Revelation 3:15-16.  We are HIMs at our AOs in the mornings because we come out early and work hard to get better.  Don’t be lukewarm in your every day lives, but be HIMs all the time in everything that you do.  If you are lukewarm spiritually, God will spit you out of His mouth because He wants you to be hot for Him.

11 HIMs got better today with 1 FNG!  Welcome Cable Boy!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Give Thanks!  We should all remember to give thanks when it is due not just around the holidays.  In that regard, I would like to give thanks to my F3 brothers.  Thank you for keeping me motivated to come and get better early in the morning.  If it wasn’t for you guys, I would be stuck in my fartsack until I got up for work.  I also want to thank everyone who has been on Q and shared their message at the end of the workouts.  I’m a very reserved/compartmentalized person.  Everyone being open and honest and sharing what is on their minds/hearts has helped and continues to help me become a better person.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

MOLESKIN:
Props to Spotter for bringing 2 FNGs within the last 2 weeks!  Shoutout to the PreRuck crew Jude Judy, Doubtfire and Shooter!
