– Smurftastic showing by 8 FNGs; Respect
– Haggis (F3 Charlotte) made a strong showing, as well. We were thankful for his presence, and we hope he will join us again soon.
– We opened with an acknowledgement of Agony’s recent post in the Convergence, and we challenged each other to live our lives with no reservations, no retreat, and no regrets. Embrace the hard!
– We closed with the following Bible passage (2 Peter 1: 5-8):
“…along with your faith, manifest also a noble character; along with a noble character, knowledge; along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance; along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness; brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love. If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your either being idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ”.
Announcements
– There is a benefit upstairs at Barleys on Monday, September 23 at 6:00 pm. $20/person (children are welcome until 9pm – when the upstairs is 21 and over); includes beer, apps, live music, and a silent auction. All proceeds go towards the Challenge to Conquer Cancer Ride (www.c3ride.org). It is a great group to support, and it would be a great opportunity for some 2nd F.
– Several of us have signed up for the Spartan Beast Race in Winnsboro, SC on November 9th. F3 has 50 spots reserved at a $74 discount, but those spots are being filled quickly. Please use the following link to join us: http://f3nation.com/2013/09/10/spartan-beast-announcement-team-f3/. It will be an opportunity for Fitness, Fellowship, and definitely prayer!
Aye!

Great workout men. The hill sprints were especially memorable, as well as the sight of Flying Tomato’s heels on the laps around the lake. Thank you!
Aye, the Scottish Stonecutter finds his way to the Upstate. He’s as hard as rock and carries stone for a living. Surprise you let them ID you as from F3/Charlotte.
He outed himself and then promptly put the smack down on the group in the hill sprints. Nice effort, Haggis, come on back any time!
