CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recently saw Beautiful/The Carole King Musical and was inspired by it.  First, was amazed at how many hit songs she wrote BEFORE she created her famous Tapestry Album.  These hits were sung by other artists.  For most of the songs, she wrote the music while her husband at the time, Gerry Goffin, wrote the lyrics.  These songs, many of which hit no 1, included Locomotion, Up on the Roof, One Fine Day, I’m Into Something Good, Pleasant Valley Sunday and Natural Woman.  Carole King was not confident in her own voice.  Others, such as James Taylor, had to encourage her to sing her own music.  After her divorce from Gerry Goffin, she did start to create albums where she sang.  This woman, who was afraid to sing on her own, created the famous Tapestry album.  It not only was voted the best album of the year, it included the best song of the year “It’s Too Late” and had a song on it that James Taylor made a number one hit “You’ve Got a Friend.”  Also, this woman who felt she didn’t have a good enough voice became female vocalist of the year.

Sometimes we fail to see how much talent we have.  I look at the men in our PAX and I see amazing talent.  That talent comes in athleticism, in a personal connection with others, in a willingness to grow, in a capability of being true influences in our community.  We may not see it.  But a great thing about F3 is that your brothers do see it.  In F3 we encourage each other, help each other.  This leads to a greater belief in ourselves and how we can help our community.  Who knows what you are capable of – what each one of us are capable of!
