Reflection: John 6:66-69
From this time many of his disciples [from the crowd] turned back and no longer followed him. “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
– This was right after Jesus physically fed the crowd of 5000+ with a few fish and loaves of bread
– Jesus gave some challenging parallels of eating his flesh and drinking his blood; baptism references, and these were tough concepts to understand. Many of the crowd just left when the walk changed from "getting fed" to "consuming his words and living a sacrificial life".
– Paul's response gives a true understanding…when you know Christ gives eternal life, where else would you turn for guidance and life?
– where are you in your walk? getting fed or consuming/living in Christ?
moleskine:
– lots of chatter about Thanksgiving travel and food…felt good to get the muscles moving to burn through those extra calories.
– T-claps to Shredder for sticking with it and fighting through those first few workouts…as GW said, the 2nd workout is the hardest. 3rd, 4th, and so on aren't really any easier…I think we all just get a little tougher and start expecting more…that seems like a good thing.
– Fun to have GW's pooch 2.0 Dakota with us. He must have thought we were nuts a few times. He braved the chilliness like a boss.
– T-claps to Skipper for re-finding the flag. Didn't get the whole story, wasn't really ever lost, but I think Vortex played some hide and seek with it.
– Go get yourself some leftover turkey men, you've earned it.
Always an honor to lead you guys,
Cheetah
