This week has been eye opening for me with employee’s family members passing or having sudden major health issues. I’ve listened to me struggle with their emotions as they process through what is happening. I often take for granted my family. I pondered that yesterday as I went home from work.

Remember, life is short and death is looming for us all. Cherish those around you for you don’t know when your time is up.

WORD

Use your talents for God’s work. 1 Peter 4:10 says “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in it various forms”. When we take the talent and gifts that God provided us with to benefit others we are fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives. If we float through life and do not use these talents then we are disregarding God’s perfect will for our lives.

In Freed to lead a Sad Clown has 3 holes that need to be filled. First is Pogo 40 where a man loses 40 lbs, just to gain it back, to lose it again, and to gain it back. The Sifter has to do with loneliness. A man has is Legacy Friends from High School and College, goes on Man Dates and has some work friends. This is a problem because we lack accountability. An acquaintance will not tell you when you’re backsliding. The last is The Reacher. It’s about a man who drifts aimlessly without real purpose. The only way to have real purpose is for a man to abandon himself and faith in something that he cannot see.
As men it’s alway easier to help someone than it is to accept help. No matter what we’re going through, there is either someone who has gone through it, is going through it now, or will go through something similar. We have to remember that when we allow someone to help us, we’re also giving them the opportunity to help us.

The parable of the sower

“Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭4:16-17‬ ‭

Persecution, strife, pain, struggle and trials in our lives will come. So what do we do? Will we wither away or will we dig in with our roots?

James 1:2-3 says

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”

Push through Physically and mentally with faith in our God who strengthens us. Pray. Read his word, lean on your brothers and do not give up.

Our Championship Belt is waiting on us in heaven!

Moleskin:

Great work by the PAX today, I saw some men pushing themselves to get better. Here is some F3 math for you…

17 men + a large Octagon shape + moaning and grunting + CMUs + private parking lot= cops being called

Who better to diffuse the situation than Mayberry!

BOM
“And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9:27-29‬ ‭ESV‬‬
Why would anyone ask God to do something and not believe He could do it? Why would Jesus ask them that question? He was standing right in front of them, they knew He had healed others, why wouldn’t they believe that He was able to do it?

How does this play out with us? We just don’t bother asking. We go about life doing our own thing. We all know the scripture “God helps those who help themselves,” right? Except that’s not a scripture, it’s an old Greek teaching popularized by Ben Franklin. Start inviting Him into your daily decision making…and see what happens. When you come up against a big one, and you hear the question echo through your mind, “do you believe I can do this”…lean in
Moleskin
The Merdipkin 11’s were brutal, but the men hammered it out…just about left me in the dust. The hard work in the cool with a storm threatening the entire time was the definition of working in the gloom.
