CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

1 John 4:18 – There is no fear in love.  But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.  The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Today will most likely be the final time I Q in F3 Knoxville.  This week, my wife and I will be moving to the Atlanta Metro area to start a new chapter in our lives.  As the verse says above, we do not fear this change and are looking forward to it because everything has worked out how it was meant to.  The process for us to get to this point our lives has been very frustrating and stressful at times.  However, if things hadn’t worked out the way they did, I would have never been exposed to F3 and had the opportunity to meet and get better with all of you over the last few months.  For that, I am extremely grateful and consider myself lucky to have had that opportunity.

MOLESKIN:

Bonus points to Judge Judy and Spotter for joining me on the preruck!  I encourage some new people to give the preruck a shot.

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:
Consider what Cain’s response to God when He asked him “where is your brother”.  Cain responded with “Am I my brother’s keeper”.  God does call us to be our brother’s keeper.  The Word today is to pay attention to those around you and take note of changes in behavior.  Be an encouragement to others in their time of struggle.
MOLESKIN:
A lot of mubblechatter today about the “lazy Q”.  I started the workout by stating that I did put much time into the Q.  All in good fun.
