In Iraq we don't take holidays. My President's day started at 0630 with personal Bible study. I am using www.youversion.com for my reading plan. I am reading their chronological plan which shows me some interesting things I wouldn't pick up on otherwise, such as today, I was reading about Jeroboam, the son of Solomon, and, at the end of the story in Kings it basically says there is more to the story in Chronicles, and at the end of the story in Chronicles it says there is additional information in another book, which isn't a part of our current Bible.
Bible study was followed by a team run at 0700. We ran 4.5 miles at a sub 10 minute mile pace. After the run I showered. It appears I may have sung the praises of the Pro Glide prematurely. I still like it but it does cause some discomfort, as all razors do for me. I think it may be because of my thick facial hair.
I Skype called my girlfriend while I was getting ready and we talked for ten minutes then I had to go. I went by my teammates' rooms but they weren't there so I left in the direction of the building I work out of and I saw my team leader not too far ahead of me so I ran to catch up with him and we walked to work together. We spent the morning getting ready for our mission and rolled out just after lunch. I work in personal security details, or PSD, so work involves driving in Humvees and escorting important people wherever they need to go. Everything went well. I got a chance to work out during the mission while waiting for our principle (the guy we were escorting) to get done with his meetings. I did five rounds of a fifty feet of walking lunges with a forty-five pound plate over my head with my arms locked out, followed by twenty-one burpees, which are an exercise where you squat down and put your hands on the floor and then kick your legs into the push up position while lowering yourself then you push up while returning your feet to the squat position and then jump as high as you can. It was difficult.
We got back from the mission at 1800, which made me excited because I wanted to go to Living By Faith Bible Study, which starts at 1900, but we didn't go straight into our AAR, which is where we discuss what we did well and what we need to improve on. We have to do it after every mission. So after we ate we did the AAR and I was able to get out of there by 1910 and I got to Bible study around 1930.
Bible study was awesome as always. For the part I was there for we discussed spiritual gifts. I could try to explain what we talked about but I think in the group setting and the spirit that was there enhanced the message. Afterwards I talked to the teacher, who was the minister I prayed with at Gospel church yesterday and he gave me a book about fighting the temptation I told him about yesterday. He told me not to return it so I told him I would pay it forward. I can think of at least three people who could benefit from it right now.
After Bible study I returned home and began writing this and now WWE Smackdown is on. It is the 600th episode so it started with a twelve man inter-brand tag-team match. At one point it was Rey Mysterio and Kane in the ring. That has to be one of the most mis-matched fights ever. There was an awesome series where all twelve went one by one doing their finishers on each other, culminating in Rey Mysterio doing a double 619. After the match Vickie Guerrero came out to inform Edge that he was not only stripped of his title, but that he was fired. It was a funny sound byte but you probably had to be there. Picture Vickie Guerrero screaming YOU'RE FIRED! and then Booker-T saying What the heck? and then no further dialog as they go to commercial. Yeah, you had to be there...Anyway...
Next up was a Diva's tag match. A year ago the TNA Knockouts where ten times better than the Divas but I think the Divas have ramped up the athleticism and are more entertaining now. This match wasn't too good though.
After that was Kofi Kingston against The Miz. Winner The Miz, assist by way of distraction, Alberto Del Rio.
There was a tag team championship match Slater and Gabriel of the Corre against Tag-Team Champions Vladamir Koslov and Santino Mirelle. Santino actually hit the Cobra to win and then The Corre started to beat him up but The Big Show came out and saved him.
After that Teddy Long made his return and Vicky sold out Dolph Ziegler to try to save her own job. Teddy made a match between Dolph Ziegler and the now rehired Edge for the championship.Edge hit a running spear to win by pin-fall and got his title back. After the match Teddy Long came out and fired Dolph Ziegler.
After that I called my girlfriend and laid down to relax before bed.
