Cold weather means you better bundle up buttercup and get out of the fartsack to post with your brothers. YHC has been pumped to get the first Regional shirts for JOCO and then be able to speak to a group of Men at Crossroads on Thursday night and see the amazing power of getting 80+ guys together to grow and push each other spiritually. Hoping to see some new faces as many SC (soft commits) were tossed around from the Crossroads crew. YHC was hit hard when the story came out about the RPD cop getting shot only being out from the Academy a year it made me think about my brother in law who serves with the RPD and puts his life on the line every shift he goes to work. It makes my job as a PT seem safe, and much simpler than having to deal with split second decisions of life and death. So today we honor our neighbors to the north and the men and women who have chosen to protect us and serve with their lives on the line each time. We pray and push ourselves like C.D. Ainsworth will be pushing to recover.

Moleskin: It was cold today but one thing that kept pushing me throughout was memories of local emergency personnel that no matter what the weather, situation, or risk continue to protect and serve their community. In Benson, JOCO, Raleigh and all surrounding areas. YHC is very thankful for those that risk their lives so that my family and I can feel a little safer each night. When I go to work I slip on my comfortable tennis shoes, work polo and maybe a light jacket for the drive in but never do I have to snap on a gun belt or a bulletproof vest or require training for split second decisions. For that I am humbled, grateful, and so very thankful for those around me who answer the call. We want you all to know we pray for you and we think of you all during this time.
See you in the gloom men!
