14 PAX embraced the SUCK on a humid June Saturday. Lots of good mumblechatter and energy.

BOM
P-nut read from Galatians 6:2. He encouraged us all to bear one another’s burdens. We all have obstacles and troubles in life, and it’s important to share your burdens with other men. Let’s encourage one another.

P-nut took prayer requests, including Crawdad’s daughter Danielle (strep throat) and prayers for Edit’s safe completion of a triathlon event in Chattanooga this weekend.

MOLESKIN
It was energizing to see Jump Around back in town. We are grateful for two new PAX members (Buc and Kees) for posting three times in their first week with F3 (T-claps). Abscess is back and stronger than ever. Cap’n Crucnh showed all of us up by running 2.5 miles prior to the post. Woodshack invited an FNG (Mirror) and then didn’t post. From henceforth when this situation occurs (invitation extended without the host showing up), we will refer to this as “Woodshacking.”

It was a great, spirited day at the Asylum.

G6 shared about the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.  He then prayed and we ended with Taps.

MOLESKIN
31 PAX including 1 FNG came out to a gloomy Asylum to get better and honor the men and women who have fallen in battle.  We took on the Team RWB 21 Guns challenge and added some more for good measure (if it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change).  The highlight of the morning was moseying to the East Tennessee Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery.  We made our way to the top of the main hill and circled up for the COT.  Men who have lost friends and family during battle shared their names, branch of service.  We then had our PAX’s own Wardaddy G6, himself retired Air Force, share during the BOM and lead us in prayer.  We ended our time with a moment of silence and the playing of Taps.

It was a great morning.  As men arrived a thick fog settled over the park and it set the mood perfectly.  This was a special morning.  The men went hard and no man was left behind…just as it should be.

Friday Fun Day…

Where do we find our Significance?

I have been reading a book called the true measure of a man that was introduced to us by Byonce and God has really been using it to speak to me about where I find my significance.

Significance is the belief that your life makes a lasting difference.

There is a Theory proposed in the book the men find their significance in how the most important person in his life sees him. I think that often it is easy for men to get that confused.

What do you think would happen if Christ were the most important person in our life. What if Christ were the audience that we wanted to please most? It would truly transform our lives because Jesus understands we are each of incredible value. We are of infinite worth to him. He loves us with everlasting love.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
