Introduction

Thunder Storm warnings and early morning rain made my AOVQ a bit different.  This was my first time ever at the new flag drop for The Colosseum so i wanted to get there early to survive my options as the weather could get much worse.

4:55am arrived at the AO, Happy Camper showed up just after me.  Put on the head lamp and took a mosey around the grounds to see the conditions and how to modify.  I was planning on Pearl on the String workout to take advantage / learn the lay of the land.

5:15am the other HC PAX showed up and based on the thunder and incoming heavy rain we decided to take the workout to the Pavilion.  Time to modify from my original plan.

Circle of Trust

I want to focus on the 3rd F for a moment.  We have done a great job accelerating our Fitness, Fellowship is showing more and more, now we need to think about our Faith.   How can we do something larger than ourselves.  F3 Crossroads’ first 3rd F event and fundraiser is this Saturday in remembrance of 9/11 and celebrate our first responders.  We ask all of you to purchase some delicious BBQ, meet up at the Ridge for some 2nd F family fund, while supporting a great charity and 3rd F.

Q-Source is full of great information to inspire leadership and help us to “Get Right”.  The core principles are easy when you take action on them.  We are excited to have Q-Source abridged starting soon for the Crossroads to prepare us for the full 50 week content next year.  Joe Dirt is starting an evening Bible Study to further encourage PAX to discuss things larger than themselves.  Continue to give back and get right.
