CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I struggled and battled with clearing my mind and coming up with the words to say ahead of time.  I went and spent some time at the football field and the AO the night before, to soak in the atmosphere and listen to God. I prayed over the field where we would work out and I prayed at the AO. Ultimately I asked God to provide me with the words that needed to be spoken and I believe He did so.

I sum it up like this:

Drifter,

  • Put the pax before yourself
  • Lead from the front, laying out the next 43 feet ahead of the pax
    • In reference to building a leadership road 43 feet ahead of the people driving on it. The metaphor extends to mentoring and being willing to share your life lessons with guys who are just behind you on their life journey.
  • Pax, you are all freed to lead. F3 promotes male leadership. This is not Drifter’s AO. It is yours, and he speaks for it.
  • Drifter, motivate and empower your pax. Lead from the front and always be ready to jump into the trenches with them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I had planned on doing a cliche Michael Jordan quote until yesterday when I found out some news. A mentor of mine passed away from Covid 19. Dr. Joe was the nicest man and initially welcomed me to Knoxville when I moved from Atlanta 5 or so years ago. A cancer survivor, he was a quirky man that would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. We would go to lunch together in Knoxville to catch up- talking all things life such as faith, investments, current events. He invested his time in me and made quite the impact on my life. He got me back in church at a time when I was struggling as a Christian.

Be like Joe and invest your time, faith, money in those that you care about. I regret not spending more time with Joe over the years. He was truly a special person and we should all strive to have the character he showed daily.

I challenge you to reach out to someone you may have lost contact with over the months or years who have truly made an impact on your life, investing time to better you as a person. Thank them and love them. You never know when it might be your last chance to say these things.

RIP Dr. Joe Ferguson

5 secrets you must discover before you die- John Izzo- interviews with 235 people nominated as wise elders.

2nd secret- leave no regrets.
“ to leave no regrets we must live with courage, moving toward what we want rather than away from what we fear. To leave no regrets we must overcome the inevitable disappointments that life hands us”

Being leaders in our family, work and community requires us to face challenges and risk . Must see the positive that can happen not the negative.

We will inevitably make mistakes. “ perhaps what often determines our happiness in life is the step we take after a setback.”

Provides 4 questions to ask every day.
“ did I act out of fear today or this week? How do I want to be more courageous tomorrow or next week?”
