I got a survey from Worlds of Fun today. Seems they want to know how people like their all season drink bottle.

Fitness Update: Update Tracker
Well, this week the software/firmware or the FitBit Flex 2 got an update. And while I am sure there are a lot of good changes in the process, I have noticed one that is especially helpful.

#149: When We See Christ
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Ofttimes the day seems long, our trials hard to bear, We're tempted to complain, to murmur and despair; But Christ will soon appear to catch his Bride away, All tears forever over in God's eternal day.
