Dripping Moleskin:
This workout left YHC panting with shaky arms and legs, so it must have been a good one. Minimal mumblechatter, so the Pax must have either not found it challenging enough or were too busy trying to breathe to talk back. Great work by all, and special T-Claps to Snuffy for his consistency and perseverance. It didn’t go unnoticed, and you inspire us.
Prayer requests:
- BB’s coworker came down with strep the other day, pray for quick recovery and continued health for BB
- Continue praying for Pastor Leon and his church in the Eastside neighborhood downtown following the break-in to their community center last week and financial struggles. For more info or if you feel led to give to support the ministry, visit their GoFundMe page.
YHC challenged the Pax about Q’s taking full ownership of the Circle of Trust part of their workouts and resisting the easy way out, delegating the task to another brother. Full post to follow.
