“Just when you thought it couldn’t get more humid, today happened.” – Maize. That about sums it up. Down right nasty sweatbox conditions for 14 this morning. The plan was to go off site and conquer some new ground. No disclaimer needed. Costco shows up a little late and asks where we are going. Too late…. we were off.

- True Grit – I think of my father who did three tours in Vietnam before age 22. He has loads of medals including the purple heart, combat infantryman’s badge and bronze star with valor. He’s faced the enemy and he’s faced fear head on. I’m proud of him and all he has done for this country and our family. But… I don’t know if he’s accepted Christ. “Grit” to me means courage to face your fears and push forward when things are tough or uncertain. If knowing Christ is the single most important decision in a person’s life, we must have the “grit” to spark the conversation. It’s not easy for me though. Sometimes those closest to us need it and I find myself staying quiet. Time here is limited. I need to have the ‘grit’ to have the conversation. Zima prayed for that today. Thank you.
- Papercut’s 2.0 Aquaman hung in there today. Not many 9 year olds could do that. Nice work.
- Hot. Humid. Steamy. Nasty. Suck. Grit. – all words that applied to today’s workout.
Always a pleasure.
