Conditions:
It was a dark and cold start to the day with a temperature of 29 degrees. There wasn’t a wind and there were some icy spots on 10th St due to water run off and the slope of the hill.
“Thang:”
Dr. Seuss and I (Dynamite) were the only HIM’s to post for the ruck. After a little bit of a late start, Seuss and I trekked from Shimerville Rd parking lot heading east onto Pennsylvania Ave. We then trekked south onto 12th St and then east onto Arch St for a half a block. Seuss and I then headed south and south east onto the gravel trail to 10th St. We headed west/southwest up 10th St with great mumble chatter about the moral lessons Seuss taught his students in school this week using Ben Franklin’s autobiography with regard to the four domains of morality and how it’s better to be accepted for some character flaws than to be exhausted attempting to moral perfection. I then shared with Seuss my eventful Friday night having to come face to face with atonement and total repentance from a previous sin I committed. Seuss offered a contrary argument to Brennan Manning’s quote that we’re all good people who make wrong choices. Seuss shared the truth that we’re all sinful and to be “good” means we’re following God perfectly. This got me thinking further and I want to parallel the fact that we’re sinful to the idea of impeccability. Impeccability means without sin. Sin being anything done that goes against ones self. Sin is a choice, which means being impeccable is a choice too. When Seuss stated that humans are sinful by nature and it’s foolish to think that all are good, I realized that I need to live to be impeccable and stay in that lane. Seuss, from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you for your candor and wisdom and hope you will continue to serve as a spiritual resource for me. …Seuss and I trekked 3 miles in 37 minutes and made it back with six minutes to spare for the 0630 beatdown.
