CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Proverbs 24
1 Judge impartially
To show partiality in judging is not good’ (v.23b). For those who judge justly, ‘rich blessing will come upon them’ (v.25).
2 Speak honestly
An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips’ (v.26). Sometimes it is hard to speak the truth in love, but we need to be honest with one another. The best answer you can give to any question asked is an honest one!
3 Stay loyal
Don’t talk about your neighbours behind their backs – no slander or gossip, please’ (v.28, MSG). Anyone can stay true to your face but it is the people who stay true behind your back that really count.
4 Show restraint
The temptation to pay back those who have done us harm is very great. However, the writer of Proverbs warns against taking revenge: ‘Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me; I’ll pay them back for what they did”’ (v.29).
5 Work hard
The book of Proverbs often warns against laziness. ‘A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest – and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man’ (vv.33–34).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talking about the “Sin of Passivity” and taking initiative.  Being a leader.  That often times we know how to lead at work or lead a home improvement project, but we don’t take initiative to lead at home.  Initiate in conversations, in our finances, initiate with our children and wives, and most importantly initiate a conversation with our Creator.

Challenge to think of 4 ways to Initiate This week…

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Seven strong today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I saw a video on Social Media featuring Nick Saban talking about Mental Toughness.  He defined Mental Toughness as “What does it take to break you?”  Are you frustrated, what does it take to make you give in? Is it too hot.  Do you have a little knock?  Does that break you?  Does it make you lose focus?

The video made me think about other areas of my life.  What is it that the kids can do to break you?  (“Just get in the CAR!”)  What does it take to make you give in on being a Dad for a minute/hour/rest of the day?  Make you check out mentally? What makes you frustrated at work, makes you lose focus and take it out on someone else?

I don’t have any quick fixes – no medicine that can give you more Mental Toughness.  It’s all about self-discipline.  That thing that makes you come out early and do first F.  I think that F3 can help you to exercise your mental toughness muscle so that when the time comes you have the discipline to do what you need to do, when you’re supposed to do it, the way it’s supposed to get done.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be patient and a good example for your kids (and any younger than you for that matter).  I know I struggle on a regular basis with keeping my cool when trying to get the kids to listen and do as they are told.  I wanted to simply remind everyone this morning how much children model our behavior.  They will very likely lash out if that is what we do every time we get a little impatient and frustrated.  Take a step back, breath, and collect your thoughts before you respond.
MOLESKIN:
I really appreciate the opportunity to lead the PAX this morning for my first F3 Knoxville Q.  Thanks for sticking with me through the workout.  I look forward to my next Q.
