COT: Words of Wisdom from Zeus “Respect”- Wisdom spoken into my life from my mom when I was 25. She was a single parent that raised me and talked to me often. She was always ready to give good healthy life advice when I needed it. RIP Mom. These were her words: Realize your purpose, be great, be human, be yourself and don’t die wondering what happens next but knowing that you left the best of you behind. Words of Wisdom from Major Payne “Respect”-
F3 inspired me when I started attending workouts in Chapel Hill, NC and helped me through some tough times while there. I knew it had to be part of my life here in the capital, and the fact that it was part of my life helped me through the pandemic for sure. I know whenever I come out to a beatdown, it’s going to make my day better so that I can deal with whatever adversity I face throughout the day. It makes me more capable, more tolerant of craziness and just a better husband, father, brother, son and person in general. And when I fall on my face, as we all do on occasion, I know I have my brothers to pick me up. Thanks to God and thanks to all the PAX for that! Aye!
Words of wisdom from our most senior PAX Joint Chief “Respect, Respect”- In my Air Force career, I enjoyed the camaraderie of group workouts and brothers pushing pushing one another to do better. I thank Slider for the invitation to join F3 when I was going through some dark days of COVID isolation that led to backsliding on my workouts. F3 has helped me renew my fitness regimen as well as my mental and Physical health. I now have an 8 month old grandson. Every workout will give me more “Grandpa” time! I am energized by all my F3 brothers to keep working out, and if a 61 year old Grandpa can motivate just one Pax to stick with it, I will be a happy man! So keep at it men, for your mental, physical, and spiritual health!!! Close out prayer led by Joint Chief.

COT: Let Your Life Speak
Devotional Summary: (YouVersion Jour WU to the Olympics)
We opened this plan with a comment about the desire for bringing some fresh air into your prayer life. In our Podinars we prayed that the athletes would have some of the best performances of their lives. Yet that does not guarantee a victory. Prayer is not a magic formula. It is not shopping in God’s department store with a no-limit credit card to buy what we want. Jenny Simpson entered the 2021 Track and Field trials with hopes of returning to a fourth Olympics. That did not happen, but it does not change God’s faithfulness.
In the moments after her race, Jenny immediately went to congratulate the three who did qualify. She let her life speak. We can do the same. There may not be millions watching how you respond. But you always have an audience of one. Let your life speak each day. Have the courage to be vulnerable, trust God and put your best self forward.
