Devo: Having choices is better than having no choices, even if the options you’re choosing from aren’t always good.

YHC was back in town for a couple days so decided to grab the empty Q spot. The PAX at Bedrock never disappoint. There was ample mumble chatter, and lots of work.

Announcements: Fault Line will host this week’s rotating Saturday workout.  Repo announced a 420 mile Swamp Fox run; Ruck for Hunger on Nov 21. Christmas and Anniversary parties are being planned

Devo: Be ready…be prepared.  You never know when you’ll have to fill in.

Moleskin: This workout was inspired by my 5-year old son, who insists that the number 4 in Spanish is pronounced Squatro.  So I decided to use that to come out with a workout where we’d do 4 squats after pretty much any activity during the BC.  Overall, I think it went pretty well.

Maybe she was searching for a contact lens

Devo:

Eternal Justice

“But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. (NLT) ( Malachi 4:2 )

 

There are some injustices in this world that won’t be remedied in our lifetimes.  Some hurts won’t come fully undone, while we are in the land of the living. This may feel hopeless but thankfully not all hope is lost! God has an eternal plan that heals every broken heart and provides godly justice for all.  Trust that His eternal plan means healing for all who call Him their God

Moleskin:   Quotes of the day:  Old Flame: It s0455 what are doing here so early Sakrete?

Old Flame:  I can tell you right now.  I am not murdering any more bunnies.

Old Flame:  My Garmin says its 0545. Why are you still working?

Splinter:  Maybe his watch is off that’s why he’s always late.

Defib took his shirt off during BOM.  Old Flame said “Damn Defib you look GOOD man.  Like really good”

Sugar Mountain:  Yea Defib was my partner.  When you work out with me see what you look like.

Easy In: Next time we partner up I’m picking Sugar Mountain if it means I can look like Defib.

Old Flame during prayer requests/ praise reports:  Praise that Defib looks like that

Fish N Chips said something awesome about sperm and Spider Man but I can’t remember it.  Maybe he can help.
