CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
While rucking at Concord Trails a week or so ago, I encountered a fox along the trail. The fox was off in the distance and I did what any badass F3 man would have done- I quickly turned around and thought the fox was going to eat me alive. As I reflected on this, a few thoughts came to mind. First, how many fox attacks do we hear about? Zero. Secondly, we fear many things that are truly not the big of a deal or we can easily overcome. Don’t be afraid of the fox.

MOLESKIN:
Doubtfire locked down two more hood recruits. It was great to have Fur Coat and Pirate out with us this morning. Pfeiffer and Mayberry set the pace on the 4-Corners this morning. The entire PAX pushed it too the limit and it was a fun morning. Now, we eagerly await the “devil’s dandruff” to blanket all of K-town!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The mission of F3 is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups to invigorate male community leadership. We need to be constantly reminded of our mission so we know who we are and why we’re here. The same is true in your life. What is your mission? Can you articulate your mission clearly?  Probably worth spending some time to craft it, so it rolls off your tongue..

It’s Only Cold If You Stop Moving…

COT/BOM
Memento Mori (Latin: “remember that you have to die” is the medieval Latin Christian theory and practice of reflection on mortality, especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits.

Psalm 90:12 – “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”

Life is a gift and stewardship, given to each of us for the benefit of others.  We are blessed as we are a blessing where we are.  Choose to live fully today, choose to be a life-giver wherever you are.

 

MOLESKIN
Every since day one the men of Alcoa get it!  They never disappoint and are poised to leave a huge mark in 2018.  TCLAPs brothers…onward and upward!!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A reminder of how we should use what we know to share our faith.   Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves? It’s easy if we just talk about our own personal experiences.  We can’t go wrong, so don’t back away from sharing what God has done in your life with others.

MOLESKIN:
Bonus points to Fins who was dealing with a bum foot today.  He kept the pace and stayed busy with all kinds of extra credit moves while not able to run.  It was motivating to watch him not let an injury slow him down.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Coffeeteria at Starbucks for those who could make it.
