Why do you do what you do?
Examine your motivation for the choices you make, the behaviors you prioritize and the commitments you make. Are you doing things because it’s what you feel like, because it will bring you acclaim or pleasure or money? Is it what the Lord is prompting you to do?
We all have things we have been prompted to do (or to stop) that we consider briefly and then elect to go our own way because it’s easier or because we like our way better. Today, this week, make the choice to do what you know to be right when the prompting comes. And when your passions flare about something, ask yourself why – consider your motivation BEFORE you act.

The PAX was a little smaller than usual, but the men pushed each other and were an encouragement for the VQ. The challenge was adequate, and the men were up to the task. No blood, no tears…but lots of sweat. Aye!

Brotherly Love – “Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” – Galatians 6:10

* Bonds of brotherly love are a big deal to God because they represent the kind of bonds that exists between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
* Men are created to live, work, and fight in bands
* Your bonds of brotherly love should seek to liberate & strengthen and not constrict & consume.

The PAX pushed it today after a successful event beatdown in the push-up challenge from yesterday. Everyone completed at least 210 push-ups to start the day. Great job men!

G6 shared about the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.  He then prayed and we ended with Taps.

MOLESKIN
31 PAX including 1 FNG came out to a gloomy Asylum to get better and honor the men and women who have fallen in battle.  We took on the Team RWB 21 Guns challenge and added some more for good measure (if it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change).  The highlight of the morning was moseying to the East Tennessee Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery.  We made our way to the top of the main hill and circled up for the COT.  Men who have lost friends and family during battle shared their names, branch of service.  We then had our PAX’s own Wardaddy G6, himself retired Air Force, share during the BOM and lead us in prayer.  We ended our time with a moment of silence and the playing of Taps.

It was a great morning.  As men arrived a thick fog settled over the park and it set the mood perfectly.  This was a special morning.  The men went hard and no man was left behind…just as it should be.

“A comfort zone is a beautiful oasis, but nothing ever grows there”

As men and as leaders, we cannot afford to shy away from opportunity just because it lies outside of our comfort zones. Stepping outside your wheelhouse will allow you to expand your skill set, meet new people, and gain new experience.

MOLESKIN
It was a great morning to be outdoors and we had a great PAX. The cool, clear morning had everyone pushing hard and everybody worked up a good sweat by the end of the workout. It was a different experience being in the center of the circle this time but I left feeling very refreshed and ready to take on another day – I hope everyone else did, too.
