CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

http://bible.com/59/1ti.4.8.esv

We are saved by grace, but we should be just as (or more) intentional towards growing in Godliness as we are towards growing in physical fitness. This doesn’t mean start fartsacking more often. It means learn from how you are able to focus on physical fitness, to stop fartsacking on your relationship with God.

Keep ya’head up!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
All I had to share this morning with the PAX was a quick reminder that as men, people look to us to set the tone, and we need to remember that and set a positive one.  A smile helps spread more smiles.
MOLESKIN:
It was that kind of morning.  As the PAX assembled, Abacus hit the lights and it was apparent that Shooter was still in the #fartsack.   I dug up an oldie-but-a-goodie and then had to tell @Tank #whatsup as he tried to jump in my ‘Q takeover.  😉  He’s on-Q tomorrow anyway…  The PAX didn’t know what to expect, and as @Mayberry pointed out I had to blow the dust off….but we got the work done and I think the PAX missed some of the exercises I brought back out.  #bottomline we kept moving and broke a solid sweat.  Thanks men!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes you’re in the middle of a crap storm.  That’s us this week.  Nothing terrible or life-threatening, just a bunch of stuff piling on top of each other. I don’t have much today beyond an admonition to myself that may hopefully resonate with you.  Just keep trusting God with everything.  That means all of it, not “do what you can do and leave the rest to Him”.  He has it all, not just the stuff that you think is beyond you.
MOLESKIN:
Never did Hand Release Derkins before.  I believe I actually preferred the burpees…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We tend to make judgements about people based on our preconceived notions of who a black person a trans person a Muslim person any person is. Why do we do this? What is the point? Why can’t we just love and accept who people are?

John 15:17 says

“This is my command: Love each other.”

1 John 4:8 says

“But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”

As someone relatively on the outside of religion, when I hear the hateful words coming from leaders and others who claim to be godly, it makes me think I don’t want any part of religion. So I plead with you who do proselytize your faith to set a better example. The example of Christ to love everyone.

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked to the PAX about the joy I have seen this week as I drop off my daughter at school. “New” safety patrol students for next year do the job with joy, fear, excitement, and a willingness to please. The “mentor” safety patrol offers advise and help and tips. It’s awesome. We need to be more like the safety patrol students- eager to try new things, eager to listen to the help being offered, eager to step out of our comfort zone. We need to be like the mentors- eager to offer sound advise and help. PAX challenged to either open car doors, mentor, or both and do it all with joy and excitement!
MOLESKIN:
Dudes got afternit today! It was cool to see the Rucker’s and hook up with them for the BOM!
