CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We are going to have times in our lives when we feel like hitting the reset button.  Times when we need to stop, take stock of our current situation, and then find the direction and motivation to move forward.

Galatians 6:9-10  So lets’ not get tired of doing what is good.  At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.  Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone – especially to those in the family of faith.

MOLESKIN:
What a great way to start my 44th year on the Big Ball.  The PAX showed up ready to burn some goo; mumble chatter was high and the effort was amazing.

BOM
F3 has always been and will always be more than a workout.  We definitely want to push ourselves and each other physically, but we also want to grow relationally and spiritually.  The PAX is unique in many ways, one being that we are not out here to compete against each other, but collaborate together to grow as husbands, fathers, sons, employees, employers, friends, and neighbors.  We are bound together under a high power for a greater purpose.

MOLESKIN
Alcoa will never be the same.  The PAX came hungry, focused and ready for to push hard and get better…together!  The Bomb Shelter is a incredible AO that will be keeping the HIMs of Alcoa/Maryville busy for a long time.  It was a honor to lead and be a part of this PAX.  I have a feeling we are going to see some good things from these men.

MOLESKIN:
HIM…..HIgh Impact Man but as detention said so well on one of his Qs. HIM also stands for:

H= Humble. Be humble and don’t put your self first. I= Invest, invest in others that surround you. As we invest in our selves during the workout, hopefully it will give us the ability to invest in others. M= Mentally Tough. You have to be Mentally tough and be strong to be humble and invest in others. This is always on my mind ever since Detention talked about being a HIM one morning. Its something I take we me everyday and try to apply in all that I do.

THANK YOU DETENTION!! You are a HIM

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve been reading a study about being a better dad, an “intentional father”, and leading my kids to a relationship with Jesus.  For me I sometimes feel like I don’t know how to do that.  I don’t know all the right things to say and do have them learn about Jesus.  But by putting down my phone, work, hobbies, tv remote, etc., and intentionally spending time with them, I’m off to a good start.  By paying attention to them while they play, or ask questions (lots and lots of questions), or eat dinner and putting the distractions away they can tell the difference.

Sometimes our biggest obstacles to being intentional father is we do not know where to start.  Well just like Matterhorn we climbed this morning, we have to be willing to take that first step.  Get up and move, and if we stumble or fall to get up and keep going.  I’m also learning that I have to show that side to my kids.  If I struggle with obstacles and I handle it the wrong way, my kids learn the wrong way to handle obstacles.  In those times of struggles, I have had to go back and apologize to my kids and ask for forgiveness.  Which does a couple things, it makes my kids realize “hey dad isn’t perfect” and “dad can admit when he is wrong”.  My weaknesses turn into learning points.

And when I struggle with an obstacle so much that I seek our heavenly Father’s assistance with it, my kids see that too.  They see that God is always with us to lift us up and carry us when we need it.  My hope is they know that not only I am always there to pick them up, but that God walks with us.  God picks us all up, gives us a hug, knocks the dirt off, and says “Let’s do this together”.

MOLESKIN:
The PAX really pushed hard this morning, even though we did some things we never tried before.  Indian run with pee rock curls being a prime example.  But we all got better!
