CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
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.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
You are either growing or dying. Stepping outside your comfort zone is key to discovering your passion, accomplishing your goals and finding happiness. Start with small steps to get out of your comfort zone to keep growing. “One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” Abraham Maslow

Thanks for the encouragement through my first Q. Felt good to get it out of the way.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“For All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

I’m terrible at remembering scripture.  Actually, I’m terrible at remembering anything unless it has to do with football recruiting.  My goal is to read the Bible AND try to remember scripture.  One reason is because I obviously need to remember the Word but secondly I think it’s so cool when someone rattles off scripture.  I’m actually jealous but this kind of jealous is better than being jealous if someone’s got an awesome car or something.

I truly want to learn AND remember so I will hopefully live my life better AND be able to better share my faith with my kids, friends, and complete strangers when called to do that.  I bought a scripture memory guide book and these three passages are the first three of the Top 144 the book recommends that all Christians memorize.

I know I’ll never remember everything but I certainly won’t if I don’t try!  Let’s encourage each other to continue to try everyday like it’s our last because it could be!

MOLESKIN:

Thank you Proton for EH-ing me into trying F3!  I’ve lost 50 pounds of fat, gained 20 pounds of muscle, made lifelong friends and became more focused on my faith!  Thank all of you for welcoming me in October of 2017 and for welcoming every other FNG who comes along!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“A band of brothers, in the sense that we use the words in this book, is not a meeting, a club, a therapy group, or a self-help society. It is the group of men we do life with. It is the team of brothers committed with us to the cause of great manhood. It is the band of men with whom we build a manly culture of inspiration and achievement.” – Stephen Mansfield, “Building Your Band of Brothers”

MOLESKIN:
F3 is that, a band of brothers and so much more than a club, support group , etc..
