As 50 quickly approaches, YHC has made an intentional effort to #accelerate into “respect.” Being on the Q sheet helps since it involves a higher sense of accountability. Who would want to sign up to Q and completely drop the ball? Or serve up some weak cheese that leaves everyone wanting? You’d never hear the end of it from the pax. Not wanting to disappoint the Detainees this morning, YHC made it on time, commenced the beatdown, gave the pax their money’s worth and all of us #gotbetter today. It was an honor to lead these fine men.

Devo
As #respect soon approaches, there has been much introspection regarding a life led so far. Focus has turned to #acceleration and making the most out of the blessings bestowed on me and my family. Daily readings from great men throughout history have become a staple. This was an excerpt from the book Manvotionals: Timeless Wisdom & Advise On Living The 7 Manly Virtues
Oath of the Knights of the Round Table
Then all the knights arose, and each knight held up before him the cross of the hilt of his sword, and each knight spake word for word as King Arthur spake. And this was the covenant of their Knighthood of the Round Table: That they would be gentle unto the weak; that they would be courageous unto the strong; that they would be terrible unto the wicked and evil-doer; that they would defend the helpless who should call upon them for aid; that all women should be held unto them sacred; that they would stand unto the defence of one another whensoever such defence should be required; that they would be merciful unto all men; that they would be gentle of deed, true in friendship, and faithful in love. This was their covenant, and unto it each knight sware upon the cross of his sword, and witness thereof did kiss the hilt thereof.
