Prayers for #EllieRules and @F3Cherokee

The F3 Credo is: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.  

Asked PAX to reflect: What does it mean to you?

That principle is applicable to everyone you encounter in life – at F3, at work, at restaurant, on street, at home, etc.  

• At F3 – bring an FNG to improve his fitness, fellowship, faith
• At work – ask a struggling colleague how you can lighten their load, talk to the shy guy/gal, take moment to socialize
• At restaurant – be patient with wait staff, express appreciation, leave solid tip
• On street – give directions, hold a door, let others merge in traffic
• At home – recognize “team” effort, offer help, give 100% (if each spouse gives 50%, it ain’t good enough ~ 50%+50% ≠100%)

Aligns with my credo: It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice…

Thanks to Creator

Naked Man Moleskin

Hootie brought it today and tore the bases up – #Respect

Ice & baseball diamonds do not mix (why Spring Training not held in Northern Illinois in February)

Ebeneezer falls gracefully

Doing Freddie Mercurys to the Queen song “Bicycle Race” is tough (3:01 is a burner)

Remember…It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice…
