Devo:
YHC discussed suicide and how it has impacted us either personally or in the news; Most recently with the suicide of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. YHC explained how dealing with it professionally has its challenges and is aware that the subject of suicide is not something people, especially men, want to talk about. Bubblehead mentioned an adolescent who attempted suicide recently before the devo in the prayer request. YHC talked about the importance of having someone to talk to about the stuff we go through as men. WE never know what is going on with someone unless they tell us. YHC deals with suicide professionally on a daily basis and attempted to discuss with PAX about finding those within F3 to talk to about the challenges of life and giving our burdens to God, as we are instructed to do.
Moleskin:
Snowden sealed the deal with the City of Goose Creek in securing a new spot to stow our blocks. YHC bought a combo lock and had the PAX stow blocks neatly in the area. YHC is extremely elated about not having to move AO and is thankful Snowden was able to make this happen for the men of the Ditch.
