COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This Q was way harder by myself on Sunday.  It was much easier with the group.  Life is the same way.  So many times we try to do things on our own and we don’t rely on God.  We try and try ourselves and when we fail, then we turn to God.  We need to put God in everything we do and rely on him to carry us and let his will be done, not ours.  Life is much better with God in it, and not doing it by ourselves.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In life there are physical storms like people have experienced with Hurricane Florence.  We should prepare for those with things like insurance, etc…   Just like those storms, we will face storms of life.  As men, we tend to try to do things alone, but we need to have brothers/close friends/accountability partners that we can turn to and rely on when those storms come.  We shouldn’t face things alone and should have someone we can be 100% open with.
MOLESKIN:
It was great to welcome a FNG this morning, aka Right Guard.  Prayers for Herbie’s daughter still trying to recover from sickness and for A-Rod doing the HTL this weekend.

Inspiration from Jocko Podcast – http://jockopodcast.com/2017/04/26/72-losing-a-son-to-war-true-honor-and-leadership-that-applies-to-real-life-w-col-tom-manion/

“If not me, then who?” – 1stLt Travis Manion, USMC

In our daily lives we pass by so many things where our first thought is ‘Somebody else will take care of that.’ While listening to the Jocko Podcast (link is above), I heard of 1st Lt. Travis Manion who lived by the thought of “If not me, then who?” This really struck me as did the story of his life and death. I’ve been dwelling on the thought of “If not me, then who?” for this past week and realize we can apply this to many aspects of our lives. From our marriages and families, to our jobs, to our F3 workouts. Look for those opportunities to step and be leaders or just to make a difference.
