CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Live in the now, think about how you’ll react in a situation prior to the situation. Later today is not guaranteed, nor is tomorrow. My whole life I can look back at moments where I thought highly of someone, example is a junior high kid my role modles were the HS Varsity Basketball Players, that day came and left, then it was college athletes, and pro athletes…and now reflecting on that, they are young kids…with hopefully a long life ahead of them…What i’m getting at is no day is guaranteed. Over the past month, we have seen 8yr old kids being murdered, Fathers and Brothers committing suicide, and several pedestrians struck by vehicles. My point here is that even at the age of 60+ when you think you have made it (or at least in my eyes) past all the “crazy days” or “tough times” your life is not guaranteed another day…Be Godly, Be active, Contemplate prior to your actions to help with the reflection of your actions….
MOLESKIN:
Love the JUCO Men…It’s an honor to be able to lead and endure with you all.  Thanks for having me!

This was my last Q before moving to Greenville, SC. F3 has meant so much to me, and I’m blessed to be a part of such a great AO and region. I’m looking forward to coming back and visiting when I’m in town to visit my in-laws.

Prayer requests for different family members and a friend going through a life crisis. Pray that God brings his comfort and peace and uses these situations to bring people to himself.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 HIMs showed up to get better at JUCO this morning.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“WWJD” Many of us remember when the “What Would Jesus Do” fad happened in the 90’s. Although the fad was more about collecting bracelets and trying to look cool, the words are just as true today as they ever have been. We should consider this phrase every time we make a decision.

Romans 13:14

“But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.”

MOLESKIN:
Trolley’s beatdown on Wednesday was still fresh, so today’s workout was intended to allow each HIM to move at their own speed.
