Devo by Lego & Cheers:
PROVERBS 27:17 – As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
6 years. That’s a long time. A lot of things can happen in 6 years. What has happened in the life of Shawshank during that time? For one thing every AO on this side of town can trace it’s roots back to The Shank. Men have lost weight and become more physically fit than they ever thought they could. Men have ran everything from 5ks to marathons. Men have been involved in 30 hour relay races, GoRucks, and obstacle courses. Most of us probably thought we may have been able to do that back when we were Gills age, but not anymore. Yet here we are.
Based upon what I have experienced and what I have heard others say and do, Shawshank and F3 has done a lot more than turn middle aged mean into studs. We have also become better husbands, become new fathers or better fathers. We have become Sunday School teachers and church leaders. We have Pax that give up their time for one worthy cause after another. We have become the type of men that people want to have in their company, in their neighborhood, in Lexington. None of us are perfect, but I would bet 100% of the men here today are better physically, emotionally, and spiritually than the day before F3. That is what Proverbs 27:17 put into practice looks like.
As big as F3 Lexington is, it isn’t big enough. Sad Clowns are still existing within our community. I truly feel sorry for them. In the following years to come, let us all re-commit ourselves to living out all three F’s. Let each one of us make sure that we allow ourselves to be sharpened as we sharpen our brother.
