CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“About thirty years ago there was much talk that geologists ought only to observe and not theorise; and I well remember some one saying that at this rate a man might as well go into a gravel-pit and count the pebbles and describe the colours. How odd it is that anyone should not see that all observation must be for or against some view if it is to be of any service!” — Charles Darwin

I was asked to interpret this quote last Friday. While it’s intended for science, the applicability of this quote has relevance to this time. Every day we make observations, but many times we let them stay as observations. Sometimes this is okay.. but if we extend this quote to our lives today, I think what Darwin is linking is the connection between observation and action. Observations of rocks are useless without taking action into how and why the observations matter. In the same way, F3 nation seeks to inspire HIM who not only can make observations, but transform those observations into actions to make our communities a better place. Let’s not be passive, but instead take a stand for justice and truth in our communities, and inspire others to do the same.

MOLESKIN:

The mumblechatter was high today! Good work everyone.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sacrifice is key in leadership. The best leaders have always been servant leaders. A great leader will put others in front of himself to lift those up around him, they do not need the glory. In my professional life i have see both kinds of leaders and the leaders that have put themselves first failed. The only way a team can over come challenges is with strong leadership. DORA’s are a great example of sacrifice in leadership. Your brother is reliant on you to not stop moving even when you’re tired. We have to sacrifice ourselves for the pax and our brothers.
MOLESKIN:
Keep Drifter in your thoughts as he goes through the moving process.

The Q was late today, because i allowed the fartsack to trick me into thinking i had 5 more min. Because of that i was rushing and left my phone at home. Impossible to run a musical DORA without music so Q had to drive back home to find his phone. I appreciate Drifter picking up for the Q’s slacking and took the pax through the warm up.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Backstage- Regional Nan’tan for Mid-Illinois is going to be Q’ing two beatdowns on April 13th at the Bombshelter and 14th at the Arsenal. This is going to be a great beatdown you don’t want to miss. lets show what F3 Blount is all about and show up in force.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Spring signs (blooming flowers,  greening trees, growing grass) are beautiful examples of a living creatures accepting a power (the Sun) that is outside themselves. They don’t work for it.
    In the same way, because of Christ’s death and rising to life again (what we celebrate this weekend at Easter!) God offers us power/salvation over SIN and DEATH, a darkness much worse than winter. All we must do is trust him for it and receive it through faith
