Words of wisdom: Life gives us many opportunities to take shortcuts and we are all prone to wonder. Surround yourself with brothers that will keep you on the right track and ask some of them to be your accountability partners through your struggles. The Holy Spirit moves into our hearts when we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior and therefore the war against Sin is won, however, the daily battles against the Sin still rage. To be more like Christ requires a lifetime, always remember progressive sanctification.

The strong numbers continue as the weather warms up. YHC knew of several pax who were unable to post due to various family commitments preventing them from doing and I was unsure of how many pax would post this weekend. This is the main reason we have postponed F3 Dads. My weinkie was prepared for low numbers and also for higher numbers as well. I was excited that when the clock struck 0700 we had 8 guys because this triggered me to be able to do F3 Ultimate Frisbee which I’ve been wanting to do for a while. So a few exercises got immediately cut once we began.  

AirWolf was in town from Hampton Roads, Virginia for a wedding and we pleased to welcome him. YHC is familiar with F3 Hampton Roads because of Priorities in Monterey came from Virginia. Dreamliner and the pax in Virginia seem to be a group of HIMs. (High Impact Men for those who don’t know the acronym) AirWolf originally hails from nearby Loomis so we hope to see him again in the future though it might be a while as the Air Force takes him to Japan in the near future. Will we see a flag planted in the Land of the Rising Sun? YHC is excited we’ve had a few pax join us while DR, guys are checking the map on the Nation’s site and finding our Mustard Seed.

Ponch brought out his drone this weekend and captured some aerial footage as a test run. We also used the drone to take our post workout photo from above. It’s a tad more high tech than leaning a cell phone against a water bottle on the ground. Hopefully we can get more drone video in the near future possibly to be used as marketing material.

Announcements:

  • Ponch has the Q next Saturday.
  • Sign up to Q or Co-Q with someone. F3 is stronger when many pax step up and lead.
  • F3 Dads has been postponed. Future date will be announced soon.
  • Sunday update: Ponch sends me a text in church that he had just EH’d a guy in the lobby. That’s what “Give it Away” is all about, talking to a local guy? Bring it up casually and invite him.
  • YHC believes that most pax are on our Band group. Be sure to let another pax know and he can send you the invite if you are not on there yet.
  • F3 will be expanding in San Jose this summer! Start EH’ing guys in the area. The AO will be at Santa Teresa High School
