Being a HIM (High Impact Man) is a combination of courage and humility; boldness and restraint.  We are never on autopilot, our hearts and minds must always be engaged and seeking the best for others.

An example is when it comes to conflict.  It’s easy for us to look at others and begin pointing out where they are wrong.  Jesus gave us a different path (Matthew 7:3-5),

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Notice he doesn’t say ignore the speck in our brother’s eye, just that we have to handle our own business before helping others.  This takes humility, discipline and inner strength.  It’s not easy to admit when we are wrong or have missed the mark, especially in the presence of someone else who has done the same.  But the truth is someone has to lead!  Someone has to step up and do what’s right.  That’s what being a HIM is all about.

As we move into the holiday season, let’s think about how blessed we are and not get caught up in how we are going to “provide” the silly things for the ones we love. Bless those around you, in your community. Use whatever resources you have, do not be selfish — time, finances, talent, etc. Give back this Christmas season!

Moleskin:

It was a great morning, covering a good deal of ground and carrying plenty of extra weight. Great to have Patty join the PAX, and to see High Tide check out a Knoxville AO! Looking forward to giving back to the community in the name of F3 this December!

Asylum Poker
P-nut announced that the workout would be determined by use of a deck of cards.  Hearts = burpees; Diamonds= merkins; Clubs= 4 count flutter kicks; Spades= squats.  Reps would be determined by the number on the card.

The PAX moseyed to 5 spots around the Asylum, stopping to do a series of 4 exercises at each station.  Merkins, burpees, squats and flutter kicks.

The PAX stopped at the soccer field to do one round of DORA, with one battle buddy sprinting the field while the other started squats (to 250).  Plank until all were done.

Mosey to the lower baseball field parking lot.  One more round of cards, followed by a 50 yard lunge and a 50 yard bearcrawl.

Mosey back to the AO through the construction zone.  The PAX climbed fences, ran over dirt piles and dodged pot-holes en route back to the AO.

P-nut discussed how the cards were an analogy for life.  We are often dealt circumstances and situations that are out of our control, but that we have a constant source of support in Jesus.  Quoted Psalm 119:105 and encouraged the PAX to get into God’s word and let that guide our lives.

P-nut then prayed us out- including a prayer request for Simone, who will be leaving on Tuesday for military service.  The PAX laid hands on Simone and prayed for his safety and bravery.

MOLESKIN
2.1 miles, approximately 200 merkins, a multitude of squats and a TON of spirited mumblechatter (thanks Cap’n, Bandwagon, Crawdad).  Great start to the work week!
