It was wet and Friday and the PAX was tired, but like a trusted dog and companion, 5 showed up at The Hive. YHC arrived a little early for some pre-beat down prep and was glad the rain held off. As the PAX got out of their cars and dropped the bells, the sky opened up. Some mumble chatter about getting coffee and staying dry and on and on…..but YHC didn’t let the moaning distract me from the mission at hand. To invigorate male leadership through small workouts to better our families and communities. So with that….we mosey!

Talked on Generosity and not just giving of our money but of our time and talents too. Referred to the “First DIg” in the peanut butter jar, or first scoop of ice cream or first slice of pizza or the first taste of fresh beer just opened. The first of all of these are the best!! Nothing like it. The opposite is the bottom of the peanut butter….digging and scrapping and the mayo jar too and the last chip or slice of pizza just ain’t the same. We can all agree on that the first is not the same as the last! Then why when we think about being generous do we give after everything else? Why does God get the bottom of the jar or last slice of our pie…..if at all. Again, this is money, time and talents and we should give our first and best all the time. It is the sweetest and deserving of the one who gave it all for us! Aye!!

Thanks for the Q Longshanks! Humbled and Honored as always.
