Introduction

CoT:
I am not sure if any of you other men are keeping count but I chose 50 for another reason today as well. 50 days ago F3 Naperville performed its final workouts at official AO’s. I was on Q that day at The Ridge for a St. Pat’s beat down. When this pandemic started none of us could have imagined we would be sitting here 50 days later staring at another 25 days of stay at home order. My family & I moved to IL at the end of July last year & a short 30 days later I found F3 when I knew nobody here & had no friends. Many of you & others have impacted me greatly, some I get to see on a regular basis on these beat downs & others that I miss seeing that are blazing there on trail out in the gloom as well. Sometimes it takes something being taken away from you to realize how special & important it was. For me this is a reminder to not take for granted the things I have, the people I have met, & to enjoy the now not trying to live in the past or worry too much about what the future holds. I hope you each take a moment out of your day to reflect on what you have done the last 50 days to appreciate the little things or big things that have happened & impacted your life in one way or another. Aye!
Dear lord thank you for this opportunity to wake up early in the gloom & experience your greatness. We are humbled for the opportunity you give us every day to be in your glory & serve you as leaders in our community. Watch over those that are not as fortunate as many of us & give them healing & strength in their struggles. In your name we pray. Amen!
