Chillipepper:  Building Sand Castles

Pax were given (2) 5 Gallon buckets and a few plastic cups.  The challenge at hand, build the most sand castle towers using the 5 gallon buckets.  Easy?  You should only get sand from cones at 30 ft., you could only get water from the crótalos clear waters at 80 ft.  One pax had to stand guard doing SSH while other pax braved the elements getting sand or water.  May the most  ingenuitive and brawn pax win.

Circle of Trust:   In the Water

Thanks for everyone to start the great 4th Holiday  with the HIM of F3 Suncoast. Congratulations on the 3rd Anniversary and how strong this region has become in the past 3 years.

While we are hearing many opinions on what we can do and our choices, (with masks, kneeling, protesting, etc), I asked the Pax to think about the big picture of what we have and the freedoms we have  because of those in the past, who sacrificed for our Freedom, so that we can celebrate today our freedoms & Independence. Reminded that there are pax in our region , who if they were back in their own home country, they could possibly be jailed or persecuted for being able to do what we are doing every morning or being on the beach in a circle of 30+ men, praying.

Special Big “Thanks” to Capt. Ron for playing a large role in putting today’s convergence together. Lancelot’s workout was created by  Capt Ron, however he was unable to post, so I took over for him. Great job Capt.

A grateful thanks to the leaders and HIM from 3 years ago that started this great Region. We wouldn’t be a Strong pax of HIM without you all and so thankful you are all still here to inspire and motivate us all to continue your success, as we move forward.

Praises and Prayer, lead by Drake:

The Pax that were unable to attend, due to their own challenges, Passport, Lori & Sara, Lukas, F3 Crossroads, Rambo & Chaps
*** All Military, Law Enforcement, First responders, Medical Specialist, farmers, and especially
OUR NATION. God Bless America

We created a scene on the beach, but it was because of what we were doing. The image of  a large group of men praying in the water under the (2) Large American Flags & (2) F3 Flags, made an impact on those out there. As Always, F3 showing how Strong we are and how, as ONE, we can make a difference!   God Bless you all!

 Great Job Brothers. We hope you enjoyed the challenges and the uniqueness of the morning beatdown. We are proud of you and inspired by the passion you showed this morning. Blessed and Thankful   – Chillipepper, Sir Wallace, Capt. Ron, & Lancelot
