Revelation 3:15-16.  We are HIMs at our AOs in the mornings because we come out early and work hard to get better.  Don’t be lukewarm in your every day lives, but be HIMs all the time in everything that you do.  If you are lukewarm spiritually, God will spit you out of His mouth because He wants you to be hot for Him.
MOLESKIN:
Kudos to those starting the workout with a ruck (Bagger, Doubtfire, and Judge Judy) as well as a 4 mile pre-run from Gump and YHC.

11 HIMs got better today with 1 FNG!  Welcome Cable Boy!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Give Thanks!  We should all remember to give thanks when it is due not just around the holidays.  In that regard, I would like to give thanks to my F3 brothers.  Thank you for keeping me motivated to come and get better early in the morning.  If it wasn’t for you guys, I would be stuck in my fartsack until I got up for work.  I also want to thank everyone who has been on Q and shared their message at the end of the workouts.  I’m a very reserved/compartmentalized person.  Everyone being open and honest and sharing what is on their minds/hearts has helped and continues to help me become a better person.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I was recently accepted into medical school. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand it is a wonderful opportunity that I have worked very hard to attain, but also a whole slew of new doors and responsibilities await me. It is ironic that I have a certain place to go, yet I feel more uncertain now that I am accepted. With all that being said, it is time for me to go out into the world. There are times in life where opportunities arise and you must take the decisive step to take advantage of the opportunity. That means putting some of the uncertainty on hold and accepting it. It is a sort of leap of faith I suppose.

I know we all have done this after all. We all came out to our first F3 workout not knowing what to expect. Look at us now. 🙂
MOLESKIN:
Toto mentioned during the COT that now is the time to reach out to our brothers. The holiday season can be the best of times and also the worst. Take the initiative and reach out!!!
