CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
There are obstacles/issues in life that you may not be able to face alone.  In my circumstance, I had a major weight issue.  I am not nor have I ever been a small guy.  However, about 9 years ago I got up to 335 lbs.  Being 6’ tall, I was severely overweight and at 25 headed down a bad path.  With the support of my wife, I was able to lose 100 lbs over about 2 years.  She kept me motivated to work out, meal planned and meal prepped for me.  Without her, I would never been able to get where I am today.  We all faces issues/demons in our lives.  Don’t be afraid to ask for help whether it is from your spouse, family, friends or your F3 brothers.

And God Said No’ (poem)

Here’s a poem, “And God Said No,” written in 1980 by a woman raised in an alcoholic home, whose sister was murdered and middle daughter diagnosed with a severe disorder requiring 24-hour care, … and the list of suffering and trauma could go on.

I asked God to take away my pride, and God said "NO". 
He said it was not for Him to take away, but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my 
handicapped child whole, 
and God said "NO".
He said her spirit is whole, her body is only 
temporary.

I asked God to grant me 
patience, and God said "NO".
He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation, 
it isn't granted, it's 
earned.

I asked God to give me 
happiness, and God said 
"NO".
He said He gives blessings, happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me 
pain, and God said "NO".
He said suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings yo closer to me.

I asked God to make my 
spirit grow, and He said 
"NO".
He said I must grow on my 
own, but He will prune me 
to make me fruitful.

I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me,
And God said "Ah, finally 
you have the idea"!

Head back to return Companions to their home, then book it to the AO. Arrived 2 minutes late (sorry guys).

None due to poor time management by the Q.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
13 this fine Wednesday, including one FNG – Welcome Teller (Daniel Tanner)!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve mentioned this one before, but I need reminding of it myself pretty often: Eph. 5:25 – Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Not just his ultimate sacrifice on the cross, but daily, in every action. Extreme patience with his mule-headed disciples. Gathering the sick and lame to himself, even when he had just walked miles from another town or crossed the the sea all night under a raging storm in a rickety little boat. That’s giving yourself. How will you follow that example today?
MOLESKIN:
Our Companions really slowed down travel… We can get to the Coupons or we can get to the stairs across the street, but definitely not both! Even without getting there, it still felt like a lot more running than I intended. PAX killed it anyway though with no [audible] cussing…
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Don’t forget 3rd F on Saturday morning! Check GroupMe for the deets…
