COT: YHC shared recent setback with middle child and emphasized the importance of prayer as a daily practice in his life. Prayer and gratitude helps YHC get through each day, good or bad. Many PAX carry their own burdens. In YHC’s view, praying for removal of a burden is ok. That being said, YHC is working on praying not for a lighter load, but for a stronger back. YHC thanked the PAX for being there for him and for one another, for showing up in the gloom at 0530, and for helping each other strengthen our physical, spiritual, and emotional “backs.” YHC encouraged the PAX to reach out for help. Thank you, men.
