YHC had a 3rd set of 70 x 7 planned out for the legs, but time did not allow that set to be completed. But since there was 5 minutes left YHC called 70 reps of the following, so we wouldn’t completly ignore the legs:

Devo:
Matthew 18:21-22
Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven”.
In this verse Peter is thinking he is being extra generous by forgiving someone seven times, because in those days they were taught to forgive someone 3 times and after that you were not required to forgive them. But by Jesus telling Peter to forgive them 70 x 7 He wasn’t giving Peter an exact number answer. He was saying we shouldn’t keep count of how many times we forgive someone. We should always forgive our brothers who sin against us.
Matthew 6:14-15
Jesus says ” For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses.”
YHC believes that this is the most important Bible Verse about forgiveness. When we carry unforgiveness in our heart we are the one that really loses. YHC believes in most cases the one we aren’t forgiven isn’t overly hurt by us not forgiving them, but YHC does believe we are hurt by it. We carry resentment which can weigh on us like carrying around 2 coupons all day, and this prevents us from truly being happy. We miss out on blessings from God and worst of all we miss out on his forgiveness. Also, as we saw, some exercises were easier to complete to 70 reps than others were. Forgiveness is the same much of the time. Some sins against us are easier to forgive than others. Some sins require God’s assistance in getting to a place where we can forgive them.
My challenge to you is to search deep down to see if there is someone you have yet to forgive and if so turn that over to God and ask for his help in allowing you to forgive that person. Don’t be the one who is losing.

NMS:
·Judge Judy arrived at the Shipyard, fresh off of a Judge’s conference, to right the Ship. It only took him a minute or so to inquire about the whereabouts of the Shipyard’s Shovel Flag. YHC gave the intial indication that he had, once again, dropped the ball and left it behind. YHC didn’t let JJ hang too long before he revealed that it was flying proudly in it’s rightful location at the AO.
·Boy George posted at the Shipyard fresh off his inaugural post to #REDFriday and jokingly said he hoped he wouldn’t hear any Bonnie Blair’s called out during the workout. The look on his face when YHC said that there was indeed Bonnie Blair’s to be done, was enough to make YHC regret having said that, and then thankfull time did not permit them.
·YHC snarked at Alpo during one of his Q’s for losing count on the 22 merkins for the Veterans and calling out 23 instead. Of course Karma reared her nasty self and YHC done the same thing this morning.
·Capri was the first to connect the dots on the 70 x 7 theme of today’s workout. At least he was the first to verbalize it.
·As usual at the Yard Mumble Chatter was rampant. YHC enjoys hearing the Mumble Chatter.
·Tclaps to Baby Blu and Sugar for being the pace setters for most of the time. When YHC was reminding the Pax of the “next” exercise, they were usually finishing it up.
·Bendict was confused by the starting time on Saturdays and showed up eager to work at 0615. This following Friday’s attempt to post at the yard when everyone else was at the fountain or RED Friday. Someone should write down a detailed list of our AO’s and schedules. Oh wait… YHC done thatba week ago.
As usual YHC is honored to lead this group of men and benefits from them much more than he is a benefit to them.
Until next Q
MM is out
