YHC arrived to find Greg Fishel was right. There was plenty of fog, just as predicted. This was going to be fun. The VSF was planted, the disclaimer was issued, and we were off to take Ethanol on a victory lap at Williams Park before moving to a new site and time next week – 11/19 at Crabtree Valley Mall at 0530. This morning we were going to keep it tight and cover as much ground as possible.

12/4 – Second F Free Bowling at The Alley
As always, thank you for the opportunity to lead. Two years today marks my first post (North Hills) after an invitation from Maize during Sunday School at ESUMC. I had no idea what most of the exercise were. I was just trying not to spill merlot or draw attention to myself. When I started F3 I was in a rut and definitely a #sadclown. With a busy career, a great wife, three small children (seven, five, and 8 months at the time), and numerous church and community volunteer responsibilities, I wasn’t sure how I would fit F3 into the schedule.
After my first post I was hooked. I made time.
Shortly thereafter, the opportunity to serve came, most notably through Hopebuilder and getting to know Jim Young (Dufresne) and his family. For me, the second F and CSAUP events came much later, but as many others have done, I made them a priority. We’re all building the road 40 feet ahead of us out of whatever we can. There’s a bond among the men of F3 and I’m grateful for the level of trust I share with you all. The best part is the chance to EH someone new and share this with others. As a former minister of mine shared years ago, “It’s one beggar showing another beggar where the food is.” Indeed. See you all in the gloom!
AYE!
