Introduction
Woke up to temps in the low 50’s and some light rain. Perfect, a little bit of rain to cool us off during the run portion. Set everything up and was ready to roll about 5:00 am. I’m getting pretty used to the virtual routine.

C-o-T:
I passed a sign on the way home from work yesterday that said “you can’t quarantine hope.” That’s the mindset that I’ve been trying to follow.
Bad news and negativity is all around us.
Facebook, tv news media, Twitter, etc. Even in the most difficult times, we cannot let these things bring us down.
There is a greater hope that we should turn too. Hope that can’t be quarantined. From Isaiah 40:31, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Block out the bad energy (all the negativity around us), harness the good (the Lord). Yes, an Adam Sandler movie quote and the Bible referenced in the same message.

N-M-M:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for this beautiful morning that you have blessed us with. Thank you for the rain that you doused us with; it really helped cool us off.
We ask for BR’s neighbor, Al, who is dealing with PTSD. We also pray for his wife Sharon. Please bring him and his family some peace and comfort.
We also pray for the front line workers who are battling COVID-19, Please keep them healthy and give them the ability to help others.
The hope that you provide is a true hope that cannot be contained.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
