COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
PAX: 22. Smallmouth, Fabio, Coolio, Cheatsheet, Leonardo, Cherry Picker, Walkabout, Mr. Ed, Pusher, Expedia, Charmin, Crablegs, Snitch, High Heels, Umbro, Waffle House, Rainbow, Bunny, Rascal, +2 early departures

FNG: Compost (Forgot to get his contact info! Umbro, can you hook us up? Or Compost, just keep coming, ok?)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Mr. Ed has a torn ACL. It’s been torn for 5 years (what?). Surgery is scheduled for December. YHC felt that was too long to wait. This PAX prayed for complete healing NOW. Cause that’s what a Good Father wants to do for His boys.
MOLESKIN:

I woke up late. Didn’t have a good plan the workout. Felt scattered. Didn’t have a good WORD ready for the COT. Then Mr. Ed shared about his ACL being torn and the upcoming surgery and asked that we pray for a quick recovery…after surgery. BOOM. It hit me. “There it is. Here’s the moment. Stop feeling guilty about not having something ‘prepared’ and STAY PREPARED to live freely in the moment.” I was immediately convinced this was no accident. “Mr. Ed, yeah, we’re going to pray for a quick recovery. But not for a quick recovery two months from now. We’re going to ask our Good Father for a quick recovery NOW.” A Good Father doesn’t give his boys snakes when they ask for bread. So, Father, sure, we’ll give you glory if you want to slowly heal Mr. Ed’s ACL post surgery. But we would much rather brag about how You healed Mr. Ed’s ACL without surgery.

BOM
The opposite of manhood isn’t womanhood, it’s boyhood!  Our goal as HIMs is to always be moving forward own the road of maturity (RFP).  What F3 has taught me is that growth (physical, relational and spiritual) comes through challenge, consistency and comradery.

  • Physical: Take your DRP (Daily Red Pill)
    • Challenge – Get up and get out in the gloom!
    • Consistency – Daily
    • Comradery – the PAX
  • Relational: No lone ranger
    • Challenge – Reject passivity and engage with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors
    • Consistency – Daily
    • Comradery – the PAX
  • Spiritual: Luke 9:23, “And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.’”
    • Challenge – Obedience and faithfulness
    • Consistency – Daily
    • Comradery – the PAX and Jesus himself (“follow me”)

MOLESKIN
This morning we had a special guest from a local news affiliate.  He came to do an online piece on F3.  He asked if I thought I could get a good sized group out on a Wednesday morning at 5:30am…61 PAX including 3 FNGs answered with a resounding “HELL YEA!”  For me, this sums up F3 Knoxville.  Over the pas 18 months this PAX has set the bar and then surpassed it when it comes to heart, passion, and dedication.  They work hard, play hard and always have each other’s six.  There is absolutely no questions…I’m a better man for being a part of this PAX, and Knoxville is a better city due to what these men are doing in each other.

God calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves and often I am not so great

at that.

It turns out that relationships thrive when you take ownership and are kind to

other.

3 factors to kindness.

1-Withholding negative

2-Positive affirmation

3-Do one small act of generosity for them

89% of relationships improved even though it was one sided.

Intentional kindness – Identify the one person that you need to improve your

relationship with

1- Say nothing negative about that person – either to them or about

them to anyone else.

2- Each day find one positive thing you can praise or affirm about that

person and tell them and tell someone else. Pray for them.

3- Each day, do one small act of kindness or generosity for them.

Pinto brought a good word with all the fast and furious things around us, there is one thing that remains constant and that is Christ. Even though the horrible fires have happened up in Sevier County we know that he is sovereign and in control.

Moleskin-
The PAX put in some good work today and we were sweating like it was summer. Timberlake made it back from Louisiana and Goose was getting in a workout before his 5th date! Good to see Smallmouth back out and you wouldn’t want to run into him in a dark alley, he is a straight up beast!
