I will continue to pray for you and your family.

Thanks Tim, means a lot to me. It's a scary to be apart because you leave yourself vulnerable to Satan's attacks, something I've been trying to pray diligently about, hoping that he doesn't harden my heart through this.

Good workout overall, my strength is there on pulling exercises, tomorrow I'll see how I'm doing in the pushing department. Tomorrow I will be 4 months post op which means all my restrictions are lifted so we'll see if we can't get this ball rolling in the right direction.

Thanks, today was really a struggle it being my first weekend apart from them. I easily find myself entertaining evil thoughts, which is nothing more than a horrible coping mechanism. This will truly be a test, that I pray I'm able to pass.

Was able to make it up to 100 lbs on bench today with no problems, I was also able to hang from my arm with no pain which is a good thing. As far as my ROM goes I can get the squat bar where it needs to be, but no comfortably yet, I'd say one more week of consistent stretching I should be where I need to be.

Good day, my church took place at an event's center over 1000 people attended, took communion and watch around 50 get baptized. Most importantly one of my friend that I had lost touch with gave his redemption story, really happy that he was able to come to Christ.

Workout went well, no complaints the strength is slowly coming back on my push exercises, and today I'm feeling DOMS in my chest for the first time since Sept which is a beautiful thing.
