For my COT:

This week I started band camp. On the wall in the gym they have a banner for the Special Olympics with their oath that says…

“Let me win. 

But if I cannot win… let me be brave in the attempt.”

This means a lot to me because when I first started F3 I was just getting serious with sports, but I hadn’t done much for working out. As I think back on the past couple of years, I’ve learned that I love to win…but there’s also value in simply being brave enough to try. 

I am grateful that F3 has taught me how to work hard, and be brave enough to connect with those around me. 

I want to thank you all for being here today. This was not easy for me to do, but I wanted to be brave enough to lead here today…
so that I can be brave enough to lead wherever else I go. 

Thank you…
Bogey is going to lead us in prayer to close.
