On a rainy Saturday, the 2.0's poured in along with a good turn out of Mustangers. For a total count today of 19! Solid!!
Some 2.0's are not registered on the site, but to give them credit for being present:
FNG1=Tigger
FNG2=Patty
Knobby 2.0
Jellybean 2.0
Hambone 2.0
Two FNG's (Friendly New Guys) today. One is Lawson, a 2.0 neighbor of C# and Soldier. One of the most well mannered kids you will find. He is fast too, and put up a good race today against many of us. He loves Clemson, and likes golf. We considered "Outlaw", but that was taken, so to reference golf (Tiger Woods) and Clemson (Tigers), we almost named him Tiger, then someone yelled out "Tigger" and that stuck. So welcome Tigger!
Our Second FNG is Jimmy McKay. He is going to fit right in, and hung with us today with no problems. We were glad to have you. He also says he will come to the Memorial Day Murph (Rescue Park at 7am), so you can meet him there! So being that he is a nurse, nicknames were all over the place. The name Jimmy, triggered a thought of "Jimmy Dean" in a couple of our minds and a couple PAX(people) came up with "Sausage". Being a male in a field that is out numbered by women, other references were also made to sausage. Luckily there were 2.0's there today and that didn't get out of hand. So "Sausage" lead to "Sausage Patty", which then was quickly shortened to "Patty". Welcome aboard Patty!

Reflection:
I have two questions for you. Answer in your head, not aloud. I’m not trying to put anyone on the spot, just provoke thought.
Does God love you?… I’ll go ahead and tell you we all should be saying yes to that! Now question #2…
Does God like you?…
The typical thoughts are that God does love us, but we aren’t so sure He likes us, (mainly because we are sinners).
We tend to have this attitude toward others because we think this is God’s attitude toward us. We love others because we are told to, and are expected to, but do we like everybody? No. Matter of a fact often times we get on each other’s nerves and actually like very few people.
We think God loves us but doesn’t really like us. At least, He doesn’t like us the way we are now. He likes some future version of us where we have cleaned up our lives, gotten rid of sin, read our Bibles and pray more faithfully, and witnesses regularly to our friends and neighbors. That future person is the one God wants to be friends with and hang out with; not the “broken” and sinful person we are now.
The truth is:
God wants to be on a first-name basis with you. He wants to be the one you think of calling when things are going great, and the one you call when things are going bad. God likes you so much, He wants to even hang out with you when you are weeding your garden, filling your car with gas, and running errands. And best of all, God likes you just as you are. He doesn’t want to be friends with some “better and improved” version of you. He wants to be friends with you … as you are right now.
Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs."
We should be so grateful and thankful that God adores us like that, and that he not only loves us, but even likes us.
Moleskin:
- For me the absolute best comment of the day was when Miranda went in for his turn to flip the tire, his 2.0 "Knobby" yells out, "Dad, you need some help?"… I'm sure it was because he wanted to help his dad, not because he had any doubt that his dad could do it!
- Was one of the best workouts in a while, where we just plain ole got SOAKED, rolled in the grass, and just did our thing and made the best of it. Gripping began early about coffeteria and how wet/dirty we all were. Hey I can't control the weather! But it has been a while since we had that kind of workout and I kinda missed it.
- Really glad to have Patty join us! Looking forward to continue seeing you out there brother!
- Not sure who opened the 2.0 gate, but attendance was great, and I love having them participate with us.
- I know there was a lot more chatter with 19 PAX out there, so feel free to chime in with anything good/funny I missed.
