CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

http://bible.com/59/1ti.4.8.esv

We are saved by grace, but we should be just as (or more) intentional towards growing in Godliness as we are towards growing in physical fitness. This doesn’t mean start fartsacking more often. It means learn from how you are able to focus on physical fitness, to stop fartsacking on your relationship with God.

FISH ON! As we grow, its about getting more FNGs out to join F3. That does not mean your all over the sadclown with lots of pessure to join us. Sometimes, its just throwing the line out from time to time, let the sadclown swim around the bait for a while. Eventually a sadclown gets hungry and takes the bait! Once hooked, reel them in and keep them!

BOM:
First line in a great book called A Purpose Driven Life is….
Its not about you.
Quit being the center of your universe.
Stop thinking what do I want, what do I need, what can I get out of this.
Today’s society is all about me.

This week think about how you are putting yourself in front of others. Your wife…your kids….your neighbor.
Change where you are in line.

Moleskin:  it was a little chaotic today, at first but the teams showed good teamwork by sharing the load on the mosey. It’s always a blessing for me to come out to the asylum and spend time with this crew. Great job today by all, sorry about the phone glitches and throwing the BOM out of order.

    CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
    As men, some of us have anger issues frequently, while most of us have anger issues at least some of the time.   We must learn to control our anger.  Anger is not a bad thing in itself.  It tells us something is wrong.  We need to logically fix what is wrong, go to others for help, or pray to God about the matter. What we don’t need to do is become hostile or lose control of our emotions.  Through prayer and truly asking God to work with us, we can overcome anger issues.  We can also go to our brothers if we have an anger issue and ask for their guidance and help.ANNOUNCEMENTS:
    3rd F at Outlook on December 9, 8:15 AM to 9:00 AM, immediately after Saturday Morning Workout at Big Ball.  Special Workout tomorrow in Mechanicsville at 2:00 PM , leading youth living near that area.  See announcement on group me.
