    CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
    As men, some of us have anger issues frequently, while most of us have anger issues at least some of the time.   We must learn to control our anger.  Anger is not a bad thing in itself.  It tells us something is wrong.  We need to logically fix what is wrong, go to others for help, or pray to God about the matter. What we don’t need to do is become hostile or lose control of our emotions.  Through prayer and truly asking God to work with us, we can overcome anger issues.  We can also go to our brothers if we have an anger issue and ask for their guidance and help.ANNOUNCEMENTS:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Push yourself in F3 to not only get stronger, faster and better out there but in all life. There have been studies that working out makes the mind sharper. Also reports that those that start their days early are more productive. I find when I push myself out here I smile more I feel more energetic throughout the day and I perform better in daily life just taking the groceries in or digging a hole in the back yard. Push through the temporary discomfort to grow and see what you are really capable of.

BOM
F3 has always been and will always be more than a workout.  We definitely want to push ourselves and each other physically, but we also want to grow relationally and spiritually.  The PAX is unique in many ways, one being that we are not out here to compete against each other, but collaborate together to grow as husbands, fathers, sons, employees, employers, friends, and neighbors.  We are bound together under a high power for a greater purpose.

MOLESKIN
Alcoa will never be the same.  The PAX came hungry, focused and ready for to push hard and get better…together!  The Bomb Shelter is a incredible AO that will be keeping the HIMs of Alcoa/Maryville busy for a long time.  It was a honor to lead and be a part of this PAX.  I have a feeling we are going to see some good things from these men.
