CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The idea for this Word came from Rocket.  Last week, he and I were talking about his knee that he injured in July.  I remarked how he hustled so hard the workout before – racing back to the flag against Mathlete.  I said, “Man, your knee seems to be so much better!”.  Rocket responded, “Well, I’m having just a little bit of pain.  I’m thinking about going to see someone about it – to fix it while it’s little, so that it doesn’t turn into a big deal”.

That’s the Word that I want to think about; Fix it while it’s little, so that it doesn’t turn into a big deal.

Do you have anything in your life that is just a little askew?  A little bad habit?  A little sin?  Something that is not helping you accelerate to be the man you want to be?  Something tiny that you can correct before it becomes a big deal?

  • A little judgmental?
  • A little arrogance?
  • A little jealousy?
  • A little anger?
  • A little lust?

We need to saw these things off while they are little – before they become a big deal.  Because each of these things, when they become full grown – can ruin a man. 

One of the earliest recorded conversations between man and God is in Genesis 4.  Adam and Eve’s sons, Cain and Able, have each made sacrifices to God, but Cain’s is half-hearted.  He becomes envious when God favors his brother’s offering instead of his.  In that heated moment, when Cain is seeing red, God speaks to him and says, “…if you do not do what is right, watch out, because sin is crouching at the door, ready to pounce on you! You must master it before it masters you.” (Genesis 4:7, The Voice translation)

Think about that imagery of sin…crouching, then pouncing.  It makes me think of a lion getting low in the grass so that his prey either does not see him – or if they do, they think he is just a harmless little thing.  Then pounce, the lion is there!

Is there a particular sin in crouching your life?  Either so small that you don’t see it for what it is – or that you think it is just a harmless little thing?  Let’s get the little things in our life under control and fix it while it’s little, so that it doesn’t turn into a big deal”.

“You must master it before it masters you.”  Genesis 4:7

MOLESKIN:

Rejoicing and mourning.  Rejoiced for the birth of Slappy’s BFF’s son.  Mourning the loss of Biohack’s MIL.  Prayers for those families.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: 

Communication-  from my mentor Dr. Michael McIntyre

  1. If someone doesn’t understand you, it’s not their fault — it’s yours.
  2. You can’t explain something you don’t understand, and you don’t understand something you can’t explain.
  3. Use the words your audience uses.
  4. Before you tell someone they’re wrong, tell them they might be right.
  5. The more interested you are, the more interesting you’ll be.
  6. The things you remember saying are different than the things others remember hearing from you.
  7. People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
  8. What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you’re saying.
  9. The tone is the message.
  10. Knowing when to stop talking is a skill.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Herbie and his struggles, and thanks for voicing them…we all have them.  Colonel’s aunt’s new foster kids and all like them need prayers and the struggle for the caregivers that work so hard to provide for them.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
No OYO’s this next week…all together work to help mentally grow us all.  I challenge everyone to keep trying to spread the Word of F3 and bring some more FNG’s to the fold.  Our iron has dulled and we need to be sharper
