CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.” James 1:22-25

F3 is a constant reminder that if we don’t continue to do what we know we need to – posting, in this case – that our fitness and eventually our health will be negatively affected. Likewise, we know what we need to do to feed our spiritual lives – what we need to do to insure we are equipped to handle the struggles we all face – but if we choose to to ignore doing the right things, we will miss out on the blessings that come with dedication.

Do the hard things, but physically and spiritually – make the choice to attack your weaknesses and make them your strength every day. 

MOLESKIN:
Props to Tiger Lily for always choosing to do hard things – he’s rucking home from work this afternoon (~18 miles) then posting at 3AM to help lead the Gorlick SIM tomorrow. Beast mode.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
None, but YHC encouraged everyone to train their minds and bodies constantly to be better.
