Well, the word of the day was set to be Merlot. YHC even arrived pretty early to set up an assortment of cones and cinder blocks. Unfortunately, no merlot was had, but a good effort to reach that point was put up by the PAX. Proud of these men and how they just keep pushing further!

NAKED MOLESKIN

This was a lot of fun. This past Sunday YHC came across a verse at Church that really stuck with me and I wanted to share it…

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior” Isaiah 43: 1-3

I thought that this was a perfect verse in preparation for this weekend’s obstacle course and others to come.
