COT

F3 Chattanooga has shined with the recent weather events and the Covid 19 situation. I am extremely proud to be part of this group of men. We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus and to show the light of Jesus to the world. This group and all of their volunteer work shows the leadership of you men!
BALL OF MAN: Congregation of two or more men in physical contact, usually (but not exclusively) in the prayer that terminates the COT. Abbr: BOM]

    COT

    Matthew 5:9
    Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they will be called the Sons of God.

    This past week’s sermon from Father/Pastor Blindside (Same) Greer highlighted this verse and he did a much better job explaining. Obviously – the verse and his message – it was poignant and applicable in this time of our lives given the current events. Everyone’s life has changed. Everyone has changed their normal routine and everyone is accepting this differently. Some are scared, some are timid, some are angry…

    One thing I’ve noticed is the way others seem to be treating one another out in public. It no longer feels like the South, where folks often give a friendly nod or a “Hows your day?”, holding doors open.

    I know that in our daily lives we are all being instructed to distance ourselves which causes us to sometimes see others as a threat. During these times, we should embrace this and become peacemakers in our routines. Even more than ever, should we go out of our way to offer a ‘Hello’ or even just a friendly gesture. If you just ask someone how you can help, that often times translates into a peace-offering. That’s simple and something we can all try to focus on every day, but especially in these days.

    Another something Blindside said this past weekend that really stuck with me, “Troubling times and Opportunity often run on parallel tracks”, like in the sense you might think of two trains running parallel. While the Hamill rd Train crossing doesn’t have an exit or overpass, in life we do. Seek opportunity through Peace.

    • Shirtless = Magical
      • Ducktales = Mike Holtzhower
        • Shirtless Ducktales = Magic Mike
          • Any questions?
    • Good thing Mayhem isn’t in full stereo in all workouts; mid-thang sounded like the emphysema was starting to set in
    • Virtual beatdowns are weird, but effective
    • Some guys have early 2000 model Champagne Hondas in their garage, some have Land Rovers; F3 spans all things great and small

    News

    Noting the above comment about chaotic times and opportunity, encouraged me. I knew I was missing F3 in my life and thought others might feel the same.

    Trouble – F3 has been suspended
    Opportunity – Virtual AOs

    Check preblasts and slack and get involved. SYITG
