As I arrived about 5 minutes before the workout began, planted the flag, there was already a big group waiting at the pavilion! Always excited to see men getting after it so early in the morning.

COT :
Prayers for marriages and trips out of the country. YHC paraphrased George Washington’s quote “it is better to be alone than to be in bad company.”
Fortunately for me, I got the chance to be in the company of some fine High Impact Men this morning! It is always an honor and privilege to Q! Thanks for putting up with me! :muscle:
