THA-THANG:

8 PAX: 2 back from out of town, 1 down range, 1 FNG (Speed Racer)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve gotten flack over the years for telling my kids that Santa isn’t real in the mythical, delivers presence sense. This makes interactions with other kids awkward, but I have a reason. To me, the whole believing in Santa thing feels like a cheap knock off of the real thing to believe from this season. A truth much more profound and amazing than the Santa game (we call it a game of pretend in our house that many other people around the world like to play each year). It’s odd to me that we will get into discussions over Santa more quickly and fervently than reveling in the true story of God becoming a man. Just ask around for a little while and you’ll find that the vast majority of people do not believe in Santa, yet are willing to keep up the illusion for the sake of “Christmas Spirit”. I think of the whole quote from one of the Santa movies where the kid asks, “Have you ever seen a million dollars? Well than how do you know its real if you’ve never seen it?” The dude in the movie is stumped, but it’s a simple fix. He just asks around a small amount, and he could go see a million dollars if he really wanted to (or at least meet someone with access to a bank vault who could go have a peek and report back). Yet with the story of Jesus, we have eye witness account from hundreds of people, documented in some of the most historically validated documents in all of antiquity, and we don’t want to even talk about it? Okay, let me hop off my soap box now. The main point is this: I don’t perpetuate the Santa myth because something so much more interesting has happened. Myth became reality in the person of Jesus, born in Bethlehem, and changed the entire world. And more significantly, saved a wretch like me. Merry Christmas everyone. And happy holidays to those so inclined to have a faith in something different than I do (even Santa ;P)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We are more than numbers. As leaders, we provide vision — desired future state. We engage. We execute a plan. WE measure (clear, agreed upon, defined end). We fix & adapt. These skills push us to be our best and bring others with us.

A blast from the past

THE SCENE:  the type of gloom that just touches your soul. Heavy heavy rain, thunder and as Drifter called it “real lighting” . We assessed and the pax felt good with starting under the pavilion. 
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

  • 9LBAC forward

  • 10 LBAC backwards

THA-THANG:
Todays beatdown was an homage to a Bombshelter legend Hammy. In honor of his Triple Respect birthday yesterday Q dug into the archives and put together some Hammy classics. Q also included a little         Hammy-isum before each Thang-Thang. Those that have experienced a Hammy Q know it’s not just the beatdown where your mind and body are challenged. A Hammy BOM is sometimes more impactful than the beatdown, and that’s saying a lot. Hammy had to relinquish todays Q due to an injury so Q felt it only seemed fitting to give us a Hammy Q.

Hammy-isum:  “ We should appreciate the freedom we have that was started in 1776 and resulted in 1% of the colony’s citizens giving their life to attain it.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
F3 is so unique and special. You can’t find an organization where men can surround themselves with men from all walks of life from 18-70. It gives us the chance to grow as men in so many ways. I’m so thankful for F3.
MOLESKIN:
Hammy you’re an inspiration to this pax and I’m honored to gridded away aside you. Q realized that Hammy would probably be asking why I would do this beatdown because it’s not like he is dead.

Leadership is influence. F3 is about growing male leadership in our community. Enough said.

Triple Respect 🤜🤛
