Gift of Giving,
The gift of making someone smile can go a long way. Take a look at all things around you and how thankful we should be. We are fortunate to have the brotherhood we have established. These are life long friendships. I encourage to find a way to give to either a church, someone in need, a child for Christmas, or just anything in General.

A prayer for 2024:
God of Love, You are with us in every transition and change. As we enter this new era with excitement and even some anxiety, we recall your deep compassion, presence, and abounding love. We thank you for the gifts, talents, and skills with which you have blessed us. We thank you for the experiences that have brought us to this moment. We thank you for the work of others that gives breadth and depth to our own work. Be with us as we move forward, rejoicing with you and supporting one another.
We ask this in your Holy Name.

We covered some new ground in the cross park area, and knocked out about 3.7 miles in the process.

My oldest daughter will be turning 18 in two weeks, and we are trying to maximize our time with her before she moves out and goes to college.

Make time now, make memories, do things with your loved ones, because you will blink and they will be grown and out of the house!

COT:
This was a very special day as we passed the shovel flag off to a new leader, Slappy! It is going to be extremely exciting to see what he does in the role and how Shamrock is going to thrive under his leadership.

We have all heard the quote, “Strong men create good time, good times creat weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men.” I head some commentary on this quote from Nick Freitas on this and says, “Bad times don’t create strong men, strong men are made by the influence of other strong men.” He goes on to talk about how strong men are there through good times and bad, but in the bad times, strong men are once again appreciated for what they contribute to society.
I instantly thought of F3 and the group of strong men that I have the privilege of working out beside every morning. All of you have made me a stronger man in all areas of my life and I am thankful for every one of you.
