It was the Usual Suspects lined up this morning: UB had planted the flag, Kleenex and his partner Paula Dean were yucking it up, Tinkerbell was stretching his massive 3 workout a day body, Banjo was looking impatiently at his watch, and Twig was early by his account with 10 seconds to spare. Yes, the Usual Suspects were here at 300. Well, all but one.
A stranger arrived around 6:25. He seemed confident, acted like he knew what he was doing, had gloves in hand and walked around with his salutations. His knuckle “good morning” seemed familiar. And his shirt was one of ours. When he moved to the center of the circle, the fog lifted as the disclaimer was announced.
Band Camp made it to 300.

COT: A famous quote from the movie and the underlying theme is is when Kevin Spacey’s character Virgil is talking about the “boss” Keyser Soze. He tells the cops…”The greatest trick the devil ever did was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” In context of the movie, it makes the legend of Keyser Soze more powerful with fear. But in context of our lives, we need to remember that devil is indeed a master of deception. His game is to deceive and make us think we are not actually sinning. Be careful with your thoughts and actions…be sure that all you say, think, and do is centered on Christ and the kingdom of heaven.
Even though I know you didn’t read this, it is a good mental exercise of creative writing. I need to do more mental exercises before my brain is mush. How about giving a brother some T-claps for his effort.
Band Camp.
