  • Nine strong this morning. Tclaps to Big Sky who”s building a pretty impressive Ripken going over the past 2 weeks. Just take it easy!
  • Difficult news out of Lexington, SC as F3Nation mourns one of our own. 5 PAX were sleeveless for Cheech.
  • Prayer – God is sovereign and we are not. We do not understand why Cheech died yesterday and may never will understand. Prayers for peace and protection around his M, 2.0”s, family, friends, and the Lexington community.

Moleskin –
From what I gather, Cheech was married, had 2 young kids, and loved F3. All things I have in common with him. Seeing F3 community immediately rally together, pray, and plan to serve his loved ones reminds me what draws me back each week. I”m just over half way through Freed to Lead and the story at the end of the second chapter (about FNGs) rings true:
“True Story: An FNG Posted one morning, Splashed Merlot, and otherwise (in his mind, and only in his mind) disgraced himself. At the end of the Workout, he got his F3 Name in the COT and was dragging his Six back to his car when he stumbled accidentally into the Workout Q, who was obliviously admiring his pecs in the window of his Lexus. The FNG must have felt a little goofy because he went ahead and blurted out what was on his mind. He apologized for “slowing the group down.” The Q laughed and replied that he hadn”t slowed anything down. “Anyway,” the Q told the FNG, “Brother, you”re the reason we are here in the first place. You are why we are here.” (pg. 20)
