Hope it was worth it

6:35 Ralph Lauren texted YHC to confirm some guests had arrived at #powderhorn

6:35:30  YHC got out of bed and was en route

As I arrived to see the shovel flags flying and a good swarm of black shirts, greetings were being exchanged with the PAX from Ballantyne and Gastonia..  There was some extra excitement in the air as the SOB’s had driven close to an hour to realize they were one man short of being able to return with the ghost flag.  Great showing from both groups today and the Ballantyne guys had a much better attitude about not grabbing the flag than I would have had.   Great group of leaders obviously from both Gastonia and Ballantyne.  We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, we need to do more joint efforts with the Gashouse boys.

GHOST FLAG PRESENTATION TO GASHOUSE

I’ve been to a number of AO’s now.  Gotten to know some great guys.  Hardly ever see EVERYONE work as hard as this group did.  Sure some were faster than others, but no one slacked off.  Great effort, good mumblechatter, and as Cheddar said, the #F3spirit was alive and well.

The PAX were reminded that we talk alot about accountability to each other and helping each other out.  We are not to forget that even when surrounded by HIM it’s not impossible to slack off or fall back or stray from the right path.  For example the goal of the pullups on the wall is to be able to do more unassisted pullups on the bar.  This is only effective if a man strains his upper body and only assists with legs with absolutely necessary. However to the bystander, it can’t really be determined if the man doing the pullups is using his legs for assistance a little or a lot.  Likewise even when we talk the talk and even put time in with the men whom we call ourselves accountable to, it is often too easy to fake it, to not do our best, or to give in to that treacherous temptation and no one may know the difference.  No one but you, and the Sky Q.  So don’t forget our strongest accountability partner is through an intimate relationship with God.  Whatever it takes to keep that relationship strong, whatever it takes, will be worth it.
