CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The last couple weeks I have felt a bit flat. Things for the most part of gone well. For some reason I have felt a little disinterested in things I usually like. I have been a little more cynical lately. I could not figure out why. I was listening to Joe Rogan’s podcast and he had David Goggins on the podcast. Goggins was explaining what went wrong in his life after he left the airforce, although I think he would say this was a theme of his entire life. He said, “The more comfortable I was, the more uncomfortable my mind was.”

I think that this is true for people. I know it certainly is for me. The last couple of weeks I have not been posting as much and I really think that is why I was feeling off. Getting up in the morning and embracing the suck makes everything better for my day. To make a lateral step I think it relates to the idea that being strong is not about succeeding, it’s about accepting the suffering continuously. So, I would like to thank all of you for posting and being a part of this great community. I am approaching a year in F3, and I think this has been one of the better years of my life. It would not have been without the opportunity to go out and suffer every morning with you all. Cheers!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The common denominator in all of these mass shootings, and the sexual misconduct violations are that all of the perpetrators are MEN. It’s men that are hurting our women and children. It stresses the importance of pulling men out of isolation and into community.

MOLESKIN:

With all of my mis-q’s today it felt like a VQ. I’m thankful for you men that I consider brothers. Thankful for your support and your leadership. Iron truly sharpens Iron.

BOM

Be a part of a men’s group and you will be a better believer. As part of mine I am leading a session on wives next week. My first thought was to go into the Word and see what God said about wives. He says:

Proverbs 18:22

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.”

Ephesians 5:25

“Husbands love your wife as Christ loved the church.”

I can honestly say I haven’t always been the best husband. Or at least the husband my wife deserves. Thankfully she hasn’t caught on that she could do better… but if I am supposed to love her like Christ loved the church, it means I’m supposed to be kind to her, fight for her, pray for her, lead her, and love her with all my heart. Thankfully God and wives forgive us when we don’t do as we should.

And while I believe that Valentine’s Day is a holiday made up by card, chocolate, and flower companies to offset their losses during the holiday season, we are supposed to show our wives how much we love them tomorrow, I encourage you to not let it just be tomorrow, but everyday.

We joke about the inspiration book for today, “Women’s Heath Little Book of Exeecises”, and the pictures in the book, we shouldn’t compare our wives to other women. It does us no good to compare our wives to 20 year 0% body fat cheerleaders. We need to stop looking at this pictures, or phones, or other women at all, and love our wives for who they are and what Christ sees in them.

So go home hug your wives and really tell them how much they mean to you and how much you love them.
