Preserves peace in your soul

Induces kindly thoughts

Inspires kindly deeds.

SMILE TO YOURSELF…

…until you notice that your constant seriousness, or even severity, has vanished.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
16 men (some from Equalizer, Shamrock, and the Project) descended upon JUCO to support Butterknife’s appointing as AOQ
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Live third.

As men of F3 we are called to live third. Our creator comes first, followed by our community. We need to strive to put the interests of others above our own. Butterknife is a HIM that I have seen grow a ton over the last 2.5 years that he’s been out at F3. He has shared aspects of his life with us and expressed how much F3 has done for him, as it has for me as well. One aspect that I really appreciate is his desire to put others first. He is quick to pick up the six or make an FNG feel welcome. He’s been a leader at JUCO and has helped us all to grow. Today I’m excited to pass the torch of JUCO AOQ to Butterknife. I know he’ll lift up the men of JUCO and help push the mission of F3 as a whole.

Philippians 2: 1-11

2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, ²complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. ³Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. ⁴Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. ⁵Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,^[a] ⁶who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,^[b] ⁷but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,^[c] being born in the likeness of men. ⁸And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. ⁹Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, ¹⁰so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

MOLESKIN:
I’m still convinced that Butterknife grows stronger every time he gets COVID.
