Naked Man Moleskin
- Baarack the Sheep was a sheep that had wandered from it’s flock & Shepard lost in the woods. It is unknown exactly how he got there, what caused him to wander off aimlessly, or how long he had been lost but his wool had come to weigh over 75 lbs near the world record. Over that time the wool had become matted, dirty, he was losing his sight, & probably the point of no return.
- Men, many times in our lives we find ourselves like Baarack: lost, wandering aimlessly, weighted down by life, not able to see clearly. I know recently I have found myself in this position. Wandering from some of my good habits, not prioritizing my Shield Lock accountability on a regular basis, going through the motions at work.
- That is what is great about F3 is our brothers will not let us wander off to far b/c we leave no man behind. Just like the parable that Jesus taught us in the story of the “99”. The Shepard leaves the 99 to go find the 1 & rejoices over it more than the 99 that did not go astray. That is how we should look after our F3 brothers. Not just celebrating those who are accelerating but searching out for the ones that are lost, the ones that we have not heard from. I bet we will rejoice more in bringing a guy back to F3 just like Jesus did in the Story of the 99
- My call to action is who have you not heard from? Who have you noticed is different than they normally are? Maybe it is time to find that 1 & reach out to them. AYE!!
