Words – Rev Flo Rida – shared his recent job change story and emphasized two things, IMHO, first…what you think is ideal may neither be the best outcome or what will come to fruition.  And second, focus on improving yourself and ask for help to get better as a human whether that is from your god or friends, family, or F3 men and by getting better the right things will come to you!

Honor to lead,

Welcome FNG Gift Box, well done BamBam for giving F3 away and helping to grow the group and Monday.

Check in with your parents, kids, wife, and friends.  Just ask how they are doing or if anything is bothering them.  And then listen.  Don’t try to solve the problem, just let them talk.  And of course offer your help at the end.
