Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
John 14:1
- Believe ≠ mere intellectual assent (“I believe in ghosts”).
- Believe = TRUST = active thing built on a relationship, experience, and intentional engagement.
- Believe in God/Jesus = TRUST in God/Jesus.
Moleskin
- The original intention was to do a full round / grand tour of the AO, but YHC was informed by several PAX arriving from a different direction that the Park Ranger was already parked in preparation to preclude our perpetration of impermissible park interloping.
- Welcome to FNG Bryan aka Market who evaded much less flattering grocery-related nicknames.
- One PAX had some weapons-grade flatulence early on. Someone requested he “lay down some cover fire” later on in the beatdown.
- Musket introduced a welcome reminder that many of our problems would be solved by just losing some weight.
- Approximately 2 miles put in for Quad P.
