“The evening of your life is determined by the morning of it.” -G Laurie

62 men decided to get their morning off on the right step. By coming together as a PAX to get better physically and spiritually. The Fort has 5 Friday AOs and then add in the Ruck option we have 6 options for men to challenge themselves and take the Daily Red Pill (DLP). Here at the Slow Burn AO, these other AO’s came to fellowship:

  • SlowBurn (moderate)led by Riddler
  • Varsity (high intensity)led by Sasquatch
  • Hive(kettle bell) led by Tesh
  • Ruck led by Dark Helmet
  • Swamp (boot camp)led by Bones
  • Brothership (run) led by Repeat

Indian Run with a 10 merkin drop from the front. Once pax completed ten the next line leader would drop, give ten and catch back up to the line. Repeat all the way back to COT.

Finished up having pax holding a cup. We had three cups flipped over on the ground. I spoke to filling our cups daily from the Lord relying on his grace and mercy through his word. The three cups on the ground represent the brothers that need our support and the Lord for daily guidance. If we leave them turned over they will never come to see the true love of the Lord. So remember reach out to those pax that you have not seen in a while and see how they are doing. The Lord fills our cup daily so that we can be a blessing to those he puts in our lives.

Psalm 23:2

Aye

Riddler in for the Slow Burn

Awesome turn out and great morning with men that are getting better together. See divided we can only accomplish a little, but with a brother and someone to hold us accountable to our goals, we can accomplish so much more. Let’s continue to give it away brothers and get more men out of the Sad Clown syndrome and get better!!!
