-It's always a pleasure to Q at Night Ranger, but YHC's warning at Mad Scientist followed by the Burpee Mile I offered at the last Night Ranger must have scared most of the Pax away.  That may be a #TruthNugget, but we don't blame it on the New Years Eve Eve celebrations that were probably happening.

-The #Kotter award goes to Jock Strap for showing up after 18 consecutive weeks of skipping Night Ranger.  The man is a basketball legend in his own mind and after averaging 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, he may deserve that title, though we will decline to mention the league for obvious reasons.  Jock also thought I'd forget my counts, but that's not the case–YHC is just too lazy to type them all out.

-The Jacob's Ladder we ran is always a favorite and was the LIGHT version of what DPK had to offer.  We only went up two levels to reach the top of the ladder, but it was truly a #SnotWoggler with the pace we kept.  I think I heard Silver cry.

-Silver started off by questioning YHC's time management with a "Are you sure it's 7:15?" type razzle.  Granted, that's reasonable since YHC was using his watch.  He brought a similar complaint around 7:50 when I proceeded to bluff with "We're halfway through!"  He called it quick and knew I was almost out of time and gas.

-YHC didn't have a good word/thought of the week because I had been focusing mostly on things not related to The Word.  That being said, one verse that had caught my eye was from Isaiah 40:22:

"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in."

I read a debate somewhere on the Internet talking about how this verse proves THB mentioned the earth was round before science/astronomy mentioned that it was.  I tend to ignore debates like these when I'm reading these verses because I think it misses the point of the verse, chapter, and book in the first place.  Instead of reading Isaiah 40:22, read Isaiah 40 to get a better picture.  Even better, read all of Isaiah!  With the entire context, I believe the verse adds value to the reader's life.  Many of us are strapped for time and so we prioritize, but I would offer that the wisdom that is offered is much more than just one verse.
