CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Today was my 100th posting and 20th Q. While a vast majority of those posts and Q’s have come from the Equalizer, I have also been able to post at Asylum AM, Asylum PM. Asylum Sat., Truckstop Sat., The Dogpound, Shamrock, and the Quacken. I have also was lucky enough to have 2 downrange postings at F3Low Country on Hilton Head Island this summer. I started tracking my Posts and Q’s a while back after noticing a “100 Posts in 2021” patch on the F3 Gear website. 

The HIMs of F3Knoxville will never know their impact on my life in just the few months I have been participating in workouts. Before March 1st, I was in a rut that I didn’t even know how deep. The running workouts I was doing on my own became less and less frequent and when I did run, I pushed myself less and less. Most of my friends had moved away from Knoxville over the past few years, and those that were in town were able to get together with little to no frequency. My faith was waning. I did not have a routine in which I had a healthy prayer life. 

F3Knoxville allowed me to find the answers to all 3 of these problems. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the answers were even in the name! I was struggling with all three F’s and didn’t even know it! Since that early Monday morning on March 1st, all three F’s in my life have grown tremendously. I have a fitness routine that mixes up all styles of exercises that I can always count on a great beatdown, I have men in Knoxville that I can call on for anything and everything, and I now know that I will leave each workout uplifted through the prayer of the PAX. 

Thank you F3 Brothers. I am lucky to have all of you in my life.

2 Chronicles 7:14 – If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive them their sin and will heal their land.
MOLESKIN:
In a society and an era that feels very far apart from God, he promises us that if HIS people will turn from THEIR wicked ways, he will heal the land.  As men and leaders it’s important that we look inwardly in these uncertain times.  God will use our humility and dedication to him to spread his kingdom here on earth.
