Circle of Trust
COT – Napoleon Bonaparte – a famous name in history who is mentioned frequently for some negative qualities ( many deserved) but he had many positive qualities as well. We know about his appetite for power and conquest, but he had unbelievable organizational skills. He would would be on the front line fight a war while he was governing France and the many lands that he won as conquered. He had 3 secretaries that worked 8 hour shifts. He literally worked around the clock managing government as he conquered. The Parrish system in Louisiana that he created is still utilized. Here are some of great quotes:
Ability is nothing without opportunity.
Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.
You become strong by defying defeat and by turning loss and failure into success.
Napoleon-Bonaparte-impossible
Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.
Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.
There are only two forces that unite men – fear and interest.
If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.
Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go.
Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
Napoleon-Bonaparte-spread-your-wings
Until you spread your wings, you’ll have no idea how far you can fly.
A leader is a dealer in hope.
Riches do not consist in the possession of treasures, but in the use made of them.
History is a set of lies agreed upon.
The fool has one great advantage over a man of sense; he is always satisfied with himself
You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.

Prayer… Dear Lord, I pray for you blessing on this men. I pray that you would fill them with your wisdom. help them to be good fathers and husbands. Through this adversity be with them as they make decisions that effect their future. We thank you for your goodness. We prayer for all these things in the name of Jesus.
Naked Man Moleskin
I thought we had a good Saturday morning. I tried to bring some of the football double session senses to the morning. (The smell of grass, sound of the whistle, the burn of muscles pushing to the limit). We had a fun time as group. Tourniquet had fun critiquing my Q. (Which I appreciate). I know there are some things that I need to continue to work on. We had Jimmy Neutron & Better Call Saul hitting their first 6 pack. (This was exciting for the guys at the Ridge). Oscar the Grough joined us. He was an FNG from Fred Flintsone. Corning Stone had his 3rd post this week. He is new to the F# brotherhood. He posted 3 times this week. We were both out at the complex for Bike Club on Thursday. He is a great guy who is determined to get back in shape. (Watch him – I think he will be the next big success story). I had a bit of a calf issue on the quarter mile sprint but hobbled through the running. Thank you again to my F3 brothers and all the support. Breakaway
