There’s a 4-letter word that has dashed more dreams and held back more potential than any other. “Just.”
“You’re just not my type.”
“You’re just not smart enough for this class. Just quit now and save yourself the embarrassment.”
“You’re just not tall enough. You’re just not fast enough.”
“You’re just not college material.”
They said Jesus was just a carpenter from a nowhere town. They said his followers were just fishermen and outcasts. Just is a way people try to hold you back. Don’t let others tell you what you can’t do or who you can’t be. Just do it.

Thank you for the opportunity to Q, Bodywash. I was pleasantly surprised with the turnout and pretty decent weather. We had some great conversation, a few laughs, and learned that Head Spin is a flexible dude. YHC and Ruby Slippers kept our head’s down out of fear of falling face first onto the pavement, unlike Bodywash how has great balance. Grout continues to crush it, Esso continues to make it look easy, and Tapout continues to have more energy than all others combined.

While standing in the COT today, the wind began to pick up. I couldn’t help but think of God’s presence in that moment. Often in the Old Testament, the Spirit of God is described as “wind” or “breath” (the Hebrew word Ruach). God’s Ruach is the source of life. My prayer for you today is that you will feel His Spirit and will be moved to act accordingly. Stay safe as Ian takes aim on the Carolinas. Focus on your faith and family and find time to enjoy the Ruach as it manifests in your life.

Aye!
