COT

CIRCLE OF TRUST:  After 52 years I’ve learned one incontrovertible truth, time is fleeting.  Carpe Diem “Seize the Day”.  Read recently in Scripture (Psalm 90:9) “we spend our years as a tale that has been told”.  While it never resonated with me when I was young, the older I get the more I realize that time is fleeting and while it doesn’t actually increase in speed, it certainly seems so.  It is our responsibility to make the very most of each day.  To work hard, to love hard, to forgive and ask for forgiveness, to strive for excellence, to learn, to give, to serve.  Each of us must purpose in our hearts that we’ll not waste one minute but prepare, plan, and make every second of every day count.  Carpe Diem!
BALL OF MAN: Prayers for Blowouts Uncle and family.  Prayers for Fastlane’s wife and her Grandmother as they serve as her caregiver.  There were several other prayers for sickness.


Moleskin

In the midst of Round 1 of our workout, Deep Dish enlightened the PAX with the following:  Merkin (definition):

A pubic hair piece. A toupee for the pubic area/genitals. In the 1700’s when mercury was used to treat sexually transmitted diseases (Gonorrhea or Syphilis) one of the side effects was the loss of pubic hair. To disguise this condition, that was not cured by mercury, a Merkin was employed.
17th Century setting: Due to his treatment of the “French Pox” (syphilis) with mercury a merkin Gwendolyn used a Merkin to used to hide the side effects of hair loss and not alarm her husband.
We are all grateful for Deep Dish’s word of the week.
