Introduction

Due to extended curfew in Aurora the PAX were not able to experience the sunrise over Holy Hill but 15 HIMs stayed committed & showed up at 6:15 for a COVID-19 inspired beat down. As the PAX rolled in it was great to see some faces that i have not seen in a while, especially Onions & his bug net mask! The group socially distanced for a warm-a-rama that go going quickly with suicide burpees. From there the men split into two groups with Dilly taking the parking lot & Tonka stepping up to co-Q & taking a group to the hill.  After 15 minutes of pushing themselves the HIMs switched locations. After the second rotation the HIMs met back up for my personal favorite MARY to close things up with a little “Sally Up…..Sally Down” from Moby.

CoT:

Never take a day for granted men.  25 years ago this June, when I was 17 years old, I lost my Dad to a sudden & unexpected illness.  After a few months of making bad decisions & coping with the loss I woke up & realized life is to short & you should cherish every breath you have on this earth.  This never rings more true than now.  Instead of looking at all the negatives of the current situation like COVID, riots, racism, now is the time to take a look at what can be positive.  What about re-connecting with your M on a deeper level or taking the time to be deeply engaged with  what your 2.0’s are doing showing them what true leadership is all about or putting out a helping hand to those in our community that are in need.  I like many of you get frustrated during these times & in those times of frustration I always reflect back & think how much I would give to be locked up in a house with my Dad & it reminds me never take a day for granted.  Aye!

CARPE DIEM!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Lord for this opportunity to experience your greatness this morning & to be with these high impact men to get better & accelerate.  We know now more than ever you are calling us to be those leaders you need us to be in times of struggle. Give us the strength & courage to lead as you would want us to lead.  Watch over those that are not as fortunate & are struggling in these times that are in our spoken prayers or in our hearts.  In your name we pray.  Amen!
