CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Philippians 2:3-5 – Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.  Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.

MOLESKIN:
On the way to Q this workout I realized that, although I had thoughtfully planned the exercise, I hadn’t given any thought or attention to the BOM.  I said a quick prayer to ask God for some inspiration to share something that at least one of the guys needed to hear that day, but what he gave me (the verse above) was direct shot at my own heart (and I hope someone else’s too).  The lesson here is that God speaks to us through prayer and through his word, so if you aren’t spending consistent time in the word you’re going to miss out on all that he has for you.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Please sign up for Hardship Hill and/or make yourself available to help position the obstacle some time next week.  I’ll put a word out there to coordinate a day that works.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Encouragement to pray for our leaders. In all the news, discussion, opinions, complaints, etc… the clear command in Scripture is for us to pray for them.

1 Timothy 2:1-6 — First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivingsbe made for all people, vfor kings and all who are in high positions, that we maylead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and wdignified in every way. This is good, and xit ispleasing in the sight of yGod our Savior, who desires zall people to be saved and atocome to bthe knowledge of the truth. For cthere is one God, and there is one mediatorbetween God and men, the man1 Christ Jesus, dwho gave himself as a ransom for all,which is ethe testimony given fat the proper time.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: Today I talked about the importance of the second F. Fellowship. I went over a brief brief history of why F3 was created. The fellowship part of our group is very important. As we get older we lose friends that we grew up with and find ourselves more and more isolated. It’s very important to connect with other men moving in the same direction… Forward. Learn from each other, laugh with each other, and become better men with each other. I encouraged everyone to step outside of just the work out and connect with lunches, gatherings, other activities with F3 brothers. It’s through those that we really glue those are much needed relationships together.

MOLESKIN:
Tweet-E and I reminisced and shared with the packs are encounter with the motorcycle couple down at the Pavalon. I’ll leave it at that
