Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:9‭-‬10‭, ‬12 ESV

MOLESKIN:
The workout was a reminder of Navy Seal Chad Wilkinson who committed suicide.  Many men today have Adversity they are facing and without a true sense of community of men to help them overcome so they can be the best version of themselves that God has planned for them.

F3 is just this to be there for other HIM so we don’t lose anymore.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Everyone read the latest newsletter from Kickflip? If not, he has been releasing them every Sunday morning and I highly recommend that you give them a read. This week I was challenged by what I read to make a few changes in my COT.  

In my COT’s I try to be motivational, encouraging, and point you all to Christ in some way. Today will be different. I am going to share one of my biggest struggles as a man, as a husband, and as a father. I struggle with anger. If I am not careful, I will let it get the best of me, and I lash out at those I love. I am going to use this newsletter as a springboard to be more open and honest with you guys. I think mostly we come here to be an encouragement to each other but we haven’t reached the point where we are honest about our weaknesses. I have more, but today it’s anger that’s on my mind. 

The root of my anger is selfishness. My M will ask me for a favor, the. Another, then another, then another, and before you know it, I blow up. Or, Super Soaker needs some help while I am working on something, or “resting”, and I grumble at him and let him know I am too busy. I have prioritized my needs over theirs, and that isn’t right. It should be God first, others second, and me third. 

The root of my selfishness is pride. My pride gets in the way when I begin to think that my needs are more important, and I begin to prioritize myself or my needs over anyone else’s. 

The goal I should have in my heart is to be more like Christ each day. “He must increase, I must decrease”. 

“‘The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression,’”

Numbers 14:18 ESV

“A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.”

Proverbs 15:18 ESV

MOLESKIN:
Couldn’t have been a better day in the gloom. We welcomed THREE FNG’s today. Welcome Slider, Candy Crush, and Baskin!
