COT
Announcements regarding Slack switch over in mid May and Convergence.
Gratitude for the simple blessings of breathe, a beautiful morning, heartbeats, fellowship, the warmth of the sun, gentle breezes, and the sound of birds singing.
Prayers for DoorDash’s Dad and continuing chemo and Big Blue’s diagnosis and further treatment. Prayers for courage and wisdom in challenging relationships.
Coffeeteria and QSD at Starbucks produced a healthy mix of depth in conversation and lighter banter bringing into focus not only what makes F3 meaningful for various PAX at different stages of their journey but also how we can challenge ourselves to lead and follow through with meaningful actions to correct and repair areas where our own individual leadership may need a course correction, to serve the men of F3 and our families in more meaningful ways.
