Full disclosure – I found this from an Italian Job post in Rock Hill Region (“The Rock”) and found it to be extremely… “Impactful”. I couldn’t have said it better myself, so I didn’t.
As #HIM, we influence many around us – our brothers, our co-workers, our communities.
The most important influence we can have is at home. Sometimes we forget how much impact our words and actions have on our families. Our children are watching and learning with every move we make. If we lose our temper, they see it. If we are glued to our phones, they notice. When we love our wives, they see it. When we make time for our families, they notice.
Our children are the future of this world. If you want to change the world, it starts at home. We have to make sure our impact is positive. We need to carve out time for our families. If we can do it for work, why can’t we do it for those that really matter? If you lost your job today, they’d replace you within the month. But you cannot be replaced at home.
I’ve said it before, our children spell love T-I-M-E. You see, the story that may seem trivial to us is really important to our children. We must make sure we pay attention to those little things, because to our kids, they are everything.
Here’s the challenge for all reading: Be the dads we need to be. Be the husbands we are called to be. Then watch as the future generations become better versions of us. We reap what we sow. If we sow encouragement, we get love. If we sow discord, anger ensues. If you want to change the world, start at home.

- Happy 39th Birthday to Early Bird! Proud of you my man!
- Everyone died, as expected and warned. Felt a lot like the Oregon Trail.
- It was YHC son’s (Wyatt aka “Raptor”) third post this week. Previously he didn’t want to be named – but today he had no choice. I couldn’t be more proud of my boy! It was an honor to talk about the importance of Impact, influence at home and having my son join us for F3. Full heart, Watery Eyes, Cant Lose.
- Again re: Raptor – he decided to log roll down the hill once and when he got up he fell over four times from dizziness. That would have been enough for YHC to splash alone
- Pine Breeze hill is nothing to scoff at – brought us to our knees. Most everyone died.
- Fissure died midway through the Thang; he recovered and went to the toilet. Last I heard, he’s still there at White Oak Park bathroom facility.
- The Count has a drone and is not afraid to use it!
