Life is short: We live. We die. Then comes Heaven or Hell in a straight line.  That final outcome depends on the way we live this life and the choices we make. If you waste your life – in the end, you will lose it.  The life not wasted is one focused on lovingly serving others in a way that magnifies God’s glory.  Let that be our daily, even hourly focus.  Don’t waste your life!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 men, no FNGs.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Steam:  It is an honor, as a man in his twenties, to be a part of a group of men where most are older than I.  There have been times when I surely haven’t had my life together and I have been able to look to these older warriors for leadership and guidance.  It is nice to know that I can seek them out and it also a great thing to be able to look up to them as role models.

Lillydipper: It is an honor for me to lock shields with the type of young men we have in F3.  The zest and enthusiasm of these younger HIMs inspires me.  I know the world is going to be ok when I see leaders like these grabbing the steering wheel.  To have their respect amazes me.  And to know that they will circle back to pick me up leads me to respect them the more.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Thunderstruck’s mother and Pinto, who are battling cancer.  Prayers for Abscess, Pele and Fob who are overcoming injuries.  Praise to Iceman’s brother and sister-in-law who recently had a baby.

Life is short. Don’t waste it! We live, we die, then comes Heaven or Hell – depending on how we live our life and the choices we make. If you waste this life, in the end you will LOSE it. The UN-wasted life can be summed up in one concise statement from John Piper: A life not wasted is one spent lovingly serving others in a way that magnifies God’s glory. It’s why you are here.
