How can we help those around us? The people we know, that we don’t know, our families, people we see every day, people we’ve met for the first time: how can we lift them up? Well, just keep it simple, stupid and get back to the basics: encourage one another. Encourage in their struggles, in their strengths, hardships, celebrations. Something as small as “you’re doing a great job, keep it up” can make all the difference in someone’s day.

Support scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11; Hebrews 3:12,13

MOLESKIN
The 12 PAX brought plenty of chatter with them to start off their Friday morning. Encouragement throughout the workout was present and very needed as we all struggled thinking of a total of 275 BBS at the end! Welcome Snowden! Looks like rain later in the day, glad we beat it and got better together.

Just Keep Moving…

As men we are created to be life-givers, not life-takers.  YHC has found that over the last few weeks my desires have morphed into demands.  This has caused me to be judgemental with my family and led me to punish them when I don’t feel like they are performing up to snuff.  This also has the unexpected side-effect of making me feel hollow inside.  After reflecting with a mentor I realized that I was demanding my “rights” rather than fulfilling my responsibilities.  A sense of significance and purpose doesn’t come from getting what we want, but giving what others need.  This small shift has cause a major turn around.  Jesus meant it when he said it is in loosing our lives that we actually find it!

Small PAX this morning, but it was sweet time of pushing ourselves and each other.  It was nice to have a visitor from Columbia (Alter Boy)!  Thanks for stopping by brother…you are welcome any time.

The stars were glimmering in all their majesty this morning as I drove through the gates of splendor at the Asylum. The warm fuzzies quickly dissipated with the collision of my face to the famous East Tennessee Humidity. Even at 5am, it’ll knock your teeth out.

YHC read from John 8:12.  He talked about the iconic Sunsphere and how it represented “energy” in the 1982 World’s Fair.  This passage from John encourages us to be a “light” to the world…and we should be lights in our community, our workplace, our church and our home.

YHC then prayed us out.

Wow!  31 PAX participated in the inaugural beat-down at the World’s Fair Park.  Lots of spirited mumblechatter and laughter.  This location offers much for future workouts, including lots of fields, stairs, water and greenway routes.

This AO will help us reach potential PAX both downtown and in East Knoxville.  No sadclown or fartsacker is safe in Knoxville, men.  Let’s keep it going.
