Circle of Trust
Nest is not a familiar face at least for me. I went somewhat of a different direction this morning by asking how we got his nickname. After he explained I asked the PAX to pick another HIM to ask. They choose Stucco and we learned the story behind his F3 name as well.
Today I shared a big revelation for me this year.
Give in private and I will reward you in public. -God
I was burned earlier this year when doing something for a local veteran and that day I made a decision that all our giving will be done in private. A defining moment you could say. I’ve witnessed God faithful in his promise. Give with out expectation. Give to someone who could never pay you back. Give without making it public. I realized that day that if I TRULY only care of what God thinks it will be easy to do, it has been. Like many things in life all it takes is a DECISION.
We prayed for Frank the Tanks sister’s father in law battling Covid, Poutines family and daughter Sophie (thanks for being vulnerable brother), Woodwinds M having foot surgery this Friday, and all those unspoken.
Final prayer
Naked Man Moleskin
Left knee still bothering me a bit. Rolled & stretched pretty good last night. Decent night of sleep. Consistently going to bed around 10pm which is a first for me. Opportunity clock went off at 4:15 although I did hit snooze until 4:30. Let’s GO!
Pulled in the lot at 5:01 with Roadtrip and Frank the Tank ready to ROCK & ROLL! A lot warmer morning than yesterday so that was pleasant. Excitement rushing, PAX pulling in the lot. I didn’t recognize Stucco or Nest so I introduced myself and welcomed them. I wanted to get in as much running as possible so we got going pretty quickly.
After our lap together it was off to the races. Frank the Tank took off (of course he did *rolling my eyes), Gloop right behind him, Woodwind and myself toe to toe. It’s always a race, the objective was to lap someone. Radio Flyer at the “running frog” and I couldn’t be more proud. The Wedding Planner getting it as usual. Sparky clocked in some mile-ledge. Sweeney on his quest for World Domination. Thumb Drive showing Stucco the ropes. Townie thanks my brother for having our six. Blow Dry and Road Trip locked in. Poutine came in hot yet found us after we had taken off, way to persevere. Nest surprised me towards the end as I was in the lead and he quickly passed me, thanks for pushing me brother. I don’t see you often but we’re clearly better with YOU. Over all great heart great energy great woo woo woo’s. I’d hate to hear of a noise complain yet dead souls walking around scares me more. As Frank the Tank would say,”Let’s get it Boyz”. I hope your HC was worth it!
Signing off…
See you @ the TOP!
