YHC covered the Mission, Vision and five principles. We reviewed the disclaimer (including “for the next 45 minutes I am not your friend”). The PAX welcomed FNG Tim and we moseyed to the football field. The fence was “locked” says the Site Q, so we ran to the opposite side of the field for entry. A strange tent with billowing smoke was set up at the entrance. Lots of giggling and grab ass seemed to be going on inside the tent. We moved along quickly. Nothing to see here.

PAX moseyed back to the shovel flags. Two more tents were constructed at the entrance of the football field. Smoke billowed from one tent. PAX were told to avoid eye contact with the strange men emerging from the tents.

COT: WHY DO WE DO THE LITTLE THINGS?

F3 is about FITNESS, FELLOWSHIP AND FAITH. WE EXIST TO PLANT, GROW AND SERVE SMALL WORKOUT GROUPS FOR THE INVIGORATION OF MALE COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP. OUR CREDO IS TO LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND AND LEAVE NO MAN WHERE YOU FOUND HIM. F3 WORKOUTS ARE OPEN TO ALL MEN, FREE, ALWAYS OUTSIDE, LED IN A ROTATING FASHION, AND END WITH A CIRCLE OF TRUST.

Why do we always start every workout by stating the Mission, Five Principles and the Credo? We do it because the little things matter.

It matters because we have over 60 workouts a week that stretch from Bennington to Bellevue. That is 60 different leaders who are unpaid volunteers. It is why PAX can go to any of these sites and essentially have the same experience.

It matters because we send High Impact Men into the world. People like me who left Greensboro, NC for Omaha, NE. I learned everything we do from F3Greensboro. Those PAX understand that the little things matter in the gloom and beyond. It matters because HIM like DOA left Omaha, NE for Clarksville, TN. DOA will take what he learned from Omaha and establish a new region. We must DO IT RIGHT. People are watch and learning from other F3 Leaders. As we grow, we must always understand that little things matter.

We ended with a prayer.

Grace & Peace,

Wait Time
