Prayers: Bowen family for recent passing of snake eyes friend & healing for scooter’s friend Tim.

 

Moleskin: wonderful crisp morning with 18 men always willing to try something new with as long as it’s surrounded with the familiar and doesn’t involve any discharge.  Not every workout has to start with SSH but looky looky the not so newb learned to count IC from all the sideline watching. Well profanity… YHC knew the crawl bear would be hated and mostly modified with midwife noises. It was a Christmas gift from the pax at Carpex while YHC went to Raleigh a few weeks back. “But shoot your shot,” said Mayweather.  Any consolation, they mostly modified as well with only YHC and an FNG up to the task.

 

Pleasure to lead this morning. Amazing to be surrounded with men that can make each one a little better with a beatdown and coffee. Getting what you need when you need it and the guy surely having no idea what you need in that moment, but deliverers. No smoke and mirrors here but we’re certainly all tied together with Master creator weaving what we need in our lives. Happens too frequent to be luck.  It don’t have to be religious. Take a few minutes every now and then to pull back and think about how we’re even still here.  While you’re here, this community needs men willing to step up, guide their Mrs and 2.0s with a moral code when it may not be so normal.  Masculinity is a gift, use it.
