15 of Rock Hill’s finest, including FNG Mugshot, came out to enjoy a glorious gloom beating at Eagle’s Nest. The weather was perfect – 75 degrees with limited humidity and cool wet grass. We started with a short jaunt down Alumni Drive to the fountain in front of Tillman Hall.

YHC took a few minutes to explain why we do what we do. As F3 brothers, we get up early to do this in order to strengthen each other and become better men for our communities. This AO (Eagle’s Nest) is named as such because Winthrop competes in Division I athletics as the Eagles. Eagles are a symbol of strength, leadership, and vision. Isaiah 40:31 says, “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

We fly high above our peers because we get up early and work. We work in the rain, in the cold, and in the heat. I encourage each of you to continue posting. Know that you will never post alone. We are here for each other. Keep pushing each other. The only way to get better and to keep pushing – keep trying – just do it.

Thanks Catfish for letting me Q with you guys. I will definitely be back.
