The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. [Proverbs 1:7]
- Fear of the LORD = valuing his opinion above all
- Fearing him is the beginning of [true] knowledge
- Only fools think they have it all together.

- YHC was hoping the Ruckers would choose the bag of balls for the obvious ball sack jokes that would follow. YHC was not disappointed.
- Thanks to the Ruckers for handling YHC’s ball sack carefully.
- At one point Priorities was giving everyone blue balls.
- There was some debate as to whose ball sack it is: the person holding it, or the person who owns it?
- The Ruckers made a point of sharing the ball sack burden between themselves.
- Bing was concerned about his shoes because they were “foot shaped.” YHC was similarly concerned about his shirt because it was shaped like his upper body.
- The uneven teams ended up working at due to YHC’s wrong turn on the first run back, which added at least 3/10s of a mile.
- The Ruckers were much faster than YHC anticipated. This was a good thing.
