CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes we need help to get through tough situations. Family is there for us no matter what, but sometimes family is more than just blood relations. Even Moses needed help to hold up his staff for the Israelites to win the battle, even with God on their side. Trust in your family and your chosen family to lift you up when needed.

MOLESKIN:
4 takeaways for today:

  1. Accountability – Hold one another accountable to make it out here. Encourage one another to get better and be better. Hold one another accountable in our regular lives outside our workout times as well.
  2. Q! Sign up to Q! Everyone has the ability, wherewithal and capacity to do it. We can help. You can do it.
  3. Mend House – Come out and post with these guys on Wednesdays at 6pm. They’re a great group of guys to workout with and we all benefit from being around one another.
  4. Give Back – Give back to the AOs where you post. Volunteer for a cleanup day or help do things around the park / school / etc. I know we can definitely help the Lions Club keep FC Park clean and running well for everyone to use.
    ANNOUNCEMENTS:
    Chili cook-off tonight 6-8pm at Fort Loudoun Yacht Club. Reach out to Rusty or Doubtfire for more info.

From “Building Your Band of Brothers” by Stephen Mansfield:

“These were the commitments that bound men together centuries ago. The lived open, accountable, dutiful lives. They were connected. They had roles to play, jobs to do. They were devoted to a people-Their people.”

We are the same. We have a responsibility to our community and families as well.
