Omaha was called at 6:04 and we moseyed back to the flags.
Bobsled made a rookie mistake and forgot to do Sarpy Slammers…..Sigh

Prayers for KOA family in tough times.
COT: (Shame is not My Name)
Something that had been an anchor dragging me down my whole life, as long I can remember is Shame. Shame is unique and specific. It’s different from guilt. It’s another level. It takes things from an action or an event to an identity.
Guilt says I did bad. Shame says u are bad. Guilt says I lied. Shame says u didn’t just lie, ur a liar. Guilt says I failed. Shame doesn’t just say u failed, and that’s a moment u had. It says no, you’re a failure and you’ll always be a failure.
It makes me say I don’t know if I’m good enough. Do I deserve this? Am I worthy? Am I loveable? You can’t do that! Remember what happened to when u were 5? And when u were 6? And 7? What if they find out? What if they find out who u really are?
For me, it’s shame from my past. Things that happened. Things I had to do to survive. Things that maybe I didn’t do, but we’re done to me. Things I was told. Nobody loves u. Ur own mama doesn’t even love you.
So how did I go from sitting in shame and being stuck? Shame is selfish when u think about it. I had to stop making my shame the center of my story. If you let shame define your history and your future, you are saying your shame is more powerful than what God thinks about u. God don’t see u like that and he’s not scared of it!
Do u know how we were created? He put his hand in the dirt and breathed on us. Everything else he spoke to. Let there be light, water, sky, land, birds, fish, animals. The 1st time God touches the earth is to make man. Why? Because He wanted to be in the details of His masterpiece.
I like to visualize things in my head. Every time I pray, I play this movie in my head. It’s just me and Jesus. And he looks at me and says SON! MIGHTY MAN OF GOD! MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART! I always look down and ask ‘Who me?’ Jesus picks my chin up and focuses my eyes on Him and says YES YOU! YOU ARE MY SON! AND BY RIGHT, AN HEIR TO MY KINGDOM. TAKE UP YOUR SPACE. I GAVE U DOMINION!
When I think of myself as a citizen of the Kingdom, it makes all the difference. I’m not healed, but I’m healing. Jesus is the great physician. If u go to Him honestly with your damage, he will be drawn to your infirmities. He will fix your heart. The one thing Jesus cannot refuse is a broken and contrite heart. He knows everything about you. He knows how many hairs are on your head, but He won’t heal what you won’t reveal. It takes humility and honesty. Jesus doesn’t heal who you pretend to be. He doesn’t heal who you think you’re supposed to be. He heals who you really are.
A quick closing prayer was said. Thank you, Boss Hog was asking me, and allowing me to lead The Sanitarium. I do love Q-ing in Sarpy County. Sarpy Go Hard and I love every minute of it! I consider myself very blessed to be where I’m at. #SWAG
Aye! Bobsled
