Prayers offered for Cupid’s mother who fell, broke a rib, and punctured a lung. She has suffered and we humbly offer our prayers on her behalf. We also prayed for Spud’s former coworker Nancy who joined the Navy and completed Basic at Great Lakes, but is now separated from her husband. The military life isn’t easy. Their sacrifices for our country go further than we sometimes realize.
Thank you for the opportunity to lead, thank you for your efforts, thank you for making F3 a meaningful part of my life. Today’s theme, as per Spud, was “get outside your comfort zone” and I think we accomplished that. There was much huffing and puffing up the hill and gnashing of teeth at the top. A sniper got Neverland but he persisted with BCR’s assistance. He has a tough exterior, but some say BCR actually has a heart of gold. Coffee time at Groundwork’s was full of mirth and cheer. We discussed prepping for the cleaning lady, Russians meddling via FaceApp, and how you get ants. I look forward to leading again soon.
Popeye
