The theme for the day was 11's. It's not always easy to say but a few of the PAX know I don't drink, many don't know why. Well I suck at it, and it nearly cost me my life, my marriage, my family, and the Son I have now would not be here. 11 years ago from this past Monday I hit my knees and begged God to help. He delivered in Spades. It wasn't easy but it was worth it. When I tell people about F3 they always say it's so hard to get up that early, my response is usually " Some people don't have the ability to get up at all, be thankful." I used to wake up like Bill Murray in Groundhogs Day, if you don't know what it feels like to want to die but to chicken to pull a trigger- well let's say it's not fun. I know most PAX that have posted with me probably question my sanity, I'm loud, brash, and everything is always a joke. If you were playing with house money you would be too. I'm a walking miracle- we all are. I'm so grateful for the Fellowship of F3 and the Men who have set a course for the rest of to help build onto something truly special. Man Hands out.
