P-nut thanked everyone for coming out into the gloom. Read from 1 Thessalonians 5 and talked about how we can be the “light” and how to avoid “darkness.” Good things happen in the light, and we need to be the light in our homes, community and workplaces.

P-nut prayed us out.

The PAX came ready to burn some goo….and the goo was burned. Great mumblechatter and spirit from the PAX.

YHC shared the preface from “Tribe” by Sebastian Junger.  We are not made to walk through life alone.  Throughout history people have gathered in tribes to not just survive, but thrive. A tribe not only looks out for us, but won’t allow us to just skate by with minimal effort.  Our tribe-mates push us to reach our full potential and never settle for less than 100%.  We become better as we understand we have are responsible for the man to our left and right.  F3 gives us an opportunity to connect to something larger than our everyday world.  Each morning we are reminded that we live in a war zone and our engaged in a battle for the hearts and minds of those we love, but we are not alone!

Hebrews 10:24-25

MOLESKIN
The PAX continues to push and work hard every single workout.  Our FNG, Lazarus, shared a little bit of his story and blew us all away.  Thankful to have him join the PAX, and look forward to continue to get better together!

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.

BOM
John 13 – Jesus washed his disciples feet. Real men serve others. A mark of a man is to serve others. To carry the burden, physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. To give credit and take the blame. To love the annoying guy at work. To do the hard thing when you just really don’t want to. Remember Jesus – God of universe – laid aside his glory to serve others. Let’s do the same, brothers!

MOLESKIN
It’s getting warmer, but the PAX keeps on doing work!  It was brutal running Cardiac Hill with coupons, but not only did everyone make it they made sure the men on their left and right made it as well.  Great morning and great way to get ready for the holiday weekend!
