15 HIM’s Got Better today!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“The Master in the Art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly know which is which. He simply pursues his vision of EXCELLENCE at whatever he does. Leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To H.I.M. he is always doing both.”

Aspects of our life can sometimes feel like drudgery. Going to work, coming home, working out, etc. If we are truly PURSUING EXCELLENCE in all that we do, we  should never experience this drudgery.

MOLESKIN:
These kids were quiet today. Our main mumblechattee’s were missing from the circle this morning. However, the men pushed hard today and many finished with a cherry on top of Matterhorn.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
All I had to share this morning with the PAX was a quick reminder that as men, people look to us to set the tone, and we need to remember that and set a positive one.  A smile helps spread more smiles.
MOLESKIN:
It was that kind of morning.  As the PAX assembled, Abacus hit the lights and it was apparent that Shooter was still in the #fartsack.   I dug up an oldie-but-a-goodie and then had to tell @Tank #whatsup as he tried to jump in my ‘Q takeover.  😉  He’s on-Q tomorrow anyway…  The PAX didn’t know what to expect, and as @Mayberry pointed out I had to blow the dust off….but we got the work done and I think the PAX missed some of the exercises I brought back out.  #bottomline we kept moving and broke a solid sweat.  Thanks men!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I took some statistics from https://www.dosomething.org/us/facts/11-facts-about-suicide and read this to the group

  1. Nearly 30,000 Americans commit suicide every year.
  2. In the U.S., suicide rates are highest during the spring.
  3. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for 15 to 24-year-olds and 2nd for 24 to 35-year-olds.
  4. On average, 1 person commits suicide every 16.2 minutes.
  5. Each suicide intimately affects at least 6 other people.
  1. About 2/3 of people who complete suicide are depressed at the time of their deaths. Depression that is untreated, undiagnosed, or ineffectively treated is the number 1 cause of suicide.
  2. There is 1 suicide for every 25 attempted suicides.
  3. Males make up 79% of all suicides, while women are more prone to having suicidal thoughts.
  4. 1 in 65,000 children ages 10 to 14 commit suicide each year.
  5. There are 2 times as many deaths due to suicide than HIV/AIDS.
  6. Over 50% of all suicides are completed with a firearm.

It is also the 10th leading cause of Death in the United States.

MOLESKIN:
There are a lot of Men and women who struggle daily with Depression and suicidal thoughts.  Nobody should have to struggle with this alone.  If you are going thru this please contact me or any of the F3 Men.  My contact number is 865-567-6652.  Also, as men of F3 reach out to those who may be struggling or you  have not heard from a while.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We talked about taking the time, spending it with the people that you love and not worrying about other things. The example of Martha in the Bible where she was too concerned about cleaning and cooking and spending time with Jesus. There are many areas of our lives that we spend time on that we will certainly regret later.
