When Tardy sent out an SOS to the PAX that he wasn’t going to be able to Q (life gets in the way sometimes), YHC offered to cover. That’s what we do for each other. Fresh off the BRR, YHC knew that his focus would be upper body. Here’s what went down:

-Remember, backblasts aren’t optional, and they play an important role. If you Q, write one. If you don’t think you’ll have time, arrange with someone to ensure one is written.
-YHC is thankful for all you guys – you all mean more to me than I know how to express in words. Thank you for each and every day you come out

Tardy’s upcoming baby
Devo:
YHC recently started a Bible study with an old neighbor, F3 “Ding” (he doesn’t post any more). The study just started, but it’s on Discipleship and is going to be fantastic. Anyways, we talked about how we need to find time to slow down, close out all the distractions, and pray. Just talk to God. When Ding said this, it really put it in perspective, “My daughter left for college this year. Every few days, she’ll call and you’d think some celebrity was on the phone. We get all giddy. This is how I (Ding) imagine God feels when we take the time to stop and talk to him. His child is calling home.” That hit YHC like a freight train. We all take the time to call our parents and check in, talk to another F3 brother, etc. But how often do we take the time to slow down and just say hey to God? If you’re like YHC, not enough. That’s my challenge to each of you – stop, close out the distractions, and talk to God. That’s what he wants.
Another thing that was mentioned was how Satan wants you to be busy. Too busy to talk to God. One of the other guys in the group said, “Yeah, BUSY stands for ‘Being Under Satan’s Yolk'” which stuck with me. Just thought that was neat.
Thanks for allowing me to lead, men.
