16 PAX (No FNGs), Crayfish, Teachers Pet, Snookie, Four Eyes, Shoestring, Toms, Handsy, Pirtle, Yardsale, Bookworm, MIB, Mirage, Tomb Raider, Sir Mix A Lot, Doc Hollywood, ISS

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Rev. 12:11  ‘They overcame him with the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their Testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”

Men, as believers we should fear no darkness.  Reach out to those in need.  Come forward with needs, realy on a friend.  Challenge and encourage one another.

Death has lost, victory is won for those whose Lord is Jesus the Christ.  So we lay down our lives, as ‘our’ lives are no longer ours.  He has given His life for us, bought us for a price, and now we no longer live but He lives in and through us.

We should not shrink from death as we should not love our lives but seek to glorify the One and sacrifice for the lost.

MOLESKIN:
We missed out on the “Sprint the Straight aways” section of the workout that would have really pushed us.  Not a dry patch of skin between any of us as we were soaked from head to toe.  The brief return to Memphis summer was not welcome after being spoiled all week.

The PAX successfully avoided all ROTC candidates as we ducked and weaved through many.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
3rd F opportunity was announced for tomorrow (Saturday, 15th).  GrowRuck12 next week.  Join us for 2ndF at Carolina Watershed Friday night 7-10pm and a Dredd/Slaughter beatdown Saturday morning 7-8 at ECS, Cordova.
