THE THANG: “A Good Plan, Violently Executed Now, Is Better Than a Perfect Plan Next Week.” – General George Patton.
After a much heralded 2021 version, Pax moseyed to the lit pickleball (yeah we are f’in cultured here at the station) and split into 2 teams with marked graph paper, 🖊️ and clipboard in hand for Battleship Part Deux. Upon marking their ships – btw this was the equivalent of watching a monkey 🙉 solve Schrödinger’s atomic equation (at least monkeys fling 💩) – the Sea Battle of Pickleball Court commenced and quickly was a-ragin’.

COT: – [ ] the strength and courage to carry forward. Jesus rode into Jerusalem to shouts of hosanna. The king is here. Within a week the crowds would turn, he would be beaten, spit upon, mocked, humiliated and killed. He still went. Hard things – that’s hard things of a scary scale. He pressed forward with courage knowing what awaited him in those days. Daily life thankfully is not the crucifixion but it does require courage to face, especially when we know the inevitable or what dread may await us. Take even a sliver of Christ’s courage and carry it with you.
