CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Jinxy talked about the need to take charge and dedicate ourselves to those we love.  Life is short.  We never know when our time to leave this Earth will come.  It would be nice to know that we leave, having impacted others with our love, with our care, with our service rather than leave with others saying, “well he worked hard and made a good living.”

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!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Five men.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Discussed contemplative prayer.  It is different than prayer that we might otherwise practice.  Words may not be said, but instead we focus on God, thinking of perhaps just one thing, such as His power, glory or grace.  We may also repeat one prayer thought during the day as we go about our business of living.  An example might be saying silently to oneself, “God, thank you for your loving grace” occasionally throughout the day.  In this way, we are more likely to experience God throughout the day, not forgetting His presence in our lives.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Through F3 we learn that it takes commitment, discipline and encouragement to achieve our goal of becoming healthier men.  In our relationship with God, we also need commitment, discipline and encouragement.  If we want to grow closer to God, we should not just sit around and wait for it to happen.  Jesus says in Matthew 16:24, “if anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross to follow me.”  We must discipline and push ourselves through solitude time with God, through reading scripture, through prayer, through worship.  And while solitude time with God is important, we also need encouragement.  That comes through spending time in worship with our brothers and sisters.  As Jesus said, He is there “wherever two or more are gathered in my name.”

Everyone wants to make New Year’s resolutions and those imo are pointless.  Resolutions are a hopeful map that leads to disappointment.  As HIM’s at home, work, our workouts, etc. we have to focus on intentionality and specific goals to have the right direction toward our purpose as leaders in our respective homes and environments.
