Get in the habit of taking out the Garbage.  Get into the habit of confessing sin to your brothers.  Don’t let it build up and fester in your heart.  God gives Grace the the humble.  1 John 9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a rightb spirit within me.
11Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

BOM
Iron sharpens iron is more than just a tag line, it is the heart of what F3 is all about.  Each man, by being part of the PAX, on any given morning is choosing to reject passivity and accept responsibility for himself and the men on his left and right. That is the “secret sauce” of F3.  It is what helps men to see growth in their own lives and impact the world around them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Control – There is very little in life that we truly have control of. You and I don’t know what’s going to happen next. We don’t have a clue what will be on our plates next week. Honestly facing your lack of control over your own life produces either anxiety or relief. Anxiety is God-forgetting. It is the result of thinking that life is on your shoulders, that it is your job to figure it all out and keep things in order. If you fall into this way of thinking, your life will be burdened with worry and your heart will be filled with dread. But there is a much better way. It is God-remembering. It rests in the relief that although it may not look like it, your life is under the careful control of One who defines wisdom, power, and love.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Forgiveness – I read a devotional on forgiveness a few weeks.  The author encouraged to pray and ask if there was anyone in your life that you needed to forgive.  Even though I really didn’t think of anything I needed to forgive I prayed about it anyway and realized there was something I had been holding on to.

Matthew 6:14-15                                                                                                                              For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

From Full House                                                                                                              @Bunny Here’s a good article on forgiveness to go w your forgiveness BOM. If anyone isn’t aware of All Pro Dads, it’s a pretty cool organization that Tony Dungy started and supports.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We need each other. Don’t let yourself be isolated by the Enemy. One of the ways the Enemy tries to destroy you is by putting bitterness in your heart towards another Brother or HIM. We have to fight that as men by pressing into the pain of a difficult conversation to reconcile, or by rubbing shoulders with other HIMs when we feel like being a Lone Ranger.
MOLESKIN:
The BOM was taken largely from Wild At Heart by John Eldridge.
