6 appeared from the soup to put a hurtin’ on the sloth. There was blood and a medic ride. Counting was….intermittent. There was dishin’ it out and givin’ it back. A new nickname request was granted; then request revoked. No pizzas were harmed during the making of this workout.

*** MEDIC!! After a minute, YHC sees Shredder walking gimpily back, blood dripping from his knee. Dandelion in No Man Left Behind mode. Pax offers to carry Shredder to the p.lot but he’s good. Apparently, a slippery root couldn’t handle the torque he was laying down and traction was lost. Dandelion transports Shredder home. Urgent Care opened at 8. 3 bottles of iodine and 4 stitches later, Shredder is better. Probably out for a few weeks.
The show must go on!

Reflection: Luke 18:10-14
“10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble”
- I find myself sometimes justifying that although I’m not perfect, at least I don’t do x or at least I don’t do y.
- I started to realize that I started to justify sin as long as it wasn’t as bad as someone else’s sin.
- I feel really silly for thinking that now, as if a little sin would get a free pass compared to other’s big sins.
- Well, I was wrong. I realize that Christ is more glorified when I admit my weaknesses and admit my failings.
- I hope there is a nugget in there somewhere for you.
Moleskine:
- Welcome back Theuss! Great to see you Bud.
- Stealth has been asking about maybe getting a new nickname for a couple weeks. Last week, he was warned that he may not like the new one. Warning not heeded. Upon asking this week, Diarrhea was offered. Now, he loves Stealth.
- T-claps to Dandelion for taking care of Shredder. While he claimed it wAs a 27-minute drive to/from Shredders house, Dandelion was back killing it before the 2nd Meat Grinder was done.
- Rest up Shredder. Glad it was only stitches Bro. Scars are cool! I’m already working on a non-knee bending workout for mid-June.
Good work in the soup this morning guys. Big efforts and hustle.
Truly an honor to lead this morning
