  •  The hero is commonly the simplest and obscurest of men.  ~Henry David Thoreau
  • Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death,even death on a cross.  Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,  so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5-11).
  • As we reflect on the heroes of the day, let us also set our mind to humility, obedience, sacrifice and service; yet not for our exaltation, but for His.

The pink backpacks for those that dared not bring one of their own (Thin Crust and Bugeater?) was a classic. As was the workout in general. Great work. And a shout out to Monkey Joe who gave a great prayer at the end to perfectly capture the moment and wrap things up in style.

Aye! Aye!
Greater love has no man than this — that he lay his life down for his friends.
