COT:
Great gift I have to give is not money, not material items, not virtual social media posts, it’s my Time. I’m trying to spend as much time as possible with my family & friends, those are my priorities. My daughters will be leaving home for school, trying to soak in as much time as possible with each of them before they leave. Posting with you guys constantly in the gloom, shows how high priority this group, our F3 brothers mean to me. Thank each of you for what you’ve done to make this group so special. Happy Valentines Day!

Closing prayer & prayer request.

Special thanks to Rocketman for all his hard work and dedication for starting this AO over a year ago and bringing F3 to our neck of the woods and keeping this great thing going. Since Since I started with F3 not long ago (via Chasqui- thanks brother!), Ive seen positive changes in my personal life and have seen the impact it has on those who also embrace it.

To be in line with F3 core principles, Site Q responsibility is expected to rotate annually and I was presented this exciting opportunity and have accepted. As the new MNR Site Q I will do my best to preserve what Rocketman started and grow this legacy. Referring to the COT above, Im not an OG or the most knowledgable in all things F3, but Ill be dedicated to Monday Nights (and beyond). I might not have great decisions or ideas, but Ill show up regularly so you can tell me exactly what you think and we’ll grow together.

You da man Rocketman! SYITG

COT: recently I’ve been challenged with the concept of celebrity and just the overall posture towards putting athletes, actors, politicians etc on a pedestal – even including major sporting or other events. it was great to see yesterday how the country comes around a major event to celebrate dash but at times it seems like we go beyond – we take it too far. and in that process I believe we marginalize everyone that’s showing up to the day and moving through their own struggles and challenges and we need to be careful that we don’t forget everyone matters, everyone is a celebrity, everyone is overcoming a personal adversity. I want to recognize everyone for coming out this morning and to keep coming out – you don’t need to be a celebrity to be important and be careful to not put others on a pedestal.
