Circle of Trust

These are tough times. We are challenged in ways we didn’t expect. We don’t know what today or tomorrow, or next week, month or next year brings. I have a senses of dread, I’m feeling down, worried, and anxious, for my family and our future. Im questioning my work, I’m questioning our leaders, my friends, even my family. And too be honest, I’m even questioning God. Yet, I find myself oddly calm most days and grounded and truly believe that getting up every morning, well okay not every morning, but most, getting out in the gloom with you guys, men from many walks of life is a significant reason why I’ve stayed grounded. The PAX of F3 have said it often, getting up and doing one of, if not the hardest thing we will do all day by 6A rewards us with better purpose and focus for the rest of the day. I don’t know whats going to happen today but I know Ill be getting back out into the gloom tomorrow morning and I’m grateful for that.
