CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Patience is a virtue” but not a strong virtue of mine.

Impatience can be defined as a strong serge of animosity toward the weaknesses, faults and failures of others…a bad driver, a long line, a coworker, a spouse or child taking a while to get ready.

Stephen Covey – told a story about a man and his wild kids getting on a subway one Sunday morning; the kids were throwing people’s newspapers, yelling, etc. while the man just just sat there ignoring them. Covey asked the man if we man was going to discipline his kids; the man said his wife, their mother, just died and he guesses the kids aren’t sure how to process her death nor did he. Covey went from irritated to compassionate towards the man.

In situations…Be Patient. Show Empathy.

Remember, we sin every day so God has tremendous patience for us.  We should strive to be patient like him.

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups to invigorate male community leadership. We need to be constantly reminded of our mission so we know who we are and why we’re here. The same is true in your life. What is your mission? Can you articulate your mission clearly?  Probably worth spending some time to craft it, so it rolls off your tongue..

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Live every day like it’s our last, because it could be!

I met with a friend who is a business/time management coach. I shared my struggles to be a great husband, father, friend, etc. while also trying to develop a small cancer charity into a leader in the region and state.  She challenged me to come up with a personal mission statement and develop SMART goals for the 1st quarter of 2018 which includes both personal and professional goals.

While I’m just starting my potential 1st quarter goals now, my “current” working mission statement is:

I will spend quality time with those I love while exercising my mind, body and spirit so to fulfill my purpose of leaving our world better than I found it.

I encouraged everyone to think about their own goals and impact.

MOLESKIN:

18 PAX showed up for work today, welcome to FNG Quaker!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sunday’s message has stuck in my mind this week.  The topic was faith and putting trust in God for both the big things like salvation and the little things that bring us anxiety or worry.  The phrase that hung in my mind was “practicing” trust.  If we are not intentional about where we place that trust on a day-to-day basis, our natural tendency is to trust ourselves or something that we can see.  We get together in the mornings to stress ourselves physically, training our bodies to respond to the demand.  Spiritually, it’s only through intentional practice of continually turning things over to God that we can train our stress response to do the same.  Search your heart for any areas where your trust is placed elsewhere, and surrender those to Him.
MOLESKIN:
Good shoulder content today… The DP Pax may be a little too uptight for the breakdancing.  Or maybe they just need more practice!.
