COT:

It has been about one year since COVID-19 social distancing restrictions set it. As you remember, it was a time of change and uncertainty. F3 workout groups halted nation-wide for over two months. I had been attending #atlantis with @Deflator as the site-Q. @Grease Monkey EH’d me into coming to my first F3 workout at #atlantis, and then again in July after F3 workouts resumed with social distancing restrictions. Honestly, F3 is not something that comes naturally. Props to all you are self-motivated to come out and join us. More often, those men most in need of us will need to be invited and encouraged to participate in our workouts. Do not feel guilty—EH someone, and they will thank you afterward.

COT:

· Q1.5: Relationship with the M

o Most important of all relationships

o To simply maintain the relationship, is to decelerate it

o Marriage takes work toward a common purpose

o It’s not about fairness and balance – that leads to score keeping and bitterness

o Your M is not your best friend – but instead plays a bigger role and a higher purpose than any best friend can

o The aim in marriage should be joy – a permanent state of hopeful satisfaction (not happiness which is fleeting and in the moment like a filling meal)

o When things get tough (and they do) double down on the relationship with your M

COT: Psalm 78:5-7 “He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.” Larry Fowler asks the question, “How will we raise our children so they will raise their children to follow God faithfully?” Think big gentlemen, set some long-term goals.
