No Rain Delay at The Station

11 PAX opted to keep the game going despite a little rain moving in on us. The PAX came to play, and to play hard. The rain actually came as a relief- read below and see why.

COT
USMC Mud Run- April 11th- sign up soon to get starting time w/ F3. You are already late, so don’t wait any longer.

BRR Relay (Sept 11) eyes open for details

Battlefrog – April 25th talk w/ Johnny 5

Prayer Requests
Lizard Lick ultrasound today- boy or girl? Congrats!

Thanks to Blue Hawaii for sharing a little of his story and what God is doing for and through him….and through F3. Led to a  nice encouraging devo conversation from the PAX.
Highlights:
Listen to your F3 Brothers and be responsive, engaged, and see how you can serve them
Listen to your F3 Brothers who are quiet and seek them out, don’t let them be in isolation
Be transparent in the COT- if struggling others have struggled w/ something similiar- we all share a common struggle
The exercise portion of F3 is a benefit, but the life change happens when you engage the 2nd and 3rd F. You must be 3rd. I must be 3rd. We are here not to serve ourselves, but to invigorate and encourage the men around you.

Guys- I can’t tell you how encouraging it is and how proud I am  to be a part of this group of men called F3. I was drawn in by the acts of kindness the men of Lexington/Columbia and surrounding areas showed to Nail Pop and his family when everything hit with Walker. I remain because of the life change I  have seen in myself and the men around me. I’m talking physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual life changes I am witnessing. Amazing.

Continue to EH men around you- the chances are  either they are hungry for this kind of community and don’t know how to find it, or they are in a place where they don’t know what they need and this could be it. You have no idea the impact it can have on someones life.

Thanks again for the opportunity to lead you men. Look forward to the next gloom.
