COT:
I am thankful for FixerUpper and the PAX.
Fixer EH’d me in December 2022.
I’ve made friends – guys like Fixer, Lizzy, Wedding Singer, and others and we’ve carried each other’s burdens here at the Quacken through prayer.
My fitness has greatly improved and I feel more equipped in leadership.
At the least I want to maintain what Fixer and the PAX have built over the last year and a half. My goal is to grow this AO and do more fun fitness, fellowship and faith stuff together. We will do these things at the Quacken as we pursue the mission of invigorating male community leadership.
A scripture to encourage us in F3,
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
New International Version
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Prayer time.
THE THANG: Rode Lippencot South trail up to apartments then rode down and crossed Chapman Hwy to Fort Dickerson. We then rode trails down to the quarry then climbed up Pit Viper and traced our way back. Sambo & Spicoli spiced up a little by riding down about 5 flights of stairs coming back down from Fort Dickerson! @Frosty tried to find some poison ivy while sliding through some kudzu!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: James 1:2-4, Romans 5:3-5. It’s challenging to embrace trials and suffering as the Bible calls us to do but we must keep in mind that God promises us that these instances will produce steadfastness, endurance, character, and hope in us.
