NMM
We lift heavy so that we can carry heavy things – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Men who prioritize training are resilient and reliable, and as such, everybody wants what they have. But you have to learn to say “no” to some things. If you pour out everything you have, you will have nothing left to your family or for yourself.

Also, know that you have a brotherhood to help you shoulder the weight. You’re either going through it, just went through it, or will go through it. When you get overwhelmed, ask for help. You are needed, desired, and loved. Don’t let temporary problems cause you to succumb to a permanent solution. Talk, listen, share, and care. We need you. Your family needs you. And your community needs you.

Aye!

Ruck Club

We had 6 ruck club members and 5 runners which is a new ruck club historical marker. Thank you to all who made this accomplishment happen. Grateful to your dedication.

Very specific running route instructions were given and none of the 5 runners ran the route. But… fellowship. That happened. So we are good.

Prayers for Karin Ms Double D, those traveling, and dealing with our kids.
