There is no way I would have got out of bed if it wasn’t for the accountability factor of the PAX. If there’s anything you want to succeed find someone will hold you accountable to growth.
MOLESKIN:

Great response for the new AO Launch at The Equalizer (formerly known as Carl Cowan Park).

Brief rundown on the history of Carl Cowan and his fight for equality in Knoxville. Change is inevitable, be ready, get ready, be in charge of the change you want in your life. Evolve- do not be the same man you were last year, 5 years ago… be better.

F3 Knoxville experienced change today- new AO & it was a wonderful morning.

MOLESKIN:
S/O to Frosty, Mayberry, Junk, and Abacus for being with us in the SuperOcho/NirvanaNine quest. Awesome work men! We welcomed “Central Park” to the group and he came in with some respect!

We prayed for Landline and his family as they transition to St. Thomas. Yes, the Virgin Islands. Godspeed brother!

We prayed for Sliderule and his family and for Abacus’ Aunt.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I encourage you brothers to go!  Find an adventure!  Do big what you don’t know or haven’t done before.

Don’t be like me – stuck in the familiar; losing my sense of adventure; forgetting the joy and power adventure brings to life.

Be “Wild at Heart” as John Eldredge describes it.

….and share it (the adventure and your wildness) with your loved ones and kids.

….so they won’t forget – your adventures together and how to be wild at heart themselves.
MOLESKIN:
Be in prayer for @Slide Rule and his family, as the Lord called his mother home this week.
