Dashed Hopes

Event Date

Dec 09, 2023


Five studly men rolled out of the fartsack under the hope (threat) of a Kaczynski Q but it wasn’t to be. Sonar grabbed the Q and tried to figure out something to do. It went something like this.

REFLECTION:

Proverbs 27:17

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

We use this verse a lot in F3. Probably because it applies so much. I used it because I didn’t have anything else ready.
Not every workout is brutal. Sometimes it’s just about showing up knowing that people expect to see you and knowing there are people you expect to see. We push each other without saying it sometimes and make each other just a little sharper in the process.

MOLESKIN

  • Prayers up for Crawdad as he continues to recover from an adverse reaction / infection
  • Get well soon wishes to Kaczynski’s sick family members.
  • Thanks to Clark for hosting a great 2nd F event last night. Getting together for snacks, or coffee, or bourbon-pong (if that’s your thing) to engage in fellowship helps us get to know each other a little bit better. I’d love to see us get back to more well-attended coffeeterias – that’s where the glue is.
  • Missed those that couldn’t or wouldn’t make it this morning.
  • As always, it is an honor to “lead” and a privilege just to be a part of this thing we call F3.
