COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Positive Thinking / Positivity is a current leadership trend and buzz word.  If you take it serious and not as Pollyanna (“an excessively or blindly optimistic person”) there are great habits and leadership skills that can be learned. Don’t just be positive, when life is easy. If you stay positive when life is hard it’s not Pollyanna. It’s about trusting God, overcoming obstacles, finding a way forward, and believing the best is yet to come!  Many COT’s provided by F3 HIM’s will give you fuel to stay positive.  The one thing that has really helped me to create a positive environment with my family is to Pray Continuously – what that means is that when you know it is about to erupt – stop for 2 seconds and say a prayer – pray for words, humility, and patience, it works – I always wondered how to Pray Continuously and by starting when I knew things might erupt I learned.

I encourage you (this means it’s really for me!) to take a 23 day challenge up to Christmas (this is practice for the Woodshack eating challenge), you don’t have to commit to eating better just try to do one “Positive” thing for the next 23 days … Truly Spread the Spirit of Christmas, Smile first, say thank you more, open the door for everyone, choose faith and not fear – Pray Continuously.

MOLESKIN:
Special thanks to Mr Jinky for getting me into F3 (it took persistence, but I am forever grateful) and Abscess the “fake gloomers” that got me hooked on F3 and for coming all the way out to the Dog Pound (my AO home) in the early morning hours.  Only true friends/HIMs do this for their fellow brother.

Also, special thanks for La-Z-Boy for putting on the Q101 a few weeks ago, that was an EH for me to step up to the Q plate.  For those that have not Q’d yet, do it sooner rather then later, you’ll be glad you did.  And don’t worry you won’t remember most of the work-out, you will only remember the great support of F3 HIM!

Thanksgiving the Holiday was 1st put into place by George Washington for day of  “Public Thanksgiving and Prayer”. He called it a day devoted to “the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.” Abraham Lincoln made it a Federal Holiday. He called it a national day of “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.” — Let’s treat today as our own day of Thanksgiving and Prayer. Start a tradition or start a new one. Enjoy your families.

MOLESKIN:
We didn’t quite make 3 rounds of the Thanksgiving Feast. Mumblechatter was A+ today – You could tell the boys were excited to see Gus. We all thought the world of Tank for coming out in a neckbrace this morning to tough it out with us. Thanks for being brave Tank.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
on this Thanksgiving eve, we can all find many things to be thankful for, many of them simply because of the country were fortunate enough to be born in. From our health to the food we will be blessed with this Thanksgiving to the Men we surround ourselves with in F3 and so on. Ultimately, being thankful is about the mindset of being conscious of what we have and what surrounds us and giving thanks for that as opposed to comparing our lives to others (coveting thy neighbor) and striving to acquire more and more material objects.

“Ephesians 5:20 New International Version (NIV)
20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
MOLESKIN:
Apologies to those 3 prayer requests that were mentioned. My short term memory loss strikes again.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
