Moleskin:

We had 3 groups emerge in the gloom. One group wanted to get 5-6M in which consisted of Macbeth, Oshkosh, Tiny Tim, Shaken Not Stirred, Einstein, Jethro, and Full Moon. Another group wanted to get in some slow Mosey with 2-3M which consisted of Blackberry, Jedi, and Red October. That left Drebin and YHC for a bootcamp option. Although we got our share of running in too. Drebin is a kindred spirit and a solid guy. YHC was meant to spend some QT with him today and is better for it. All groups converged for Coffeeteria after the beatdown. YHC was happy to be back again at Emmaus after being DR for a while due to our family’s loss. Thanks to all of the Pax for the DMs, texts, meals, and most of all-prayers.

COT/Namarana/Prayer Requests:

-Our kids, the challenges they face, and the journey of parenting.

-Unspokens in all F3 circles.

-Toby’s family appreciates the prayers and support during their time of loss of his father-in-law. Please continue to pray for his mother-in-law, wife, and family. Also pray for peace for a man named Dillon and his family who were involved in the incident.

Announcements:

-Upcoming elections-Remember Hippie and Gambini who are running for Huntersville Town Commission as our fellow Pax!

-There are plenty of Q slots at all AO’s. Please sign up.

-For new Pax, volunteer to lead/Q (we’ll help you co-Q). For you seasoned guys, sign up for some Q’s. Invite a brother you haven’t seen in a while who’s a Kotter. Invite that #just1 who needs you more than you know (an invitation is a powerful thing brothers). If none of those work for you, just show up. No one will be left behind, but it all starts with the discipline to take one step on your own.

Until next time…
