From the Army Times: "If you're on a ruck march, and you've got a 75 pound load and your walking for a really long time, when you take it off, it's the best feeling in the world, that's what it feels like, like I took my ruck off."
~ SPC Osvaldo Hernandez, former 82D Paratrooper, after learning that NY Governor David Paterson pardoned him for a felony gun conviction when he was 20 years old.
Jesus takes on our ruck sack of sin so that we can be healed (forgiven). "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed" (I Peter 2.24).
