There may have been more, but Q bailed at 6am to get home.  LED turns 14 today!!!  He continues to be a newer, better version of YHC.  

Reflection:  [God said]  “My strength comes nto its own in your weakness”.  

2 Corinthians 12:9

In the movies, heroes are always gifted with a side-arm  and mastered the art of self-sufficiency.  They pull themselves up by the bootstraps and are self-made men.  While they offer help to others, they never seem to need it themselves.

This portrayal leads way to the idea, “God helps those who help themselves”.  We sometimes fall into a line of thinking that we need to handle our own business and shouldn’t bother God with our problems.  Some, just write it off to bad luck, and decide to wait it out for more fair weather.

Neither option includes asking God for help.  The truth is, we should never go it alone.  God wants to help us, and sometimes the closest we can get to Him is when we ask for help.  Why would you ever need a Savior, if you were capable of saving your self. 

Sometimes God gives you an answer, and sometimes he puts people in your life to give you the answer you need.  He can deliver a lot through the men of Denver’s F3.

I appreciate each and every one of you, more than you know. 

Mole Skin:

• Wishing Dandelion a speedy recovery, don’t worry, the jump rope will be there when your ready.
• Shirley impresses with tales of a 30 mile trek and near hyperthermia.  May need to consider renaming him Shackleton.  (AKA Ernest Shackleton.  If you haven’t read the book “Endurance” stop what you’re doing right now and come back when you’re finished. It’s that good.)
• Crabby Paddy getting it done on 1.5 knees.  An inspiration of how to not make excuses.  Well done.
• Between F3 and Jit-Jitsu, it’s YHC’s 3rd workout of the week with Strudel.  Thank you man for the encouragement. Without you, I would not have posted this week, and would not have improved.

Respectfully Submitted,
