White Shoe took home a parting gift from today’s installment of Ambassador. One-inch wide, quarter-inch deep gash in the heel of his hand. #invisiblegloves That was just halfway in. He left some blood.

Do not relent. Dig deep. Fight hard. Feel the threshold, and then go past it. Expect more and expect worse. Herein lies the approach we men of F3 take.

A few minutes before 0700, the PAX of Ambassador gathered well beyond the beltline in a neighborhood we aim to reach with the same relentless approach, though humble in the offering. Sixty minutes on a Saturday. We dug in and fought hard. And left some skin and blood.

YHC reminded each of us that Ps 103 says the Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in love; he doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve. Each of us has done things we didn’t want to do yesterday. So we confess them, we thank the Lord he doesn’t hold them against us, and we move ahead in his love.

Deliverance prayed for us. Then off to the golden arches. #classycoffeeteria

Nice work, brothers.
