25 in attendance, rooney and mater there but not tagged in system
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We talked about the Hardship Hill race and how it is important for us to serve our veterans and be a part of this great opportunity.

I gave an example of a African minister who was able to grow his church to huge numbers.  When American missionaries came to help they were astonished on how many people were coming to Christ through his church. They asked him how he was able to draw in so many people, he replied by saying that in America people study God‘s word and Bible studies at church and other areas, here they live in God’s word by serving others and people see that and want to be a part of a movement.  Then they study. We have it backwards here. We need to serve others and live for Christ not just study his Word.
MOLESKIN:
This old man was paired up with a 16 yr old cross country athlete (Jenny) . Good motivation for me to keep going. I heard lots of encouragement this morning to others.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It’s easy in life to get going  so fast it feels like we’re running downhill. If you remember as a kid running down a hill that was too steep where your legs are moving so fast that if you stopped you knew you would fall and tumble the rest away. Sometimes when running at that pace we get to where we are actually racing the people that we are running alongside, often times chasing the wrong things and filling our lives with too much stuff all the while trying to keep up and “win” the crazy race.
Sometimes we don’t even realize what’s happening as life gets tougher – relationally, work, self esteem, insecurity, true loss. Whatever the reason we find ourselves suddenly running uphill: resistance, reduced speed, aching to be done. The challenge I would propose is to consider whether you still run the uphill times like a race or do you Try to skip them and keep running downhill? Do you set yourself to work hard or just to survive? Do you seek to learn something, to get better – or do you just dwell in the misery longing for it to be over?
MOLESKIN:
I tore my plantar fascia (on the bottom of my foot) a couple weeks ago during an OTB that was truly incredibly stupid. It had been feeling good the last few days so I had envisioned competing, perhaps even winning one or two of the downhill sprints. 5 minutes into the beatdown today it rose up and let me know it was there. So I had to pace myself on the downhill which I don’t like to do. Because of that, I ended up pushing myself harder on the uphills than I normally would. All part of prepping for the BOM I guess. My conclusion:  I need to push myself on the uphills more often.

“When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survies.”

Life is really rough to get through by yourself. Learn to trust in the people around you and use each other to get through hard times. Don’t shut yourself in and take on the burden of the world on your own. F3 is an extremely great group of men that you can always call on for help. Use each other to get better, that’s what we’re here for.
