RECOVER. PULL-UP. ADAPT AND ADVANCE WITH GRACE!

In life things happen and you pull yourself up, adapt and do you best to advance. Iron Butt tells story of getting call from his now deceased father (SGT Major, Retired) stating don’t believe what you read in the newspaper this morning. Iron Butt opened newspaper that day to see headline: “Gilliland Indicted.” Three months later Iron Butt as a strapping 22-year old accompanied father to court for sentencing after father was convicted of extortion for threatening the life of his business partner and killing his dog. The judge went through my father’s resume. Fought in three foreign wars (WWII, Korea, Vietnam), received meritorious service medal and was a man who served his country well but had a hard time adapting to civilian life.

After the Judge read my father’s service record and asked my father what we all knew from the earlier court case. Mr. Gilliland I find it hard to believe you committed this crime based on your service record. My father said. Yes sir. Then the judge asked who the young man was sitting next to him. “That’s my son, sir.”

The judge asked the 22-year old version of Iron Butt. “So, what do you think I should do with your father? To this day, all I remember saying was: “My father committed a crime. It is ironic that he fought and served the country that will now punish him and put him behind bars.” Judge Thornburg said to my father: “If you can raise a son that will come and sit next to his father, and say these words he has said, I think it would be a shame to incarcerate you.” My father was put on three years probation and had to relinquish any firearms in his possession.

That’s what I call grace. We all have done things we may not be proud of but the God I serve offers the same grace and love this Judge showed my father those many days ago. 

Men. Show grace in your workplace. In your homes. With your friends. There is therefore no condemnation in Christ. But when life comes at you and you may make inappropriate or wrong choices, RECOVER! PULL yourself UP. ADAPT to the forces in play. And ADVANCE in this great adventure of your lives with grace and mercy.

Geek Squad prayed us out

Did you hear that? “17-FNG” Three times! @Couch Potato delivered the goods. Train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. F3 legacy!

Major props and shout out to @Prosciutto. He keeps us on the straight and narrow. Discipline, structure and order are essential and necessary in any group of men. And how about those pull-ups he put down with perfect form. Thank you for setting the standard Pro and keeping us in between the guard rails on this dang Backblast!

Also, @SKID was leaving after our beatdown to report for duty in the U.S. Airforce.
