CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The big praise was that QVC showed up today
MOLESKIN:
Followers of Jesus, as a whole in this country, may not be recognized as being “peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy” (to quote the apostle James). Surely it’s our responsibility in the public square and on twitter as much as it is in our personal relationships.
THE SCENE: The good: It wasn’t pouring down rain. The bad: 99.99999% humidity.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: I’m pretty sure Gibbler didn’t say it was free or that he wasn’t a professional. Both of those facts were immediately apparent, however.
WARM-O-RAMA:
I distinctly remember lots of SSHs while Bluebird took his sweet time walking over from his truck to the AO. I think he stopped to re-tie his shoes and picked up a few pennies off the ground on the way. And then we did some Tennessee Rocking Chairs.
THA-THANG:
We moseyed to the Colosseum (that’s right Gibbler. The Colosseum. Not the Overlook!). Once we got there, we started listening to that song. What’s that song from the Disney movie? Yeah, that one too, but I’m thinking of the other one. No, we listened to that as well, but I’m thinking of . . . forget it. We listened to all of them. Well, except for “Bear Necessities.” Where’s the love for The Jungle Book, Gibbler??
As we re-imagined this as a workout with our 6 year old kids, Gibbler had us do pyramids. I’ll be honest, I don’t remember all of the exercises, or in order. Just know that we blasted our legs and our abs for a solid 25 minutes or so. Occasionally, we’d break for a long bear crawl (incident free today, thank goodness) or a run around the loop. Mumblechatter was at a high level throughout.
Heartbreakingly, it was time to head back to the AO far too quickly.
MARY:
At the AO, it was Capt. Thors up to at least 6/24 before a merciful 15 seconds of stargazers closed us out and the last song of the day gently swirled down our ears (“I’ll Make A Man Out Of You”? Honestly, they’re all running around together in my head right now, so I can’t remember.)

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
MOLESKIN:
Another Tolkien quote: “The old that is strong does not wither.” This one is dedicated to our very own BlueBird, who hits 59 tomorrow. Happy Birthday, BlueBird!

MOLESKIN:
Talked about “Grit”. A book by Andrea Duckworth of the same name. discussed her take on how success is determined more on your effort and hard work than mere talent. It’s a mindset. Setting good habits. We talked about being disciplined and how we need to display grit in all areas of our life. To not be complacent.
