Skipper being a purist performed the best 2 LBCs ever seen.
Reflection: Acts 5: 34-38
“Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
I came across this reading this past week and saw the reflection reference the Gamaliel principle- Gamaliel was a Pahrisee and encouraged his fellow Pharisees to show leniency to the apostles of Jesus. I liked the reminder of keeping in mind what is temporal and human design will come and go but the important stuff like faith and the example of Christ never goes away or becomes dated. Eventually the stuff that matters comes out on top.
Moleskin:
Good fun today! All men got wood. On the first try!!! Even those 50+. RESPECT!
-I partnered up with Anvil and witnessed him pretty much single handedly put the harness around his shoulder and drag Michelle up the nature trail like a haus!
-Strudel related how closely the show Office humor parallels his work world!
-Cheetah ran 6 miles before and donned the fanny pack like it was 1980 and he was in a JC Penny catalog.
-Dandelion was the last shooter today and the pressure was on but he rang true.
-Lightbulb came late but it was all good since he dropped of the Michelle strap at 2000 last night, thanks brother!
-Skipper!!!!! What a great addition to have the SVU leader back in our ranks. Minimal complaining, great form throughout and had a smile from start to finish!!
