YHC has only visited Turning Point a few times and always wondered by the pax always confined themselves to an elementary school campus when there’s a whole world to see. I get the pax at Shawshank need to be confined because of what they represent and that Graveyard pax have the whole world at their disposal and need not go anywhere. But TP has to live a little and see what’s in their backyard!
Over the last few months YHC has taken his 2.0 to Midway every school morning and always had visions of grandeur for the ‘hill’. YHC has dreamed of inflicting pain on that hill for many months. Saturday that vision became a reality as 15 pax stormed the hill and gave their best effort in their first excursion off campus.
On this 28 degree and breezy morning, it got heated in a hurry.
YHC is also a believer in not wasting time, but jumping right into the fray. 15 pax did their best rendition of ‘Bring Sally Up’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41N6bKO-NVI , a Moby song called ‘Flower’.

DEVOTION: Be authentic for Christ
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” –
James 1:22
- Be authentic. We are each created in God’s image. But God gives us different paths and directions in life. Follow God’s calling for your life and live out an authentic life each day, all day. With your family, your coworkers and all those you come in contact with. Make Jesus your top priority and live it out authentically each day.
