Reflection:

“Jesus Wept” —John 11:35

Talked about this verse this past week with some guys in a Bible study.  The connection was with the thought that Jesus experienced our humanity and the sense of loss and struggle we face.  However, another interesting insight I heard was that this also deals with the eternal question of why bad (hard) things happen to good people: Jesus too experienced that with the loss of Lazarus and wept yet on the other side we see the miracle and goodness that came from that.  Anvil had some awesome perspective on that as well mentioning sometimes what we perceive as something bad truly isn’t if we allow ourselves to see God’s overall plan and not look at things in such a small scale as a moment in time. 

Moleskin:

-Tonka gritted through the workout despite suffering a self induced burpee injury this week while doing the 100 burpee/day challenge (doing the burpees all at one time!)

-Anvil was at the forge recently and described the construction of a timber chisel and his hopes to start constructing a log cabin in the SVU woods.   

-Cheetah has the wisdom of a sage and the endurance and facial hair of Hulk Hogan!
