COT/BOM
Memento Mori (Latin: “remember that you have to die” is the medieval Latin Christian theory and practice of reflection on mortality, especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits.

Psalm 90:12 – “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”

Life is a gift and stewardship, given to each of us for the benefit of others.  We are blessed as we are a blessing where we are.  Choose to live fully today, choose to be a life-giver wherever you are.

Find Comfort in God, even in the midst of the cold and gloom.

“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the Lord ‘s hand double for all her sins. A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” A voice says, “Cry!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows on it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

F3 is important. It helps us grow and change and get better. I’m reminded of Fight Club when the narrator is laying out the ways they have changed their lives to revolve around Fight Club. In the same way I have changed my life around F3. I clip my nails so I don’t break one on the concrete, I don’t stay out late at the bars with friends on Fridays because I don’t want to squander an opportunity at F3 the next morning, I push myself harder in my other workouts just thinking about you guys out here. F3 is an opportunity each and every time you show up. Make the most of it.
