Proverbs 17:27 – As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

I feel that F3 has sharpened me.  I was telling my son, who is 21 and is at UT, that I was impressed that he has been working out more and is getting six-pack back.  I told him that he needs to stay the course, for the rest of his life.  I wish I had been more consistent (committed) to working out for the last 30 years.  Now that I am a part of F3, the working out part is easy to stay committed to (for me) but the biggest influence on my life has been the second and third F of F3.  I see how you other guys open up about your struggles and talk about what you do to stay the course.  It encourages (sharpens) me to be intentional about the other parts of my life that I may have let slide somewhat.  It is not just about working hard in the boot camp and other activities.  It is about putting in the time to make the other parts of our lives sharper as well.
