WORD:
This PAX braved the fog and smoke hanging around Knoxville to plunge into the gloom and get better together. I appreciate all the guys who came out and put in good work this morning. I once again am blessed to be surrounded by such a great bunch of HIMs. I also didn’t know what I was going to say to the PAX when we finished this morning, so I let God’s word speak for me I shared this simple message from Philippians 2:3-4

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others”

I encouraged each PAX to go out and put others first, whether that be in their homes with family, at their jobs with coworkers, or in the community. But God created us to use us for His good, and His good is helping others and not being focused on ourselves.

BOM:
Our prayer was that each man go out and put others first and that God would show them where they could be used. We also prayed for our brother Simone who has left to attend basic training for the US Air Force. As an AF brat and a guy who went through a different training I know the excitement and nervousness he is experiencing. We prayed for his health as he goes through training, hopefully his time with F3 Knoxville helped him get physically ready, and we prayed that he also stay emotionally and spiritually connected. Our prayer also included thanking him for his service and that he be safe in his training and on his missions upon graduation.

WORD
Kids & Prayers
Took some time yesterday to talk though what bedtime prayers really were about with the kids…brought to mind to share with the PAX:  Take time to really understand what you’re doing rather than just rushing through something you do every day from memory.  Take time and be introspective.
