MARY:
Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder we passed the rocks back and forth a couple of times before chucking them back into the ditch.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We in the F3 and GoRuck communities are no strangers to “Embracing the Suck.” A good friend of mine who is going through a terrible situation added some color to this idea for me. We had seen each other in passing at church for several weeks. I could tell he was carrying something heavy in his soul, but I couldn’t figure out how to break through the small talk without being nosy. Somehow or other we connected and he shared his very bad situation. He seemed almost serene in the recounting of awful details.
I asked him what was keeping him anchored during this storm. He pointed to God’s goodness. He said something to the effect of he is choosing to accept this awful situation as a good gift from a good God–though incredibly painful, it must be for his own good in ways he can’t understand. I was blown away by the power of his story: his visceral pain, his tangible faith. At the very real risk of trivializing his pain, my encouragement is to embrace the suck in AND out of the gloom. If you’re going to find excuses, find excuses to give thanks.
MOLESKIN:
Prayed for families going through difficult times.
Should have prayed for our delegation of GRTs headed to Nashville for #BotB
Orange Julius is a fantastic AOQ. I forgot I was on Q today and didn’t have my head in the game. PAX were gracious as always.
If I could do it all over again, I’d shorten Warm-o-Rama and go the full mile I had planned.
Missed some of the Morg regulars, but thankful for OJ & The Streak.
