CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
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 hear people talking about Christmas in July every year and they seem happy thinking about the euphoria that they feel at Christmas time and the food they want to eat and the presents and, of course, the sales. When Christmas time rolls around, you’ll hear people talking about “the reason for the season” and they will try to focus on Christ. I don’t hear people saying that in July. Statistically, church attendance goes down in the summer months as people go on vacation and focus on having kids home from school and places to go and people to see. I haven’t seen any statistics on this, but I imagine that prayer declines in the summer months as well. Christmas and Easter are the two most important days for a Christian. The day our savior was born, and the day that He gave his life on the cross for us. Just because those are the two most important days does not mean that we should be slacking the rest of the year. To me, Christmas in July is a reminder that we should be preparing ourselves to meet Christ. We need to focus throughout the entire year to get ready for his coming, not just two days.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
14 men.  We picked up a Flying EH who was our FNG.  He is Brian Pitstick whom we named “Sparkler.”
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God made us.  We stand naked before God.  He knows every inch of us and knows everything about us.  So, why hide information from God?  When you pray, when you talk to God, reveal it all, everything.  He sees it anyway but wants a relationship with you and wants you to talk to Him about it.  He is there for you.  He understands you.  He loves you.  You need not hide from Him.
