I was studying the Book of Titus and noticed a theme that is good for everyone to employ. Do good. There are many verses in Titus all pointing to this simple but powerful lesson. DO GOOD.

“Rather, he must be hospitable, ONE WHO LOVES WHAT IS GOOD, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.“ Titus‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭

“In everything set them an example by DOING WHAT IS GOOD.”‭‭ Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬ ‭

”….. a people that are his very own, eager to DO WHAT IS GOOD.” Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬

“Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to DO WHATEVER IS GOOD” Titus‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬

“And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to DOING WHAT IS GOOD. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.“ Titus‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ ‭

“Our people must learn to devote themselves to DOING WHAT IS GOOD, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.” Titus‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬

Announcements:
Beer Mile at Sargento’s Saturday 12/30 at 11 am
Convergence at Martha’s 1/1/2024 at 7 with EC run or ruck at 6.

Prayer Requests:
Slaw, Jackson Hall, Turtleman, Oompa’s coworker’s family, Wichita’s dad, Clutch’s coworker’s daughter, GUmby’s mom, Broke’s mom and Wirenut’s mom and also remember our guy Ball Joint.

*NMM Lots of discussion about getting older, taking naps, antique shopping, the idea of being a grandpaw someday and inflation. Problems were solved.

The Duck Dynasty Route

Solid group of 9 for the debut of the Duck Dynasty Route.  Why is it named the Duck Dynasty Route you ask?  Well let me tell you.  When running the Duck Dynasty Route, you’re never more than a mile from the shovel flag, which means you’re always within earshot of any duck calls or SOS from headquarters.  Every good route gets a name, even if it’s just the Sargento Route Backwards.

We didn’t lose any out of town guests (thanks to Roscoe), and Termite may or may not have needed to use the facilities.  All in a good day’s run.
