Started with two and picked up a third, Pusher we have all been there ;). But there were actually four for the ruck this morning (Matt 18:20). Question came up, is the name offically the Damascus Ruck and why Damascus? Two reasons, 1. Damascus is known for steel and this is an iron sharpening iron exercise and 2. the idea of the two disciples that walked together and Christ came (unbenonced to them) walked with them, and through their conversation their hearts burned inside of them. I was wrong this road was not the road to Damascus (that was Paul's Conversion) but was the road to Emasus. Still sticking with Damascus Ruck.
