COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

10 men and 1 2.0!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’m thrilled that Shamrock is launching ShieldLock groups.  Behind your wife and kids, these close relationships with men are the most important relationships that you’ll have.  Your SL offers so many benefits – one is perspective.  They can watch your six and alert you to hazards that you can’t even see.

MOLESKIN:

Prayers for Mermaid’s wife’s aunt, Joy.  Prayers for all the kids and teachers doing standardized testing this week.  Prayers for Anchorman and his family as he returns home from a mission trip.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A recently watched Remember the Titans with my 10 y/o.  Note he’s a white male growing up in west Knoxville.  He kept asking me why the characters were behaving the way they were. So, we went down the road of how things “used to be”. But, then we talked about how this movie is about two groups who were different or had different opinions. Today we have more and more groups who are different than ourselves, and we must not let hatred and violence become our way of engaging these folks. They Gettysburg scene in the movie chokes me up every time.

“Anybody know what this place is? This is Gettysburg. This is where they fought the Battle of Gettysburg. Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fightin’ the same fight that we’re still fightin’ amongst ourselves today. This green field right here was painted red, bubblin’ with the blood of young boys, smoke and hot lead pourin’ right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men: ‘I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family.’ You listen. And you take a lesson from the dead. If we don’t come together, right now, on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed — just like they were.I don’t care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other.” https://youtu.be/bFObqUd5uzA

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
15 HIM
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
An empty LaCroix is easily crushed but a filled and sealed LaCroix can withstand at least 240lbs of pressure. As men, we need to be filling ourselves with God’s word, the right relationships, and accountability to others around us. That way when the trials of life come our way we are filled and sealed like a new can of LaCroix that is not easily crushed under the weight of the trials. I am thankful for F3 and the men that are in my life that hold me accountable to not drain down too empty.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

  • Priorities
    • Many think your time reflects your priorities (often true)
    • For many in this circle, your time may not reflect your priorities; it may reflect your lack of priorities or your weakness in setting priorities
    • The squeaky wheel gets my time and attention
    • This is a lack of ability to set boundaries and defend your time
    • Jesus served? Yes – Jesus also prioritized his messages and his actions
    • As HIM we are capable, willing and have the heart to serve in so many ways that we can’t do it all.
    • Do you have an set of priorities well establish that guide your life?
    • Are they reflected in what you DON’T DO as well as what you DO?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The Gospel is God-centered. It’s easy to get away from a God-centered view of life, but according to Matthew 22:37-40, the teachings of the Old Testament in the Bible can be summed up as “love God and love others.”

So let’s go out this week, love God, and show God’s love to others!
