Closing Devotion- Matthew 13:58says “[Jesus] did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith” (NIV)  Are you seeing with eyes of fear, or are you seeing with eyes of faith?  Faith opens the door to miracles.

Naked Moleskin:

Gumby is the most intimidating workout to Q in F3 in my humble opinion.  The prep work includes planning the workout (of course), a good devotion or something to reflect on, and then the music to set the mood for stretching and yoga.  YHC has a tough time with this one as the Site Q’s know.  But, have faith, and get er done!

A great group this am, that worked hard on working out the kinks of a Christmas slumber.  YHC felt pretty good after that one.  YHC hopes the rest of the guys did as well.
