CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

*YHC shared some Wisdom with the PAX:

2 things have been heavy on YHC’s heart lately: Adversity and Humility
YHC breathed life into these messages by sharing some transparent frustrations he has had over last few weeks with a strained wrist from a clumsy stumble outside of and F3 work-out and a pulled groint while training for an upcoming 1/2 marathon.

YHC also shared some time-honored wisdom from MLB Dodger Steve Garvey from years ago…his message which YHC heard Garvey speak recently at a local breakfast was as follows:

“The issue he has with today’s MLB players (you can insert: athlete, husbands, bosses, etc.) is that they act as if they are afraid to ‘run 90 feet anymore’…that distance between the base paths.  His point: are we (men) giving our very best towards the ‘next 90 feet’ of our marriages, raising our children, leading our employees at work, in our communities, etc.”

So…are we?  Are you?  Am I?

**PAX prayers were lifted up.

MOLESKIN:
YHC still working on creating beatdowns while recovering from janky wrist.  Groint has fully recovered and today was the 1st test of that. It is obvious that the F3 PAX need to learn and be prepared to recite the F3 Mission:

‘To plant, grow and serve small work-out groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.’

Otherwise…we are just here…going through the motions. HC not to do that.
