Shared my Testimony with the PAX. “No one after lighting a lamp covers it up with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Luke 8:16

Walking in faith can be scary at times, but it is through faith where we will grow and become the HIM’s we were meant to be through the Sky-Q.

Moleskin: We’re still missing the shovel flag, Frosty? We woke up to a beautiful Florida this morning, oddly warm and windy. We finished up right before the downpour. P-Nut was lobbying for a 25 minute show, but we ran over and used every minute. The Bobby Brick Hurley’s were a real crowd please’r and we found the bricks a new home. Nobody walked out with any injuries that they didn’t walk in with, so that’s good. Great day to be a part of this PAX.

Count-Off and Name-O-Rama:

BOM:
P-nut related how our run down Route 66 was an analogy to traveling life’s path. We have distractions along the way, but we need to remember the words of Jesus in Luke 9…and how we must be willing to sacrifice everything in order to truly follow Him.

P-nut then prayed us out- including a prayer request for Pfieffer’s grandfather and relief from holiday stress…especially that stress placed on our wives.

Moleskin:

A group of brave souls with questionable judgment participated in a RUCK/run prior to the beat-down. All PAX were treated to 3 miles and a buffet of burpees, squats and merkins. Spirits were high and the mumblechatter was strong. Great morning at the Pound.

Respectfully submitted,

P-Nut

BOM

75 years ago yesterday the Japanese lead an unprovoked attack on our country where 2403 Americans were killed. 1777 on the USS Arizona alone.

On this day in history, December 8th, 1941, thousands upon thousands upon thousands of men volunteered to go out and defend their country, their states, their cities/towns, their families and their friends. Gallantry was physically seen when these men laid down their lives to save each other during WWII.

In our society we lose sight of that, we live for ourselves, we live for maybe a few people close to us (wife kids), we live to make more money, buy a big house, drive a fast or sometimes old car. But rarely do we live for each other, and even more rarely does someone make the sacrifice for another.

The men of WWII laid down their lives for their friends. Time after time, these men jumped on grenades, charged enemy entrenchments, and gave their life so that their friends may continue to fight or make it to safety. Their friends. These men died for someone that they loved and were friends with, people they knew intimately.

That makes me think of John 15:13 where Jesus says:

“Greater love has no one than this; to lay down one’s life for his friends”

Jesus died on the cross for His friends, which means He gave himself for all of us, which means He knows us all intimately, which means we are all His friends.

As the PAX broke, Manhattan dropped a nugget of knowledge on me “what’s even more impressive is Jesus gave his life for his enemies too.”
