CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We all face a lot of shame, humiliation, feelings of embarassment, and inadequacy. It’s usually in those moments that we face defeating thoughts and thus act out in negative or destructive ways. Challenging thought: When do you feel shame most? Encouragement: remember in those moments to recognize your shame, but then but in the context of God’s grace, truth, and surround yourselves with community.

MOLESKIN:

No prayer requests

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Thanks for all those who supported me on my VQ. I hope you enjoyed the beatdown and the new or unfamiliar exercises that were thrown in. I will be Q-ing again on Friday, May 3rd at JUCO if you want some more of that action!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today was my earthly birthday but I wanted to share what was on my mind, my spiritual birthday, the day I was baptized, November 14, 2010. My earthly birthday doesnt even compare in importance.  I came to Christ late in life, a result of a string of different events, having a Godly wife, surrounding myself with Godly men and mentors, and reading the Gospel. I know Chrostians who have never been baptized, usually they claim it doesn’t save (true, faith does), they just have never gotten around to it, or ask why it matters.  i shared two crucial reasons why baptism is really importantt and does matter: 1) Jesus commands it in Matthew 28 (need I say more?) and 2) it is a symbol of our unity with him in his death and resurrection, a public profession that you are on his team.  if you are a believer and have never been baptized, what are you waiting for?
MOLESKIN:
Some guys really got into the pickle pounders.  Disturbing.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

1 John 4:18 – There is no fear in love.  But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.  The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Today will most likely be the final time I Q in F3 Knoxville.  This week, my wife and I will be moving to the Atlanta Metro area to start a new chapter in our lives.  As the verse says above, we do not fear this change and are looking forward to it because everything has worked out how it was meant to.  The process for us to get to this point our lives has been very frustrating and stressful at times.  However, if things hadn’t worked out the way they did, I would have never been exposed to F3 and had the opportunity to meet and get better with all of you over the last few months.  For that, I am extremely grateful and consider myself lucky to have had that opportunity.

MOLESKIN:

Bonus points to Judge Judy and Spotter for joining me on the preruck!  I encourage some new people to give the preruck a shot.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I told the PAX about the program I have been watching on Amazon called World War II in HD. It was a phenomenal program that really changed the way I thought about our history and the men and women that served our country during that time. I shared with them some stats on the number of casualties during World War II and the millions of people that died as a result of evil men. The sacrifice that they gave to protect the innocent and save our world was  unbelievable.  It made me think about the small sacrifices that we need to make on a daily basis for others.. weather it be our family, our friends, or even complete strangers.

Watch WWII in HD, it will change you.

MOLESKIN:
The pax was pretty quiet today except the occasional massive fart from Sparky. Aladdin for 2nd time but there was no tag yet for him on site.
