In turn, really push yourself. Work on form. Honor the process by doing the work. It’s not about adding up your numbers but about quality. Lets really support our brothers here and when someone falls, help them back up.

Paul was able to endure through ,and rejoice in, his unimaginable suffering by focusing his attention on his obedience to the Lord.  We must find our “why” in every challenging situation and make that our focus. If your attention is turned toward your WHY, you will be able to endure any level of difficulty or suffering. Focus on your WHY and rejoice in your suffering

I shared a story in which I was very close to death at 14 years old. And through God and a miracle, I am here today.

Cherish your time you have to spend with your friends and family. You never know which day may be your last, so try to make sure you leave everyone with a positive impact when you interact with others. Keep a smile on your face and leave with a good impression.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I read my response to an email chain with a former boss from April 17, 2003.  Towards the end he asked me if I missed my days as a volunteer baseball and soccer coach and the days when my children were still at home.  In it the following thoughts and points were presented.

Do you miss the past? Do you wish you had done things differently?  Do you find joy in the here and now?

What we make of life is mostly above our shoulders.  How much better would it be if we let our hearts rule!  How much better would our memories be if we just let our hearts have more influence and be less selfish!

The impact the parents have on their children and their children have on parents is a blessing.  Parents are teachers, bosses, and friends to them but the emphasis must be on the first two.  They can find friends elsewhere but they can’t find other parents.  What a joy it is when their is mutual respect especially as they reach adulthood.

Strive to live in a way where the need to “go back” doesn’t exist, where there is satisfaction in the past.  Look forward to the next bend in the road or the crest of hill knowing that the days of the past will help us face it.  Live by faith with Spirit and Truth.

I am so thankful that I have joined up with F3.  I am thankful that my son, I-Beam, thought to invite me, to have faith that I could endure this.  I look forward to the Fitness, I have come to cherish the Fellowship, I am blown away by the Faith that I have come to experience with F3.  I don’t know how long I will be physically able to stay involved but I do know that whether it is 1 year or 5, I will look back with great satisfaction knowing that this time will help me face the future.
