CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Grateful for F3 for what it’s provided to my life. I joined with F3 in Churham, NC, then we moved up to DC in early 2018. At that point F3 did not exist in DC, but there was a small group trying to get it started. Once I joined that group, I had instant friends for support. F3 became live in DC the summer of 2018, and we now have 9 AOs running 7 days a week.

If you’re ever traveling up in DC or northern VA, please hit me up. Would love for you guys to post with us, before Covid we’d have weekly DR PAX posting from all over the country.

Very grateful to post with you guys, to learn more about Knoxville and to see the sunrise over downtown. Truly Amazing, very grateful.

Pfeiffer ended with a group prayer.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared the other magazine/paper clip that I carry in my wallet.  A few weeks ago I shared the one that I have been carrying around for 50+ years.  This one is relatively new; it came from the newspaper in January 1999.

“America first proclaimed its independence on the basis of self-evident truths.  America will remain a beacon of freedom for the world as long as it stands by those moral truths which are the very heart of its historical experience.  And so America:  If you want peace, work for justice.  If you want justice, defend life.  If you want life, embrace truth – truth revealed by God.”              Pope John Paul II, St. Louis, MO  January 1999

Excellent words to ponder.

    Ps. 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Over the last several months I have greatly dropped off the amount of time I have spent reading the Word. This is just like walking down a dark path/hallway with a flashlight in my pocket but being to lazy or preoccupied with something else to pull it out and use it to know where to go/what to do. God has given us an incredible privilege and blessing of being able to hear Him speak every day, anytime we want to by giving us his Word. Read it and listen to Him!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

As I was creating the beatdown Friday and prior to laying down for bed I had asked the Lord to provide me with the words to share for the men that would be there in the morning. When my alarm went off and I grabbed my phone from the night stand Ephesians 4:31-32 was showing as a notification. As I saw this and began to dig into it a bit more I had realized the next 2 verses were along the same content/message and took this as a sign.  I shared and spoke a bit to the following verses with the men Saturday:

Ephesians 4:31-32: Let all bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander be removed from you, along with all malice. And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:15: See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.

Hebrews 12:14: Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness – without it no one will see the Lord.

MOLESKIN:
Shout out to multiple groups of Men out getting better Saturday morning; Including Archie and Erector running a 12 miler and Snorkel, Cap-n-crunch, Woodshack, A-rod, and Fast-n-Easy for a 10 mile ruck beatdown! Good stuff brothers!
