“17” was the theme of the day. Not merely because YHC is the closest PAX to “17”…  YHC has been pondering 2 verses over the last few weeks (Proverbs 17:17 – “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” ; Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”).  In thinking through the past 3 months since first posting at the Rock for the first workout of 2021, YHC has been privileged to brush shoulders with fellow PAX, being encouraged by the lives they lead and by the brotherhood that has been built in the gloom. So, as a gentle “thanks” for letting me be a part of it, and with the theme of community and “17”, here’s what ensued.
