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.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The Equalizer will meet on Saturdays only for now but vibe was to expand the schedule. More info soon. Coffeteria at Dunkin Donuts was only letdown of the morning. New spot coming next week.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Talked about keeping good habits in place.  The past 3 weeks have been chaotic for me:  vacation, family in town, etc.  It’s all led to bad food choices, bad sleep choices, less workouts than usual, and just general laziness.   It always surprises me just how little it takes for life to get in the way of my healthy habits.  I always think I won’t be affected, but I always am to some degree.  Be cognizant of the good habits you’ve developed in your life and work to keep them a priority:  time with your family, your diet, your daily quiet time, your exercise routine, your sleep.

MOLESKIN:

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 in attendance, including “the Gibbler” @Gibbler.  Does this mean that Gibbler posts mileage under Dog Pound or Asylum?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Prompted by Tweet-E’s revelatory insight from the prior night’s power outage at his home (and mine), I was prompted to reflect and pray during Tha-Thang about God’s command to “abide” in Him and “be still.” Of course, it was hard to be still while running, but the point is not “be motionless,” but “be focused on God.”

How rarely I stop, clear my mind,  focus on the greatness, glory, worthiness, omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, sovereignty, might, love, etc… of God and just “be still.”  Even in the me-time, I run with headphones in, distracting myself, or bury my face in a screen or page.

If you are like me, I was encouraged to be still even while moving.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I spent 5 days on a road trip with my 8 year old son, and while I thought I would teach him a lot of things, he is the one that taught me some stuff.  I wish we could all see the world through an 8 year old’s eyes.  The things we see everyday and ignore or take for granted, or don’t give God credit for are amazing.  I know I don’t always say the right things, do the right things, or take the time to just let God work in me and let me see His creation as He intended.  But seeing it through my sons eyes I do get to see it.  I encourage each of you to go out and see the world better, treat the world better, and make the world better.

MOLESKIN:
Our man Steam ventured into the Dog Pound for the first time and brought an FNG Dinger along with him.  Glad to have you both in the gloom.
