Moleskin:
-Numbers are really hard for Detainees. This has always been an issue, but as they age, it’s really becoming problematic. These men don’t even know their ages.
-Kotters, Candystripe. Great seeing you, brother!
-Whining isn’t mumblechatter
–Majority of the men were not whiny today and put in some serious work. Patches wanted it to be known that he didn’t complain at all. Way to go, man – hopefully, Tardy will print this out and show you today.
-It’s fun to reflect on the growth of Detention – most importantly, the growth of so many friendships. Let’s keep this going. It’s driven my desire to become better in a lot of ways.

Devo:
Originally given by Treadmill, who played a big part of my F3 journey.
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
-Proverbs 27:17
The Christian life is a pilgrimage. At times the road is difficult, and we get lonely. Sometimes we may become discouraged and consider abandoning the journey. It is at such times that God will place a friend alongside us. One of God’s most precious gifts to us is friends who encourage us and lovingly challenge us to “keep going.”
It is equally important to examine the kind of friend you are to others. As a friend, it is your duty to put the needs of others first (Prov. 17:17). Strive to find godly friends who will challenge you to become the person God desires. When you have found them, be receptive to the way God uses them to help you become spiritually mature. Strive also to be the kind of friend that helps others become more like Christ.
I started F3 almost 2 years ago for the same reason as most of the pax…to get in shape. I started F3 for me. Quickly I realized that it wasn’t about me. Most workout methods are self centered. I used to go to “the fern” for me. Seems selfish now as I reflect. I have said many times that there is a Turning Point in one’s F3 journey in which he no longer post for himself, but post for his brothers. Yet it is he that gets better in return. Accountability in it’s finest form…physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually.
