MOLESKIN

• Prayers for the people in Sri Lanka affected by the horrific act terrorism the day Christ was risen.  We still have a long way to go to make this world a better place, and each one of us has a leadership role to play when it comes to sharing good morals and values.
• Great to see @slappy and @buffalo bill back to Mettle.  The beatdowns are much better with you guys there.
• YHC is glad we got to break in the new sled!
• Shout out to @dropcloth and @illuminati for running to and from Mettle. Rumor is that Poutine’s Mettle beatdown are not hard enough to the need additional exercises.
• We still need 3 PAX for Time Lapse on May 17 and 18.  Please sign up or spread the word.
• Trail Life USA Meeting April 23rd for PAX and their boys ages 5 – 17. Trail Life USA is Christ-centered Scouting like program.  Meeting is at 7:00 pm at Prosperity Presbyterian Church – 5533 Prosperity Church Road – in the gym.
• I know the PAX love the feet locking partner Med Ball sit ups.  It gets us all closer together!  Don’t worry Bro, there is plenty or rubber!  LOL
• YHC’s partner (aka) imaginary friend was pretty quiet except for when he sounded the alarm every 90 sec.
• Thanks for the PAX to help with set up and take down.

As always, it was a pleasure leading this fine group this morning!  I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did!

Have a fantastic week!
