YHC had a conversation with Pythagoras in the not too distant past about how a good ol ab workout was needed. It ain’t needed anymore. The work’s been done. And we’re better for it. Just don’t cough or sneeze for a couple days. This is how it went down.

YHC discussed work and our call to be leaders there. And for our work to be our play.
Mark Twain quote:
Who was it who said, “Blessed is the man who has found his work”? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work–not somebody else’s work. The work that is really a man’s own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who has found some other man’s work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains? The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great.
As we’re called to be salt and light, YHC encouraged the PAX to be that at work. Societally we like to complain about work, “same old stuff, different day”, “can’t wait until Friday”, etc. YHC encouraged the PAX to fight against that. We are called to be joyful, and that includes in the work place.
Same announcements as in recent Qs.
