CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared how this time of the year for me at work is can be more stressful than normal and how I often times find myself complaining about my day to my wife. Being the amazing wife that she is she reminded me of how the Lord sends us blessings that the enemy will try to steal. I told the PAX how prevalent complaining is to people in our society and how it works to steal our motivation and drive to appreciate God’s blessings and to complete the things that God has planned for us. This is especially true in a group setting, one person starts complaining and it will spread like fire through the group robbing the group of its motvation to complete the task at hand.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

In many ways our lives today are better than they could have ever been. We can solve most of our problems quickly and efficiently. However, most of our pains and pleasures as well as the pursuits of these are devoid of meaning. I encourage you all to find ways to insert meaningfulness into your lives whenever you can. Certainly for me, F3 has been one avenue for me. There is a sense of community embracing the suck together. Reach out to old friends and try to encourage them to come out, or try to interact with them in another meaningful way. Live purposefully with intent and even the painful days will be worthwhile.
MOLESKIN:
Insert any personal comments, notes, devotion content, etc.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

A few months ago La-Z-Boy talked about a book he was reading at one of his BOMs.  The book was about Grit and the impact it has on people’s success.  I think Grit is an appropriate topic as we begin 2018.  Whatever your new year resolutions and goals are – at some point you are going to face adversity in achieving them.  That’s where Grit comes in.  When challenges arise, will you give up or dig down deeper and press forward?  I encourage all of the Knoxville PAX to spend some time thinking about this.  When you’re tired, when you don’t feel like getting out of bed, when its cold, when its hot, when your kids are on your last nerve, when your boss doesn’t understand, when you’re mentally exhausted, when you’re looking for a new job, when you’ve tried all options and still aren’t making progress…..you get the idea.   In all of those situations and more it takes GRIT to stay the course.   Gritty wishes to all as we begin a new year together!

MOLESKIN:
Hats off to the Dog Pound crew today.   It definitely took some Grit to show up in 9 degree weather.  Tclaps brothers!
