P-nut thanked everyone for coming to POST on a hot, humid, sunny afternoon. He talked about how good it was to experience the fellowship of a small group…groups like today. He was able to engage with most everyone in the PAX in a meaningful way- and it encouraged him to know that there were brothers committed to help each other get better.

BOM
P-nut took prayer requests, including: sympathy for a death of an acquaintance of Timberlake, cancer relief for a friend of Hooker, praise for Sleeveless as he’s found a place to live in Dallas and thanksgiving for the upcoming marriage of Beyonce.

MOLESKIN
The PAX came ready to sweat. Even as the temperatures soared, the mumblechatter and conversation was free-flowing and positive. A great end to a great day.

G6 shared about the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.  He then prayed and we ended with Taps.

MOLESKIN
31 PAX including 1 FNG came out to a gloomy Asylum to get better and honor the men and women who have fallen in battle.  We took on the Team RWB 21 Guns challenge and added some more for good measure (if it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change).  The highlight of the morning was moseying to the East Tennessee Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery.  We made our way to the top of the main hill and circled up for the COT.  Men who have lost friends and family during battle shared their names, branch of service.  We then had our PAX’s own Wardaddy G6, himself retired Air Force, share during the BOM and lead us in prayer.  We ended our time with a moment of silence and the playing of Taps.

It was a great morning.  As men arrived a thick fog settled over the park and it set the mood perfectly.  This was a special morning.  The men went hard and no man was left behind…just as it should be.

Great to see Pablo and Shakespeare back out with us!

BOM
To have an impact, to show love, to teach someone we must first desire to change ourselves daily. Four ways to grow:

  1. Physically (F3, Eating Healthy etc.)
  2. Intellectually (reading, continuing education classes)
  3. Spiritually (praying, reading scripture)
  4. Socially (having community, 2nd F)

MOLESKIN
The PAX really pushed it today and it was a hot one. After this workout it is a necessity to bring water on these hot afternoons. There was some great mumble chatter throughout the workout and after the 11s everyone was talking about how they were looking forward to doing burpees. With a PAX of 8, it makes it easy to hold each other accountable during the workout and encourage one another to push through it. It felt like we were being attacked by sweat it was so hot and humid.

1 John 2:15-17
Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.

 

MOLESKIN
The PAX really pushed it today carrying around the 50lb sandbags. There will be some sore shoulders in the morning with all the mumblechatter/complaining (cough cough Edit) we heard during the workout. It is always good to hear questions like, “are you serious?” while giving instructions for the next exercise. This just means we are doing it right and all the PAX from the workout today would agree that we pushed ourselves hard to make ourselves better.

 

Just Keep Moving…

Element of Authentic Manhood – Stewardship.
Matthew 25:14-30.  We are stewards of all we have, not owners.  Ownership implies that we are the center, stewardship reminds us that we have to give an account what we have been given.  Not just our resources and talents, but our relationships.

The PAX came ready to work and crushed it this morning.  Lot’s of good mummblechatter, great way to end the week and prep for the weekend!
