F3 Greenwood

Conditions – Clear skies, VERY humid, and temps around 78 degrees. A crowd of 22 Pax were on hand for YHC’s solo VQ.  It wasn’t raining so obviously YHC was extremely happy, and while hoping that the sand had further sank into the ground, off we went.  We headed to the field and the Pax were instructed to circle up around the flag at the bottom of the steps.

Devotional:

The disciples were on the Sea of Galilee and a storm struck. The wind and waves began in the evening and continued all night long.

Jesus was away on a mountaintop praying.  The disciples were probably praying for the storm to stop.  Jesus didn’t answer those prayers. Instead, He met them out on the Sea, walking on the water. Why?

This age-old question has kept millions at an arms-length away from their Creator. Why does human suffering occur and why does God not stop it? When we are going through trials and tribulations, we can hang our hats on this truth: God has a divine purpose in the pain. Our job is to trust Him through it and wait to see the spiritual fruit that accompanies it in the future.

God has not promised us an easy life. Far from it! He has promised His children that he will be with us through those trials. Jesus meets us in the middle of the storm to build our faith and to teach us to worship Him in truth and spirit.

I’m not sure what’s going on with everything happening in the world today, but if we trust in God, we can trust He will be with us and pull us through whatever the situation.

Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

NMM:

  • This was YHC’s solo VQ.  YHC was a little nervous but all in all things went ok it seemed.  Only one mess-up on the cadence count to my knowledge.  The Pax got a good laugh at that.
  • T-claps several Pax from other AO’s who visited the Ship for YHC’s VQ.  Hopefully you enjoyed your visit.
  • Welcome FNG Lemon (Rob Schuss).  Hopefully his name is spelled correctly.  Baby Blu put on the EH for this one, and also gave YHC the ‘correct spelling’ of the name.
  • And welcome back Baby Grand.  Even if there was pressure to attend this one, we expect you to keep posting.
  • It was great for Coffin to post at the Ship, and he sounded excited for YHC’s VQ.  He figured there would be no burpees knowing YHC’s hatred of them.  Luckily, YHC had a few burpees in store already, but just for Coffin a few more were added.
  • BTW, it’s still sandy at the Ship!

 

It was an honor to Q for such great men and it was a blast.  Already looking forward to the next Q.  Bean is out!
