Message
This is a quote from the theologian, Rebecca Manley Pippert, about Jesus Christ:

“What do you do with a man who is supposed to be the holiest man who has ever lived and yet goes around talking with prostitutes and hugging lepers? What do you do with a man who not only mingles with the most unsavory people but actually seems to enjoy them? The religious accused him of being a drunkard, a glutton and having tacky taste in friends. It is a profound irony that the Son of God visited this planet and one of the chief complaints against him was that he was not religious enough.”

Gents, think about that the next time you judge someone else. Also, think about that the next time you feel like you are not good enough for God. God is here for us, even in the Fake Gloom, even through our mumble chatter, even at our Board Meetings. And you know what? He probably enjoys us. This holiest of holies is on our side. So, let’s feel good about that and let it give us the energy to go about our days working to be true HIMs.

COT

There’s a lot of buzz about this game tonight, when Tennessee takes on Oklahoma. As I was looking up some of the stories and quotes and info around tonight, there are a couple that really popped out at me.

Josh Huepel’s return to Oklahoma
– He won a national championship as a Heisman Trophy runner up QB for Oklahoma
– Later coached there as the OC and was then fired
– This reminds me of another story where someone was fired, but it had a different ending as well
– In Genesis 37 we see a gifted young man get fired — from his own family.
– Joseph’s brothers essentially fired him, throwing him into a pit and then eventually selling him.
– But then — how does the story come back around?
– “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
– ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭50‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Even though you may go through experiences of “being fired” or “cancelled” as the current language would say, it’s not the end of the story.

Eric Cain (covers the Vols for volsquest)
– You can only play the team in front of you.
– Referring to TN destroying Kent State but the fact that it was Kent State

Coach Dunn kicks off football season!

PAX: MD Hammer, Lilydipper, Drum Major, Tenderfoot, Brick, High Heels, Pele (Jon Lindberg), Rooney (Carl Whipple), Switchhitter (Tony), Pusher, Curveball, Crash Dummy
FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
WARMUP: Coach Dunn had ‘em hit the ground for 20 merkins followed by a dedicated focus on loose groins

THE THANG:
First and foremost, this workout is dedicated to Coach Wayne Dunn, who worked as hard and inspired us to be ready for the start of football season. Actual quotes and insights provided from Coach Dunn to the innocent Pluto when he was a freshman in high school were shared with the Pax to help them mature and understand the ways of the world. We also played some football because it’s an American game and America is the oldest and greatest country in the world. Per coach Dunn.
– First set was a set of 11s featuring picnic table box jump Burpee’s and big boys
– Second exercise was an experiment to ensure we had football players. The PAX was divided into group of threes where a 5 minute monkey roll drill was completed.
– Next exercise was two laps around the back side of the asylum building with five Burpee sets split between each loop.
– Next exercise was of vital importance and was inspired by one of the Tennessee Vols away games this year the Pax was divided into groups of two that opposed another group of two in a modified version of the Oklahoma drill.
– After a 30 second break the Pax ran to the bottom of the hill completed 20 Merkins and ran back to the playing field.
– The final exercise was a game of touch football
