Great work men. Today was not easy, but everyone pushed through. Shoutouts to each man that came out today:

• Popeye – great job not giving up
• Geppetto – another day at the front of the pack
• Mayhem – caught up after a late start and pushed hard towards the front
• Tinker Toy – another day at the office for Rock Hill’s fittest
• Mailman – never complains, always delivers
• Posh – the Kenyan – another strong showing today
• Pusher – thanks for crossing the river to join us – your presence is always appreciated
• York – the guy just keeps getting better
• The Riddler – after 2 miles of extra credit, he kept it going for another 2.6 miles
• Schrute – if you’re not 100% yet, I’d hate to see you fully healthy (sneaky fast)

As a reminder, a life centered on Christ will not only help to free us from the uncertainty of our tomorrows and worries about success and achievements – what Solomon called “chasing after the wind.” It will redirect our focus toward what really matters. It will put finances, health, relationships, and our goals for the future in the right perspective. When we “chase after God” rather than chasing after the wind, we find that our relationship with Him rearranges our priorities.

Let’s remember to focus on what we have – to be thankful for the blessings in our lives.

Prayer Requests:

The Riddler’s bossman and his patience working with him.

Tinker Toy’s co-worker after his car accident.
