9 arrived to a nice morning, looking forward to getting better. Interesting looks when I pulled out the agility ladder, drew 2 lengths, and placed the original on top. Yes, those are paint stirrers and duct tape; it works. You'll hurt, don't worry.

*** Most people want to hit, er encourage Dandelion

Reflection Recovery: Ecclesiastes 1:2
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”
– other translations say different words, the original Hebrew word here was hebel, meaning vapor or mist
– main point of Ecclesiastes is Solomon describing how everything without God is temporary, a vapor that will disappear, a mist that you can almost grab ahold of but disappears when you try to grab it
– it is impossible for us to understand how we play a part in God's grand design

Also, 2nd reflection, Ecclesiastes 5: 18
paraphrasing "Eat, drink, and be merry"
Meat Grinder repeat-o
