Follow me – I was reminded of the significance of these words a few weeks ago. These were the exact words that Jesus spoke to Simon and Andrew at the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 4:18-19). It reminded me of their faith, strength and trust as they set off to follow Jesus. It’s been a great reminder for me each morning as we run off into the gloom. Also, find an FNG and be a fisher of men.

No man left behind – at Lourdes on Tuesday, we were in the midst of finishing up Burpee 100s with partner (thanks Blue Crush). One group was behind and Box Jump called for all PAX to join the two as they finish their last 10. All PAX pounded out 10 more. GREAT leadership, Box Jump! Its cold, its wet and this is tough stuff. Some are fast, some are slow. Regardless, we need each other. We need the encouragement. We can’t do it alone. No man left behind.

Honor and a privilege to lead.

Done and done.
