MOLESKINE

F3 is such a gift and we are blessed to have the freedom to gather and work out together.  Last week at F3 Navy in Valley, Hotwire noted how his contractor from Ukraine made a comment while observing some college guys on the lake having a good time that “that’s what boys that age should be doing; back home, the boys are fighting”.  So often we take for granted our freedom.  We live our lives reacting.  F3 principles are in line with the 4 principles of Authentic Manhood from the 33 Series (Christian video/workbook men’s group reference) which are to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, and invest eternally.  We have the freedom to pause and create vision in our lives.  How often do we use our free time for meaningless phone scrolling?  I encourage all to reject passivity and lead your family in a way that honors the good lord above.

Cheers.

 

Ball of Man.

End in Prayer.
