CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Peter the Tentmaker. On top of the mountain during the Transfiguration of Christ with Moses and Elijah, Peter is the only Apostle that speaks. He tells Jesus that they should build three tents for each of them there. He wants to keep this moment forever. Peter basically word-vomits. He suggests something that doesn’t make sense for the situation. Much like Michael Scott from The Office. Starts a sentence and has no idea where it is going. 

We should have the faith that as long as we are honest and good-hearted, God will be pleased with our speech. Jesus does not rebuke Peter.

Job 1:21 “The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.” 

I have spent most of my life in comfort. In recent years I have had hard times (financially, mentally, spiritually, physically, etc.), but not near as difficult as those that are truly in need. Today, I saw the men of the Asylum AM step up for a family that they did not even know, for a guy who is a regular at a completely different AO across town. I put the word out last night that a family at my school was in need. They don’t have the resources to get their daughter to school in order to graduate. The nature of my school (which, while a Knox County Public High school) is that it has ‘less than ideal’ transportation options and this family does not have the means to buy gas in order to get their daughter to school. She is a senior on the cusp of graduation and needs to attend regularly to earn her diploma. The generosity of the PAX of the Asylum, both in attendance and not, was overwhelming to me. I will be able to present this family with a $250 gas card from Weigals tomorrow morning. 

I say it often, but it is ALWAYS worth repeating… The High Impact Men of F3 and F3Knoxville are the best men I know. Jumping at opportunities to make our community a better place. I don’t know where I would be without this group, and I know that if I ever need anything, an F3 HIM will be right there to help me along the way.
