CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I fartsacked on Friday.  I found out about the accountability of F3 when Bunny called me out for not showing up.  To paraphrase – to miss one F3 work out, shame on me.  To miss two workouts, shame on you.  I decided to up the accountability ante by picking up the Q.  Then I had to attend.

9 PAX PACMAN, SNITCH, GIBBLER, KENTUCKY, BLUEBIRD, CRABLEGS, SHARKY
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Spoke about the Tennessee/Alabama game and how Tennessee and it’s team resembles our lives a lot more than Alabama.  That sometimes our hard work doesn’t turn out the way we desired.  That obstacles and hardship don’t mean we’re being punished.  God just asks us to show up and be faithful.  To trust him no matter what is going on at any given time.  That he has a plan and sometimes it doesn’t look the way we wanted or thought might be best for us, but God sees the whole picture.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A friend of mine passed away last week.  He had struggled with MS for about 20 years.  But he never complained.  He worked really hard just to be able to live independently, but he experienced joy in spending time with friends, going to church and he appreciated being able to live the life he had.  I need to think of him more when I struggle to get up for F3, when I feel burned out with work, or I feel worn out with family.  I need to embrace the blessings I’ve been given if I am to be the man God wants me to be.  In other words, quit belly aching and love more.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers sent out to QVC, his son and his family for comfort and healing.
