Introduction
Woke up on time got to the site early and decided to read a little. Finished my Q-Source reading, took some notes and dove into some things on Spiritual Gifts as I continue to be amazed and the parallel track running through Q-Source and the Rooted Book study. It turns out I don’t know what my Mission is or what my Spiritual Gifts are.

Yesterday morning someone said something very profound to me and I planned to craft my entire message around that one nugget. I remember distinctly having that thought as I was walking to the car after coffeteria. I did not have my notebook with me but it did not matter I would totally remember the thought.
Well I didn’t, by the time I sat down to write it out last night I had totally forgotten what the thought was. So I don’t have anything prepared. I guess the lesson is don’t forget to send yourself the voice note, text or whatever you do to remind yourself…. Maybe more importantly don’t let life get in the way of living. Take the time to play with your kids, go on a date with your wife, do all that stuff you say you are going to get to later. Having a 13 and a 15 year old I am already starting to feel like I have missed too many opportunities, too many moments that I may not get back. So I am doing whatever I can to cherish the moments, be present in the now and enjoy living this life.
Dear Heavenly Father
Thank You for this day;
Thank You for these men,
Thank you for the freedom to choose the Daily Red Pill and those who help us to be better at this life
those who model, those who encourage and those who build up
Help us to take all that we have gained here In The Gloom and give it up for your glory.
Help us to use it to be better Fathers, Husbands, Friends and Neighbors.
In your Son’s Holy name we pray!
AMEN

Need more Rucks!!!
The group naturally split into three sub groups at different speeds. Doing laps worked well because we all stayed close and guys got to set their own pace without feeling left behind.
Lead groups got roughly 2.0 miles, tail group 1.6.
