Pledge

I always like to share a word on my Q so I talked about the third “F” in F3, Faith. I told the guys how my faith had kept me from so many troubles in my life and guided me toward so many blessings. I asked that each man consider his faith and work to improve it for his family but also for himself. I know for a fact that God’s plan for each of us is way better than the plans we have for ourselves. I reminded our guys that F3 is great to help our faith and we should all try to be active in a church to get all that He has for us.
