CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We all need to keep perspective.  It has been a long week for an Election Day, which has been called by some the most important election ever.  Someone says that every election.  Whatever happens with this or any other election, it is still better than what we had under a king or queen sitting on a throne.  As Cersei said to Ned Stark, “When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.  There is no middle ground.”  At least we don’t have that anymore.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife, Lillydipper’s wife, Mr. Jinxy’s wife, and the family of Pondzi’s colleague who committed suicide.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
You have seen it in posts, heard someone say it or possibly someone call you one. HIM, or High Impact Man, is what we strive to be to our spouses, kids, family, community etc.. I am impressed daily with F3 and the HIMs in this group. I’ve seen selflessness, giving, sacrifices, hard work, time , and love freely given by this group. F3 Knoxville is huge. What would happen if all of our members would mirror these attributes? You have heard the phrase that 10% of the people do 90% of the work. It is very true. Sadly people in this world talk a big game but rarely step up and get their hands dirty. F3 is different. WE ARE MORE THAN JUST A WORKOUT. We do and not say. I’m very happy to be a part of F3 Knoxville and get to see HIMs in action.

But there is always opportunity to step up. Ask yourself, what have I done for others in the last 6 months? When was the last time I gave up my time for others? If you have to think about it for more than a minute, then there is opportunity to be a better HIM. Life is busy, we have lots of things on our plate, but there’s always time to help others. So this week dig deep and find out where you can be a blessing to someone else.
