BOM
This morning was all about our Battle Buddy.  We can do more together than we ever can alone.  The simple truth is we are stronger and can go harder longer when we realize it’s not about us, but about the man next to us.  Solomon said “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”  (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).  In the gloom our “threefold cord” is made up of the men next to us and the greater story we are a part of.  For HIMs it’s not about us…it’s about being a life-giver to those around us.

Strength and Honor,
Cap’n Crunch
