Total of climbing the steps 20 times (36 steps x 20 reps = 720 steps in total = 37.9 floors of the WTC) & 210 Merkins. Some added a ruck for EC and others added burpees at the bottom of the stairs.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
• Bible Study at my house on Wednesday night – #ironsharpensiron • 9-11 Stairclimb – EC Rucks, pancake breakfast, link below – Prayers for a quick recovery for Robo from surgery next Monday.
COT
• Romans 5:3-4 “…we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
• So counterintuitively, suffering leads to hope. Knowing that is one reason why we should try to take glory in our suffering.
• Another reason is for the people around us. When other people see us take glory when we are suffering, when they see the suffering create endurance, and then character, and then hope, it encourages them. Whether that is our kids or our spouses or our coworkers, embracing the suck benefits not only ourselves, but it is an encouragement to all of those who see how we handle adversity and how we come out stronger for it.
