COT: F3 JUCO
Want to take a minute a brag on a HIM of all HIMs and someone we all can look up. On Monday I shared a prayer request about my mom. Guardrail could tell just by tone that things weren’t good. This is what friendship is about. He followed that up by checking on me and offering prayer. He answered my 2am call and joined me for a run yesterday to allow me to process verbally the challenges I am facing without judgement and asked good questions to help me process my thoughts.
“True friendships between men are built on a foundation of trust, respect, and humility.
Humility allows us to set aside ego and pride, recognizing that no one has to have all the answers or always be right. It’s about listening without judgment, being vulnerable enough to admit mistakes, and valuing the perspectives of others. That is what F3 is about and this opportunity is a chance to be vulnerable and show one another that we all don’t have this crazy thing called life figured out. But together we are always better then we are as individuals going at it alone.
I am grateful for the support of our brothers who step up without hesitation and celebrate others successes without envy.
By embracing humility, we create space for honesty, growth, and deeper connections—reminding us that friendship isn’t about competition, but about lifting each other up and walking side by side through life’s challenges.
Let’s lead with humility and make room for the kind of friendship that lasts a lifetime.
Great to have Cheap Ride and Shrubbery back in the gloom!
