COT:
Turned a Route 66 with Get Ups for the Grand Kids™ into a Route 55, 1) because I was not man enough to do eleven more, and 2) because we needed to get to the main event which was a Double Wide Sprint Session, AKA the Italian Tune-Up. It works wonders.
Little trip up Everest to find the first and second of approximately 23 fences we had to get over. Snitch (Cory Beilharz ) speculates that they are cash extraction devices for Big Jim & friends, and he may be right.
There was some bear crawling and some Crab Walking, followed by some picking sharp little rocks out of palms. Cat Gut (Mike Davis) might still be up there had we not retrieved him. Unmatched devotion to the game.
Last sprint in the parking lot and met up with the ruckers. Story that meant a lot to me on Saturday, about God’s attention and love for us. Prayers for the bereaved and for a friend carrying an enormous burden.
Now put those dewy shoes outside to dry.

Psalm 119:105 (CSB) — Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path
– MSG version: by tie wires I can see where I’m going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path.
The lamp illuminates the next step, the not the whole journey.
THE THANG:
Jester – the temptation of the flesh that hinders acceleration.
Every man has his own personal gesture
A thorn in his flesh
The jester is a master liar.
The five stages of a lie…
1. You are the boss of me
2. You are what you do
3. You are (relatively) not a bad guy
4. The jester & virtue can coexist
5. “You can’t live, if living is without me”
Preparedness keeps the gesture at bay
(DRP, Guard Rails, Bricks, Shield Lock)
Pride is the king of all jesters.
If the gesture is quiet, it’s only because he’s waiting from a more opportune moment.

THE THANG: Had another great discussion. This weeks topic was the jester. Many good points were made and great conversations were had by all. Just remember there is always opportunity resist temptation and to change your lifestyle. Thanks to all for letting me lead my first Q with this group.
