Daily devotion

See you all soon.

Happy Monday Men. Looking forward to week 2 tomorrow. We have an exciting topic for tomorrow's zoom. Don't miss out.

***Stole this from my friend and Pastor Aaron** **LIFT HEAVY. PRAY HARD. 💪🙏** Brother in Christ— Spending -30min training hard** isn’t selfish. It’s **stewardship**. You’re not just lifting to look good— You’re building **strength for your marriage**: more energy, endurance, confidence, and presence to serve your wife well. You’re not just training to look like a superhero— You’re becoming a **reliable father** your kids can depend on when life gets heavy. Because **strength isn’t vanity—it’s capacity.** • Capacity to work hard without burning out • Capacity to protect without posturing • Capacity to lead without resentment • Capacity to endure pressure without collapsing Your body is a **tool God uses to carry out purpose**. Neglecting it doesn’t make you holy—it makes you **less available**. So train. Lift. Recover. Eat well. Sleep. Not for ego. Not for applause. But to **show up fully** for the people God entrusted to you. **Strong men don’t train to be seen.** They train so they **don’t fail** the ones counting on them.

It was only a short leap of faith being here, but this week, it was the source of one little push to meet most of the goals of my day and to better align myself with the best version of myself -- if only ever so slightly. However significant, it's a positive feeling. Thank you Coach Barry for inviting me :) Attached: the quote from Andromache to Hector's body which I referred to on the call. It's another beautiful retelling of the story we all know and love...light reading for fun: 17 short chapters from the perspectives of 21 characters; even the River has its own chapter!
