I’ve recently been listening to The Minimalists’ podcast. I’m guilty of cluttering my life with things. Consumerism isn’t the problem. We must consume. Food. Clothes. Gasoline. Air. Impulsive consumption is the problem. Buying things we don’t need with money we shouldn’t spend. Someone important said something like that, I think.

Last night I watched The Minimalist’s documentary with some friends. We watched it on our big TV. With surround sound. I downloaded it on my laptop. Tried mirroring it from our iPad. When that didn’t work, we streamed it from our AppleTV. At one point I had 5 devices within arms reach, trying to get a documentary about simplicity to work. The irony was thick. And healing. Like a Heimlich to my conscience.

Goal for the Week: Eliminate ONE THING from your life that doesn’t add value to your life.

For example, you might walk around the rooms in your house. Look at the items you have stacked in the corners. The sofa no one ever sits on. The chair whose only purpose is to hold pillows. Look in your closet. Consider the items of clothing that you don’t wear because A. they don’t fit, or B. you don’t like them. Consider any habits or routines in your life that are a drain on your time or energy. Do you really need to check emails at 11:30pm? Are you honestly that important to the world? Probably not.

“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” – Coach John Wooden

A good life is built one block at a time. It takes effort and intentionality. HIMs understand that their lives are not their own, that they get better in order to give more to those the love and live with. Coach Wooden’s definition of success is appropriate for every area of life…physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Each F3 workout is a microcosm of life. Take what you learned this morning, keep pushing and give it away!

MOLESKIN
The PAX pushed hard this morning! It is an incredible experience to line up each morning with men who are ready to reach past their limits to get better and make sure their brothers are doing the same. Prayer time at the end was especially good. Praying for needs and hearing praise reports was inspiring for YHC. Can’t wait to get back out there and do it again!

One of the most prominent people in ancient Hebrew is King David. He was a mighty warrior, poet, king…all around man’s man. A little less know is a group of warriors known at David’s Might Men (2 Samuel 23 gives a list of them and some of their incredible feats). These were men of strength, loyalty, passion and valor, HIMs!

Benaiah is singled out by the text for being a particularly great warrior. His name means, “built up by Jehovah.” His exploits are chronicled in 2 Samuel 23:20-23. One that sticks out is defeating a lion in a snowy pit. He saw the lion, jumped in and killed it, that’s pretty bad to the bone! Natural question for me is why? I don’t think he was trying to prove his manhood, I think he was accepting responsibility for it. What happens if he does nothing and someone else falls in that pit? Not good. Benaiah knows that if he doesn’t take action someone else is going to pay the price. So he does what he needs to do. That is what being a HIM is all about. It’s about taking responsibility for those under our care and doing the hard thing in order to keep them safe.

So where are your “lions?” Who is depending on you to do the hard thing? Make the HC NOW to be a lion chaser in your world. And always remember you never go alone…the PAX has your 6.

First time YHC has made it to “Bells and Ropes” at the Dog Pound. Great morning! They guys worked hard in typical Dog Pound fashion. Looking forward to getting back.
