Every month the men of Seismic gather to run the Hero, the AO’s monthly endurance test, in honor of a hero to one of the PAX. This month, we choose to honor Kyle Carpenter. On November 21, 2010, U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Kyle Carpenter was posted atop a building in violent Helmand Province, Afghanistan, when an enemy grenade skittered toward Kyle and a fellow Marine. Without hesitation, Kyle jumped on the grenade and somehow lived, while severely injured, to tell about it. On June 19, 2014, Kyle was awarded the nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his “singular act of courage” on that rooftop in Afghanistan. Kyle became the youngest living recipient of the award.

Devo:  Referencing the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead, YHC shared with the PAX that we are all entombed in our sin and shame. Jesus calls us forward into the light. We can’t save ourselves, it is only by His power and His grace. Let’s not stay in our sinful shape, humbly allow Him to rescue us.

Moleskin:  The path to Huger Park and back is a memorable one for YHC. I took a group of PAX on that path on my first Q a little over four years ago. After a long layoff, this seemed like a good route on which to lead the PAX today. The PAX worked hard, college football mumble chatter was present, and everyone left better for being out this morning. Thanks for the opportunity to lead!

Moleskin:

With Covid-19 upon us we did our best with social distancing, no sharing coupons, and nodoing partner work. This was a variation from another wienke I had for St. Patrick’s Day, that allows everyone to go at their own pace and choose their own destiny.. It started as a Chadwick Boseman themed work out, but that was tricky, so we broadened it to the Avengers. Glad to see good numbers at my favorite BC AO. Welcome, FNG Baby Fat.

Devo: YHC is reading through the book of Esther this week. Esther was an exiled Jew who was chosen to be the new queen of the King of Persia. When a plan is put in place by the king’s most trusted advisor to annihilate every Jew in the kingdom, Esther is used by God to bring the deceptiveness of this plan to light. Ultimately, the plan fails and the king’s advisor, Haman, pays for his efforts with his life.

Esther was exiled from her home. Forced to live in a foreign land. Yet God used her terrible circumstances to save her people. YHC encouraged the PAX to remember that no matter how bad a circumstance may seem, God can work in it. Perhaps He has placed you there for a time such as this and intends to use you for His good and glory.

Moleskin: The PAX brought it today and made it through a variety of PT like pros. Goose is back, which is awesome. M&M appeared out of thin air, and KY paid a visit to his old stomping grounds!

Devo:  Jeremiah 29:11. YHC shared some personal testimony about a “wilderness” time in which I’m currently traveling. The road ahead and completely blurry. God is teaching me to trust in Him and take it once step at a time, recognizing that He has a purpose and a plan. He is sovereign.

Moleskin: After two months of feasting, YHC believed the PAX needed the cardio and core focus to bring in the new year. The PAX was willing and up for the challenge. The support shown for YHC after the devo and testimony was also much appreciated.
