CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

  • Dale Carnegie

Specializing in self-improvement and interpersonal skills, American writer and lecturer Dale Carnegie talked often about the power of action. It’s easy to let our small doubts and anxieties balloon into overwhelming fears — because we allow them too much time and space to grow rather than taking action to face them. “If you want to conquer fear,” Carnegie urged, “do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

The Bible also talks about fear.

“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Don’t let fear hinder you from being the man God has called you to be. Pray and take action.

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
No specific Biblical text.  I was reminded of our humanity and how we all fall short of the glory of God and that our own saving grace is through the blood of Yeshua.  We should remember that we are not perfect either when we want to judge someone for their words or actions.  I am guilty of being quick to judge when I am just as guilty of the same things.  YHWH asks us to be light in this world, not judges.  We should act accordingly.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Shared a bit about the impact F3 has had on my life in regards to the bonds that are created between men when they are tested. When you put in the work, get the job done and go at it with a battle buddy. The relationship is stronger than a typical relationship. Trust your fellow HIMs, put in the daily work and be there for them. The bond is everything.

MOLESKIN:
Great spot for an AO. Mountain view at the end of the beatdown was pretty epic. Great group of guys. They even know how to mumble chatter already! Moses approved…All 12 put in the work and all 12 left with their first victory of the day.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Grouch is 40 today, Happy Birthday!  Support him as he leads the Bomb Shelter crew this Saturday.

Box Dodge

Every HIM has a puzzle box approximately 1 ft x 1 ft size.  You have to hold the box above your head like a waiter at a restaurant when they carry their trays.  You can switch hands when shoulder starts to get tired.  You try to knock each others box out of each others hand.  Grid with 9 guys was about 366 ft x 36ft (playing space).  If you lose your box, you have to step out of the grid and do 5 burpees.  You cannot grab the box if someone knocks it but if you can stabilize it with your finger tips then you are good.  If it falls or you grab it, get on those burpees.

I have seen this done with pizza boxes and it is far more interesting because they are bigger but can be more easily stabilized.

MARY:

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Halfday, Streaker, Trousers, Shoelaces, Rep Sleepy, Doppelganger, Pennies, Cow Patty, Grouch
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
No specific Biblical text but was watching The Chosen Season 1 Episode 8 when Yeshua was talking to the Samaritan woman at the well.  At one point she says, “You picked the wrong person.”  and “I’m rejected by others.” to which Yeshua says, “I know but not by the Messiah.”  While this is not in the Bible, it resonates tremendously in my spirit.  I am ashamedly guilty of judging a book by its cover but not YHWH.  He looks beyond what our eyes see and sees every person he created for who they really are.  We are never to be the judge in this world.  Yeshua called us to love and it is through our love that we show those around us how we are different.  Only when people ask should we offer our views and thoughts from a place of love rather than cramming them down peoples’ throats even though I am guilty of wanting to shake those who do not know, or willingly ignore, they are living apart from YHWH.  YHWH is the only true and righteous judge.  His ways are higher than ours and his thoughts are higher than ours.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Men’s Group with Doppelganger and Cow Patty and others at Food City at 6 AM.  Join them!

Convergence in July.
