Recover, Recover

Moleskin:

Einstein, Shaken Not Stirred, Outlaw, Soprano, Airstream, Gnarly Goat, Thug, and Stromboli all crushed to today. It should be noted that no one melted due to the mild rain. However, we did more SSH and Merkins than any reasonable man should do, but we’re all better for it. We weren’t afraid to get wet and roll around on the ground. No one complained and everyone got it done in the gloom. As other AO’s showed for Coffeteria, Hippie seemed to be berated. YHC, however, didn’t participate in such shenanigans. Thanks for lending me the keys to your AO Goat. It was an honor to post with these hard chargers today.

COT/Prayer Requests/Namarama/Coffeeteria

Prayers:

-S’mores battle for his life in the hospital. Pray for his recovery and for his family during this challenging time.

-Unspoken requests in all circles.

Reminder:

The F3 mission statement is “to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership”. 

F3 5 Core Principles:

Workouts …

• Are free of charge
• Are open to all men
• Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
• Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
• End with a Circle of Trust

There are plenty of Q slots at all AO’s. Please sign up. For new Pax, volunteer to lead/Q (we’ll help you co-Q). For you seasoned guys, sign up for some Q’s.

Invite a FNG or brother you haven’t seen in a while who’s a Kotter. Invite that #just1 who needs you more than you know (an invitation is a powerful thing brothers). If none of those work for you, just show up. No one will be left behind, but it all starts with the discipline to take one.

Until next time…
