COT:
Q shared importance of sprint distance. 2,555 days is 7 years. It’s been that long since my bone marrow transplant after battling leukemia.
Some days you wake up and have an idea as to what will happen and some days the dice of fate you give you hardship. Along the way there have been ups and downs and issues galore but thankful to be on this side of it all.
Going into my fight I was as lukewarm in life as one could be, but that quickly changed as God kept peeking through in numerous ways. It helped to have a strong support system that continues to this day and has grown with F3. It’s an honor to be out with yall in the mornings.

Just. Be. Kind.

COT: Just. Be. Kind.
I know politics is off-limits, but I just had to address the elephant in the room. I am raw, and my heart is breaking as I bear witness to the vile behavior following last week’s election results. Tribalism and mean-spirited divisiveness is at an all-time-high. All around us, in every sphere of our lives. And it’s coming from BOTH “sides.” Please don’t contribute to this hatred and disunion. It is our job to bridge and heal gaps between each other, to facilitate understanding and love. We are all brothers and sisters created by the same God. The same Spirit animates our Souls. The affairs of governments do not supersede this truth. I know we all make mistakes on this front. I certainly have. But the key is to learn from these mistakes, to make amends, and to commit to a path of reconciliation, unconditional dialogue, and intentional relationship.

Triple Q Fail, triple confessions:

1) I would like to say I was following in the footsteps of my predecessor Crawdad (Robbi Dickens) and I took the week to meditate on last week’s Q before posting the backblast. But the truth is I went home after the workout and immediately started working on the yard, which I do not care about. Spent all day on it and was too tired to post this.

2) I like to get a little chatter going when I’m Qing, you know? But we went up everest and were generally on the move so much that I was out of breath and couldn’t say a whole lot. And we didn’t even get to the Jack Webb I had planned 🙁

3) I forgot our FNG’s name. Little Roll? Double Wide his potential brother in law will have to remember if/when Jason Sutton comes back.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Proton! Great October surprise

COT: High Heels (Henry Ritchie) requested prayer for his write-in campaign to become Weasel Shaker
