CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Showed the PAX an inspirational video about F3 (hat tip to Blindside, who put it out on FB).  Here’s the transcript:

Make no mistake men. Every day you’re in a battle. A battle for your health. A battle for your family. A battle for your very soul. There are forces, seen and unseen, that want you to fail. They’re counting on you to fail. There are voices in your head that are reminding you of your past failures and telling you hey, stay in the comfort of your house, don’t come out to this work out, instead of getting out there, doing something difficult, and accelerating with other men who support you, and require your support in return. This is F3. There are no lone wolves. We’re a pack of men with a shared vision to plant, grow, and most importantly to serve, for the invigoration of male leadership in our community. We are… F3.

Are you ready?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today is Friday thr 13th, culturally a day of bad omen. Wikipedia claims this is because the number 13 is associated with the number of people at the last supper, and Friday was the day Christ died. Put them together, and you have double trouble. Every year has at least one Friday the 13th, and no year has more than 3. My friend Dave at work was born on Friday the 13th, and his mother always told him it was his lucky day. So, does this matter? Is there something special about the day when Friday and 13 intersect?

What can be said for sure is that it matters to some people. There are living, breathing people who dramatically alter their day to day life because of this intersection. Or perhaps, more precisely, because of what their culture has taught them is the significance of this day. That person’s head has been filled with an idea that for one day rules them. It has been said by some that “people don’t have ideas, ideas have people.” I think Friday the 13th is an example of that. Jesus says it this way, “Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.” (Mt 12:34) What you are filled with will manifest itself, whether you like it or not. We like to think that we can consume media full of violence, perversion, and lies without being affected, but that is an illusion. If you want to be a man of virtue, making it your primary input is a pretty darn good start.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” Phillipians 4:8-9

From The Difference Maker by John Maxwell

Guillaume Apolllinaire- “Come to the edge. No, we will fall. Come to the edge. No, we will fall. They came to the edge. He pushed them and they flew”

John Maxwell- “If you want to seize an opportunity, you must take a risk. If you want to grow, you must make mistakes. If you want to reach your potential, you will have to take a chance. If you don’t , you will be resigned to a life of mediocrity. The people who don’t make mistakes end up working for those who do. And in the end, they often end up regretting the safe life they lived.”
MOLESKIN:
Just happy to lead such amazing
