BOM
1 John 2:15-17
Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.

 

MOLESKIN
The PAX really pushed it today carrying around the 50lb sandbags. There will be some sore shoulders in the morning with all the mumblechatter/complaining (cough cough Edit) we heard during the workout. It is always good to hear questions like, “are you serious?” while giving instructions for the next exercise. This just means we are doing it right and all the PAX from the workout today would agree that we pushed ourselves hard to make ourselves better.

P-nut reminded everyone of the business that surrounds them in everyday life. Work, stress, hurt and worldly pursuits can distract us from our purpose. We need to elevate our thinking and focus on Christ to help us become better men. Get out of the world and into Jesus.  P-nut prayed us out.

MOLESKIN
Lots of spirited mumblechatter on this unseasonably chilly May morning. Good vibes from good men.

Element of Authentic Manhood – Stewardship.
Matthew 25:14-30.  We are stewards of all we have, not owners.  Ownership implies that we are the center, stewardship reminds us that we have to give an account what we have been given.  Not just our resources and talents, but our relationships.

The purpose of this workout was to share a weight. The CMU, as life often is, was quite heavy and a burden. I want us to remember to share with our brothers: share the good and the bad times, don’t hold back, give all you have to help them out. This can be physically, spiritually, emotionally. Help with everyday tasks, be honest with each other. Older men in our lives have more than likely been through the same times and struggles, younger men will likely go through them at some point, and men our age are possibly experiencing them currently. Let’s use this to build each other, learn from each other, and build one another up!
MOLESKIN
PAX presence this afternoon was weak, we had some out on injuries and for work. We are tired and sore from carrying the CMU all over The Asylum. Goes to show that the more brothers that are present to support you, the easier life is. You will learn more, pour into others more, and be fulfilled to a greater extent. Let’s get out there and support each other this week! How can I help you?
