CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
May the 4th is tomorrow.  When watching the Original Trilogy, you think the story is about Luke, but after watching the Prequel Trilogy, you realize that the story is about Anakin.  A story of redemption.

Also, God laid on my heart this week to be aware of the legacy I’m leaving.  I shared the tale of Steve Jobs.  He built a huge company that changed the world, but within months of his death, Apple launched a product he said they’d never sell:  the iPad Mini.

Our legacy is much more affected by the people we influence throughout our lives.  Our children, wives, friends, coworkers, and others.  The values we invest in them and the fruit of the Spirit we bear around them will make a bigger impact than the work of our hands.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:6‭-‬8 NASB1995

Christ didn’t die only for those who were righteous, but he died for all sinners.

“And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”-Ephesians 2:1‭-‬6 NASB1995

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’m thrilled that F3 is coming to Kingston.  We talked about the value of F3 – “it’s more than a workout”.  Fitness (exercise, nutrition, rest, resisting vices), Fellowship (friendships, mentoring, shield locks), faith, leadership.  The men of Kingston need something like F3 – and (as far as I’ve found) there is nothing else like F3.  Aye!

Me and 8 of the best men I know

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The workout and Word were inspired by something that Erector said when he led two weeks ago.  He repeated a workout from a year or so ago and had to modify toward then end and stack more on us because we were finishing too fast.  He said, “I’m not sure if the group has gotten stronger…or if I was just more efficient with explaining the workout.”  We repeated the Air Force PT test that we did 6 months ago – to measure whether the group is, in fact, getting stronger/faster.

Unless you currently are recovering from an injury, I hope you are getting steadily stronger and faster.  More than that, I hope you are applying the wisdom that you hear in the BOM and seeing positive impacts in your life.  Fitness and wisdom will not happen overnight.  I’m reminded of something Mathlete said a few weeks ago about our progress being like an ascending spiral.  All these different facets of me are getting better as I make steady improvement.

  • …a little stronger…
  • …a little more graceful toward those I disagree with…
  • …a little less selfish…
  • …a little faster…
  • …a little more engaged with my loved ones…
  • …a little more intentional in my fathering…
  • …faith that is not just in the head and heart, but in actions…

None of these happen by accident.  They happen only when you do the hard work of applying yourself toward them.  If even a tenth of what you hear in the BOM is taking root in your life, what a man you will be!

A pair of quotes for you;

  • “Well done is better than well said.” – Benjamin Franklin
  • “Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.” – Dale Carnegie

From Scripture;

“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.  …if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.”  James 1:22-25

“What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? …faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.”  James 2:14, 17

“All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.” Proverbs 14:23

“Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me.” Philippians 4:9

MOLESKIN:
