Moleskin:
Great job today gents! We even tried to EH a pastor at the church who was obviously envious of our chiseled physique and wanted to know our secret. We told him that a dose of gloom does the trick.
Edsel is still crushing it and dropping some lbs as a result. Estwing enjoyed more ‘merkins after doing the Murph yesterday. It looked like it didn’t phase him a bit. POS was his usual beastly self. He is still stiff-arming YHC about being the MQ at Gladiator (maybe someday). Ponch left as we were arriving as he felt slighted by Amen. Both are now in mediation. Ponch says Amen HC’d for a standard. Amen said he did not. We’re waiting for the body cam footage. Amen may now be the target in a future traffic check (rubber gloves may be necessary). Amen, have you never watched the movie Lakeview Terrace? Bob Ross wasn’t phased by the beat down today. He is now commissioning a painting about Amen’s journey today with special detail given to Amen’s shoes that were recently voted as the squeakiest sneakers in all of the Isotope by Lake Norman Magazine. Let’s just say that Amen would never win a game of Marco Polo.
It’s always good to be with my F3 brothers in the gloom.
COT/Prayer/Announcements
-Amen’s sons have been traveling a lot and traveling back home. His son got a speeding ticket so pray for mercy from his mother.
-POS’s-Stepfather, Bill, is in Hospice due to cancer. Pray for comfort care.
-All Pax who are going through caregiving issues and challenges with their parents. Praise for parents who have been able to care for themselves
-Marriages
-Unspoken prayer requests among F3.
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
Announcements:
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).
Until next time…
