  The good news is the more thankful we are, the less discontent we are.  And as contentment grows, so does our sense of peace and joy.

  • Another One Bites the Dust – Queen
  • Keep Your Hands to Yourself – Georgia Satellites
  • Basket Case – Green Day
  • Hey Jealousy – Gin Blossoms
  • Mr. Jones – Counting Crows
  • Fly Away – Lenny Kravits

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM
Often we measure our sense of security and significance by our external circumstances…where we “are.”  A stronger, truer expression is to look at the direction we are heading in.  Our circumstances may be tough, but if keep our eyes fixed on God, and seek to live with honor and integrity we will find a strength and resilience we didn’t know we had access to.  Conversely, we may be in a “good place” circumstantially, but if we don’t guard our heart and mind we will soon find life looses it’s joy and wonder.  Bottom Line: Life is a pursuit, not a destination!  What are your eyes fixed on?  How can you help someone in your life shift perspectives?

F3 has always been and will always be more than a workout.  We definitely want to push ourselves and each other physically, but we also want to grow relationally and spiritually.  The PAX is unique in many ways, one being that we are not out here to compete against each other, but collaborate together to grow as husbands, fathers, sons, employees, employers, friends, and neighbors.  We are bound together under a high power for a greater purpose.

MOLESKIN
Alcoa will never be the same.  The PAX came hungry, focused and ready for to push hard and get better…together!  The Bomb Shelter is a incredible AO that will be keeping the HIMs of Alcoa/Maryville busy for a long time.  It was a honor to lead and be a part of this PAX.  I have a feeling we are going to see some good things from these men.

In Wild at Heart, John Eldredge talks about three things in the heart of every man:
– An adventure to live
– A battle to fight
– A beauty to rescue

Being a HIM means paying attention to each of these three aspects of our heart.  Bottom line…IT’S NOT ABOUT US!  We draw breath to be life-givers to others.
