YHC had a leftover idea from Thursday’s Fury Q that was going to be a crowdpleaser and it didn’t disappoint. As we were circling up in the parking lot waiting for Pothhole to show up, because he was a hard HC last night, Cruiser rolled in and was a welcome sight. EM had his doubts that Pothole was going to show but YHC was fully confident that he would and alas at 5:14, in he came. By the time he popped out of his car, 5:15 was here. The disclaimer was given with a reminder from SB about “No Whining” and off we went.

NMS
-The merkin bearcrawl indian run was everything that YHC had expected and more. The “No Whining” rule was challenged during it but all of the PAX pushed through and got a huge number of merkins during it. This is something that will definitely be making a return at an AO in the future. If you missed it, don’t worry, you’ll get a chance to experience it.
-The mumblechatter was relatively low today. Not sure if that was due to the weather or the hard work that the PAX were putting in or some of both. But the effort level was great today.
-Great to see Pothole back in the gloom after a week hiatus. And the return of Cruiser was welcomed as well.
-YHC shared 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” YHC shared the importance of taking our thoughts captive as it is so easy to allow negative thoughts take us down a rabbit hole of negativity and it influences how we treat others. The trick is that when we start to think negatively, we take those thoughts captive and think of Him.
Until next time,
