A dozen SOJ lumberjacks gathered in the cool gloom of the Forge, their axes and appetites whetted for whatever glorious pain DTH had in store. Here’s what the Neighborhood Watch has reported to the authorities:

Mosey BTTF for COT:

- YHC took the PAX out in Prayer
NMS: Remarkably cool weather helped soften the insulting and painful nature of handling the DTH cabers, but a change is as good as a holiday, and the PAX crushed it. Last Call won the Most Grumbling Award. Understandable given the lightweight stature of his wood. Kimura won Most Improved PAX by hitting 3 AO’s in his very first week. TClaps! Bone Thugs won the 3rd F Award with some deep thoughts and words of encouragement during the COT. Also, incline burpees are waaaay nicer then regular ones. Keep posting gents! SYITG, DTH
Announcements (SEE SLACK!)
- School of Rock! Bootcamp for kids starting just after 8am when the R&R COT ends. Followed by watermelon and cake on the playground.
- Every Monday 0530 Coffee Prayer&Share at Starbucks off Robius/Huguenot

Prayer Requests:
- Thugs lost his Aunt recently, unexpectedly, as she hadn’t shared her cancer battle with anyone, and then died faster than expected. Thugs’ words of wisdom were in forms of poetry and scripture, but essentially YOUR LIFE MATTERS – so don’t lose the opportunities each day to connect with those around you.
- DTH is making it a dry month – encouraged PAX to join him for Dry August if they wanted/needed that kind of challenge or re-centering.
