NMM

  • The crowd seemed pleased with the Moroccan night clubs followed by the arm circles
  • I’ve never asked for as many count downs as I did today.  I had to have asked Tool and Kenner Brah to countdown from 20 or 10 at least 15 times.  I was toast.
  • Thanks to Tool for keeping the energy up and pushing us to get down the mountain.  We had to take the ski lift down by swapping the body builders for merkins.
  • Kenner Brah, never one to shy away from making things awkward at the end of a workout, came through again by quoting Ed Sheeran lyrics as we started the COT.
  • COT got much better from there.  I had a really neat experience where for some reason, I felt compelled to pray for a young man from our church who recently got a job at Acropolis on Feret.  I’m rooting for this kid that he will stick with this job and get some good life experience.  Not sure why I felt compelled to share this with the guys but as soon as I did, Kenner Brah asked me his name.  He knows the kid and will soon be in-laws with the woman that owns Acropolis and give this kid his opportunity.  I walked away knowing that God is very much in control of this situation.
