Circle of Trust
“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. Oh, tell me I may sponge away the writing on this stone!” A Christmas Carol, Stave 5 – Charles Dickens.
Takeaway:
Past – learn from it
- who’d you want to be, be it in Present
- make mistakes, fix them in Present
Present – area of operation (take lessons from Past here, make steps toward Future goals here)
- live in the Present with insights form Past and directions from where want to be in Future
Future
- make plans, whether small or large (want to improve a skill; want to eat better/exercise more; be more present on homefront; improve at work – dream it and make steps to execute)
Prayers for all impacted by uptick in COVID and those felt trapped by Present, and gave thanks for F3 fitness, fellowship & faith as part of our lives.
Naked Man Moleskin
YHC put on the Elf outfit – it’s Christmas. Chazz rode in apparently on struggle bus from Ruck Fun last night. Dorn made it back on flight and joined. Riunite, Chain Link, Urban Cowboy and Bear Spray ever-present and in fine form. Ghost Pepper back in the mix with YHC.
The non-traditional Christmas Tunes we’re spot on – special thanks to Brother Bluto for sharing his list (I’ve Got a Boner for Christmas had the PAX cracking up, but won’t make it home later). Nothing says Christmas like Lil Jon, Dropkick Murphys & speed metal!
Incredibly – we had the full house at Coffeeteria ~ and special thanks to Full House for being the anti-Scrooge and treating us all!
Merry Christmas!
