05:11:52 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
“The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received. How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save? Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.”
Habakkuk 1:1-4
05:12:29 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
“Lord, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish. Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves? You have made people like the fish in the sea, like the sea creatures that have no ruler. The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks, he catches them in his net, he gathers them up in his dragnet; and so he rejoices and is glad. Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, for by his net he lives in luxury and enjoys the choicest food. Is he to keep on emptying his net, destroying nations without mercy?”
Habakkuk 1:12-17

05:37:58 From Patrick to Everyone:
In wrestling there , we starting standing. There is an initial interaction called a tie or a collar tie. It is the first interaction to kind of gauge the opponents strengths and look for a hold. Our "why" may be the thing the causes us to engage why God . I bless God (or should bless God) for the ugly things that have happened to me because if I am going to get tangled up with someone I d rather it be him.
