The Best of Johnny Cash

10 pax, those fortunate enough to awake from their dreams, pushed through their superstitions and fears to gather Downtown where Jason (F3 name is Madoff) was Q on Friday the 13th.   It was an eerie morning where Stroganoff kept peering over his shoulder and mumbling something about a chainsaw and hocky mask.  Fortunately, the chainsaw turned out to be nothing more than a city employee with a leaf blower and ear buds singing from Dr. Dre’s album, The Chronic, “Yo, I breaks ‘em off. I breaks ‘em off cheap. Deadly as Jason on Friday the 13th.”

Great effort today by the PAX…not just with the exercises but also in forging relationships that matter.

 

I read this verse yesterday & was challenged by it.  I believe these words are a good summation of what we’re all striving for as dads, husbands, friends, leaders, and F3 idiots.

 

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

 

**”act like men” is often translated as “be courageous
