A man of his word and one of my inspirations for staying centered and serving my community. He was also clear in saying what he was going to do and followed through on his comittments. F3 represents so many of the qualities I saw in my grandfather and I am grateful for the group. Closed with a prayer – it was a beautiful morning!

WORDS OF WISDOM

“No one can travel so far that he does not make some progress each day. So let us never give up. Then we shall move forward daily in the Lord’s way. And let us never despair because of our limited success. Even though it is so much less than we would like, our labour is not wasted when today is better than yesterday!” ― John Calvin
