I am the last person who can tell you about relationships between a man and a woman. But from all the podcast and preachers and teachers I have heard through the years, a successful marriage can only come from a very tight unity.

In Rocky IV, Rocky has to defend the honor of his fallen friend and his country. But it isn’t until his wife shows up and gives him 100% of her support that he gains the strength that he needs. He didn’t need motivation, he needed support!

Your wife needs you as much as you need her. Together with God you can achieve anything.

In the last film, Rocky fights the current, younger champion. Everyone counts Rocky out. His trainer tells him that he needs speed to over come the champion. But Rocky doesn’t have the speed anymore. So his trainer says, “Let’s build some Hurtin Bombs”.

In Rocky 3. Rocky breaks down and admits his fear. He admits that he is afraid.

Adrian tells him to push through the fear and give it his all. She asked him. “You are the one who has to carry that fear around. Afraid that everyone is going to take things away from you. That everyone thinks you are a coward. That you aren’t a man anymore”

Sometimes in order to gain others respect and to lead others; you have lead yourself. That grit and determination will make you more of a leader and will let others trust more in you.

2021’s Last Call

For about the last six months, I’ve joined Waterboy on the journey down Gaston Day for EC prior to the mosey at The Pub. It’s helpful when you live exactly a mile from an AO. As YHC closed in on my run goal for the year, YHC was met with a surprise at the end of my driveway before the EC mosey. Flintstone and Whoopee were there waiting on me to run the mile that would get me one mile closer to my yearly goal. I want to thank them and all of the other PAX that have offered encouragement over the last couple of weeks as my goal got that much closer to a reality. It was greatly appreciated.

It was a very mild December morning so there was a good crowd gathered. Time to go…

The Pledge

The plan for the route was to run out of 2021 the way we ran into it. When Stroganoff Q’ed on 1/7/21, we ran:

Right out of The Pub onto Gaston Day School Rd til it turns into Armstrong Park Rd
Left on EAST Perry St
Right on Lee St
Left on S New Hope Rd
Right on Armstrong Park Dr
Right onto Armstrong Park Rd til is turns into Gaston Day School Rd

We ran the same route on 12/30/21.

Until sometime in 2022…
