CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,” Romans‬ ‭5:3-4‬

“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭

When we go through difficult times in our life we can have peace and hope through Jesus. No matter what you have faced, are facing, or are going to face hold onto the promises of God.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In December 2012 a long distance race was taking place in Navarra, Spain. Ivan Fernandez Anaya of Spain was competing in the event as was Abel Mutai of Kenya. Late in the race, Abel was in the lead with Ivan a distance behind him. The race was just about finished when Ivan noticed that Abel began to slow down as he neared the finish line. Since Abel did not speak Spanish, it seems he got confused by the signs and thought he had already passed the finish line. Ivan saw what was happening and could have run past his opponent to win the race.

Instead of going on to win the race, Ivan guided Abel ahead to the finish line. Ivan came in second.  In that split second, Ivan showed what a true gentleman he was. He exemplified good sportsmanship and human kindness.

When questioned after the race about why he had pointed Abel towards the finish line, Ivan said: “I didn’t let him win, he was going to win. The race was his.  I was not supposed to catch him.  He was the rightful winner. He created a gap that I couldn’t have closed if he hadn’t made a mistake. As soon as I saw he was stopping, I knew I wasn’t going to pass him.”
Ivan also said: “My dream is that one day we can have some sort of community life where we push ourselves and also others to win.”

When pressed by a journalist about why he didn’t take the win since he was seconds away from the finish line, he replied: “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?  What would my Mom think of that?”

Values are transmitted from generation to generation. What values do we teach our children and how much do we inspire others to learn? Most of us take advantage of people’s weaknesses instead of helping to strengthen them. Everyone wants to win, but sometimes there are more important things than being the winner.

This world of ours…must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect” Dwight D Eisnehower

I feel like now more than any time in my life people have zero respect for other people and are so willing to be hateful for the smallest thing. I saw something the other day asking how F3 has changed you as a man. Without a doubt F3 has helped to create a deeper level of ownership for my community and wanting to help those around. I shared a story with the pax of an encounter i recently had at a fast food restaurant where a guest was yelling at employees for very minor issues. I took it upon myself once i realized he would not stop to ask the man to leave the restaurant. I could not sit by while others in my community were being treated in that manner.

MOLESKIN:

The inspector gadget was part of the 2020 Iron Pax Challenge. We checked the scores and the top time was 15 min. I see no way this is humanly possible and want to see video evidence of the feat.

John 15:13 “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.” We’ve all heard the verse and understand the sacrifice. It is the ultimate act of love and service for our fellow human. But Jesus calls us to love everyone, we are all brothers, friends, neighbors. I need to have that kind of love for people I don’t like or am indifferent to, the same as I have for those I love.
