“Heavy” Day at ShamRUCK

AO: shamruck
Q: Mermaid
PAX: Utah, Dumpster Dive, The Situation, Eliza, Jardet, Lizzy, Mermaid, Ribbed
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
We rucked the catholic loop, and stopped where we parked to do some light PT with the ruck. Ruckers were given the option to skip the PT and continue rucking, and the PTer’s then jogged to catch them on the loop.

Good times were had by most.

Out COT referenced Proverbs 11:24
“Those who give generously receive more, but those who are stingy with what is appropriate will grow needy.”

Often times we read a verse like this and think about money, and while that may be accurate, what if we are talking about time? I could argue that time might be our most valuable resource, and if we are generous with that time, where appropriate, then we will be be blessed with “more”. I am not saying we will get more time, but I think there is value in managing and not squandering our time, In fact, giving our time, may be more difficult than giving our money.

Show and Tell: Tonka Edition

AO: shamruck
Q: Eliza
PAX: Fabio (Joe Hamilton), Tonka, Mermaid, Dumpster Dive, Eliza, Johnboat

Three easy miles around the school and the track listening to Tonka talk about the good the bad and they ugly of the GTE.

Mid ruck we were joined by an FNG who spotted us in the Gloom. Welcome Johnboat who leads the Side Straddle Hops better than most of us.

Make a list of things you are thankful for today, and when you feel discontent, pull it out pray on it and add to it. God has put you where you are right now with all that you have right now for a reason.

The Mystery of Time

”For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
– a time to be born, and a time to die;
– a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
– a time to kill, and a time to heal;
– a time to break down, and a time to build up;
– a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
– a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
– a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
– a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
– a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
– a time to tear, and a time to sew;
– a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
– a time to love, and a time to hate;
– a time for war, and a time for peace.“
