CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Kinda reused a Bomb Shelter BOM here:

Don’t be scared to live your life. Growth and true happiness occurs outside of your comfort zone. We have to push ourselves in every aspect of our lives to step out and do something different. Don’t shy away from something just because it is scary or unknown. Just do it. It’s better to try and fail than to never know what could have been.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:

If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

We have sweated together, been rained on together, bled together, prayed together, played together and got better together.

I want to thank everyone I have met in F3.  We have opened up our hearts and minds to one another.  Even if we don’t know one another that well, I know you care about me and my family just like I care about you and your family.  We lean on one another when we need it…we laugh, we eat, we drink but we also pray for one another and our families.

F3 is good for our heart and soul.  Let’s keep supporting one another whether we’re the fastest or bringing up the 6 like I often do.  Let’s also encourage others to join us.  Lots of men need us just like I need you.  We have impacted each other and I’m certain there are other men that need to get involved with F3 whether it’s for their physical health, their mental health or their spiritual health!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

One of the things I love about F3 is that when we come out here we are not here to compete with one another. We are not here to prove ourselves but to encourage one another.

There is a book by Keller I have listed to a few times called the freedom of self forgetfulness based on the 1 Corinthians 3. “So let no boast in, for all things are yours”

Often I find myself comparing my performance in all areas of life. My ego wants me to be seen as something great

It is not about what others think and not even about what I think but what the lord thinks.

Re-live the gospel ever day.

Christ’s perfect performance on the cross is the one that matters.

He died on the cross so that we don’t have to meet some standard set by others or even ourselves.

I don’t care what you think,I don’t care what I think, only with the Lord thinks

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked to the PAX about the joy I have seen this week as I drop off my daughter at school. “New” safety patrol students for next year do the job with joy, fear, excitement, and a willingness to please. The “mentor” safety patrol offers advise and help and tips. It’s awesome. We need to be more like the safety patrol students- eager to try new things, eager to listen to the help being offered, eager to step out of our comfort zone. We need to be like the mentors- eager to offer sound advise and help. PAX challenged to either open car doors, mentor, or both and do it all with joy and excitement!
