With a few regulars out recovering, 11 (nope, make that 12 with CandyStripe squealing in on 2 wheels) pax managed to unass the fartsack and post what was promised the night prior to be a challenge for all. YHC had a few new things mixed with some old in store for the pax.

Moleskin
- #Kotters to Fast Casual on his return to Turning Point – great to see you out there today brother!
- Great effort by all pax. It is amazing to watch these guys transform right in front of your eyes. Some serious #sadclown transformations are going down at TP! T-CLAPS!
- Based on the moans and groans, YHC has to guess that the Holding Pattern of Pain was a #crowdpleaser. 100 incline merkins may seem easy unless you are endlessly plank walking between sets.
- I am honored to call these men my brothers and humbled to have the opportunity to post with each of them in the gloom.

Devotion – My Shield
- “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.” -Psalm 18:2
- A rock provides firm footing and a solid foundation. When it’s easy to just give up and we face tough times, who or what do you turn to when you have a tough day? Seek shelter and put your feet on firm footing. Ask God to be the power that saves you. When times get tough where do you turn. Easy to turn to addictions and unhealthy habits for comfort, but only through the Lord and His word will we get understanding with that comfort. Choose wisely.
