Circle of Trust
YHC shared that the theme GIVING BACK was related to Shield Locking because he’s received so much from the PAX and wants to give back. If you’re involved in an organization, BE INVOLVED!
Fitness is the magnet that draws us in
Fellowship is the glue that keeps us here
Faith is the dynamite that propels us forward as HIM (high impact men). Belief in higher power but also just belief in something bigger than yourself and wanting to give back by bringing more brothers into the F3 fold.
We prayed for the country divided to be brought together by GOD, Ellis and family (yazoo’s friend who passed away), Badger’s friend Anne and her family, those traveling.
Naked Man Moleskin
YHC thought we’d get to fight 2 rounds of the battles today and “the war”, but we barely finished 1 round. Next time we fight the war!
