Pledge of Allegiance

Don’t wish away the days.  Was reminded yesterday how quickly time passes as I sat through my 5th graders graduation. Seems like just yesterday that he was two.

Cherish the moments in life you have. Don’t look back and wish you had done more.

P-nut reminded everyone of the business that surrounds them in everyday life. Work, stress, hurt and worldly pursuits can distract us from our purpose. We need to elevate our thinking and focus on Christ to help us become better men. Get out of the world and into Jesus.  P-nut prayed us out.

MOLESKIN
Lots of spirited mumblechatter on this unseasonably chilly May morning. Good vibes from good men.

BOM
The opposite of manhood isn’t womanhood, it’s boyhood (1 Corinthians 10:11 – When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.).  The difference between manhood and boyhood is not a sense of fun and zest for life, it’s maturity.  We don’t want to loose the joy of living, but the world…our loved ones…NEED us to be men.  The need us to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, expect a greater reward…God’s reward.  Each morning at F3 we come together to get better physically, mentally and spiritually in the context of other men.  Men teach us how to be better men, so keep coming and keep giving!

MOLESKIN
The Knoxville PAX loves to kick off the week with a bang!  Monday’s are usually well attended and this morning was no different.  Everyone showed up ready to get better.  It was a great morning…I would expect nothing less.  AYE!!

Strength and Honor,
Cap’n Crunch
