CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Joshua 24:14-15.  Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness.  Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.  But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.  But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

Choices matter.  Make wise choices for you and your family today.

MOLESKIN:
Props to Waxjob for showing up early with his leaf blower to clean off the pavalon.  T-claps bro!

After our 20 minutes was completed, we eased back to the AO by way of the Pee Rock pile. We used some nice, heavy pee rocks to get a set of 7-ups in.
