CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I picked up this Q pretty late last night, so I don’t have anything too fancy or profound. Love God first, your fellow man second, and put yourself third.
MOLESKIN:
Narrowly averted pre-beatdown issues with some weirdo creeping around the AO in a dark minivan… Turns out it was just Ribbed!

Insert information about upcoming events, 2nd or 3rd F opportunities, and any other announcements.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
12 HIMs today… No FNGs.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We took in the beauty of this morning’s sunrise from the high point by the restaurant as we did our overhead claps. God as put beauty in the world all around us, both for our enjoyment and to point to Him. Take time today and look for that beauty, especially in places where you may not appreciate it every day. Really look into your wife’s eyes as she talks about her day. Marvel at the delicacy and tinyness of your baby’s toes as you change a diaper. Check out the rainbow swirls and patterns in the oily puddle of condensation runoff from your car A/C…

MOLESKIN:
Just noticed yesterday that they’ve added FTLs on the Exicon… It’s F3 official!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayers for Britt, Jessie, and the Thacker family

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be aware of who & what you spend your time on. I recently observed a man take a phone call during his daughter’s dance practice and act annoyed that the dance practice was interrupting his phone call. While there is a time and place to focus on work and to be diligent, there is also a time and place to be wholly present for our friends, family, etc.
MOLESKIN:
Mayberry wore a weight vest (again) and still kicked our asses. That guy is a beast.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Don’t forget about F3 Convergence on Memorial Day. Also, a Murph workout at 9:00 a.m. organized by Abscess. Last, please sign up to Q! We are going to start trying to fill up the month’s schedule on the last week of the previous month. If you’re skeered, please reach out to a “veteran” Q or research the Q101 info on F3’s website. It’s not hard, it’s very rewarding, and everyone appreciates your efforts!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It’s incredible how much you can feel grateful for things we normally take for granted.
MOLESKIN:
