A personal note (which I inarticulately semi-fumbled through during our CoT, but hope is more articulate here)…
I (Biscuit) got engaged on Saturday. It’s more and more common to see men and women waiting until older to marry. This has its merits and also its drawbacks. Granted, getting married early could have its own set of merits and drawbacks. But I can say that as a single guy going through the past 3 years (Covid, etc.), you walk through it differently than those married around you. God made us for community. For fellowship. And so I would be remiss to not take a moment, as I shift from singleness toward marriage, to call out the family I have in F3. To say thank you to my F3 brothers and the camaraderie felt over the past few years when it would’ve been easy to be in isolation.
That said, I’m well aware that marriage doesn’t remove all feelings of loneliness or isolation. A single guy and a married guy are both prone to the sad clown syndrome. The feeling of isolation and loneliness. Those feelings aren’t reserved for only those physically alone, but for those who feel isolated even in a room full of people. There’s a longing for connection that may not be there.
So as a reminder, be on the lookout for men around you who may be in a heightened state of need for that community, encouragement, and fellowship. Take time to make a conversation happen. And maybe, just maybe, give them a bit of an EH into joining this brotherhood we call F3. After all, as Truett Cathy is quoted as saying, “How can you tell if someone needs encouragement? If they’re breathing.” God bless you guys.

Dow requested Marry Me by Train as a song for this BD. We cranked it up and it really got the people going.
