COT: Prayers and Praises. F3 is open to all men with no SPECIFIC faith component, but a belief that you’re not the center of the universe. YHC encouraged the PAX to reflect on their own faith tradition and what that tradition demands of you. Then I offered a prayer that each man would be reminded of that demand at the most important time today.

An honor to lead Q-School. Great to encourage HIM to step up and become the leaders they’re created to be. Looking forward to some VQs in the future! (You do/I watch)

HIIT?

Leave a comment

8 enjoyed a beat down on the football field at Ballroom. The buckets of running pain were back and the pax selected random runs from the assortment of options available such as 20 yard sprints, 50 yard runs, 100 yard runs, and just a few, very few, mall walk options. But mostly an opportunity to get in just under 2 miles worth.

Great fellowship and good to see Who Dat back out clown carring with Cubbie.

Prayers for Triple Lindy and his health concerns as well as some family health issues. Prayers for Poppins family situation, for peace and comfort.
