10 pax ran the Pub. That sums it up, but Defib said to be sure to add details, so..

After some debate..and some “cranky” pax (I’m only going to run half, I’m going to run slow, I’m running a 9-minute pace, that route is kind of hilly),..I chose to run the good, but boring up-and-back route.

Lots of traffic made it hard to cross and caused some pauses.

Did Freight join us? That’s whose voice I thought I heard yelling “bat, bat” (thinking “bat flippers”), but it was actually Sargento warning of bats, one of which clashed with Termite’s head.

Defib had to turn around half way through to go to work. Sargento didn’t even realize he had been there, but then how would he as he had pulled ahead of the pax.

Sister Act ran his second sub 8 in a week.

“Mr. 9-minute mile” Slaw just about ran a sub 8 himself.

Roscoe popped up..in between vacations..glad to see him back!

Short Sale came through with water and passed it out immediately, unlike at the Midoriyama Slaw beatdown in the afternoon sun and heat where we had to wait..and wait..and wait.

Oh, and Flintstone, we END and 6:15, not START.

7 HIMs plus YHC came out on a muggy morning to put in some miles at Prison Break. I got to sub for my brother who is running hills and leading his youth group at Crowder’s Ridge.

One thing about F3 for which I am thankful is that I know I’ll get a few laughs at whatever AO I post-and for the fact that SA broke his fall-and not his teeth. Had that have happened, he wouldn’t have been able to eat that bag of taffy that he probably had polished off by the time he got to work. Nice one!

Roundup and Youth at camp

Word:

⁴ You adulterous people!^[a] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. ⁵ Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? ⁶ But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

“Do not draw the wrong conclusion about God’s jealousy and shrink back from Him because He will not rest content until He possesses all of you. This is the God of grace who is jealous, the One who has given His Son for you. No matter how deep your sin may be, His grace is deeper still.” Sinclair Ferguson

Keep pushing!

Word:

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Romans 8:29‭-‬30 

“..in the struggle for holiness in an unholy world, God is with us, behind us, not only AT our side but ON our side. Whatever opposition there may be from the world, flesh, devil, God the Trinity has DETERMINED to POUR HIS ENERGY into making us like Jesus Christ. It is His settled purpose.”  Sinclair Ferguson

God has chosen to make it a high priority to pour His energy into make believers Christlike. It is His settled purpose..as Sinclair Ferguson states.

Word:

Romans 8:26 ESV

 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

I like this translation:

 So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.

Thankful for you guys, the run, fellowship, ability to do this! Let’s really pray for these requests..lift up Turtleman for tomorrow!

YHC took us out.

Seems that I couldn’t remember Bubba Sparxx’s name when I asked him to give me a 10-Count; Oh, he reminded me. Seems Bubba Sparxx wasn’t quite sure if he had the Q at Storm tomorrow; I reminded him..He does.

I guess Pillager “forgot” to post; we were going to practice some cadence with SSHs..next time.

Great to have Gator with us for his second post; come back!

In fact, I would encourage more Pax, especially those in the Belmont/Cramerton area to post at Mt Hollywood. I don’t get there much during the school year, but it really is a great venue.

Very thankful,

Seuss
