Job 1:21 “The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.” 

I have spent most of my life in comfort. In recent years I have had hard times (financially, mentally, spiritually, physically, etc.), but not near as difficult as those that are truly in need. Today, I saw the men of the Asylum AM step up for a family that they did not even know, for a guy who is a regular at a completely different AO across town. I put the word out last night that a family at my school was in need. They don’t have the resources to get their daughter to school in order to graduate. The nature of my school (which, while a Knox County Public High school) is that it has ‘less than ideal’ transportation options and this family does not have the means to buy gas in order to get their daughter to school. She is a senior on the cusp of graduation and needs to attend regularly to earn her diploma. The generosity of the PAX of the Asylum, both in attendance and not, was overwhelming to me. I will be able to present this family with a $250 gas card from Weigals tomorrow morning. 

I say it often, but it is ALWAYS worth repeating… The High Impact Men of F3 and F3Knoxville are the best men I know. Jumping at opportunities to make our community a better place. I don’t know where I would be without this group, and I know that if I ever need anything, an F3 HIM will be right there to help me along the way.

Prayer by Saint Francis

Lord make Me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness joy.
O Divine master grant that I may
Not so much seek to be consoled as to console
To be understood, as to understand.
To be loved. as to love
For it’s in giving that we receive
And it’s in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it’s in dying that we are born…
To eternal life.

The Cryptobubble (Dip/2-ct Aw Yeah) + lap

The Compuserve (Table Row + Bicycle) + AO/Baby Everest lap

The Dark Webb (Burpee/SSH)

The Dark Webb turns out to be pretty dark and the Q was toast. Crab Legs is made of sterner stuff so he led us in a Bicep Burnout. Mall Walkers halfheartedly joined us for Tempo Squats. The addition of Gibbler turned the mumblechatter into a mumbleroar, as predicted.
