Thankfully not Somewhere in Pennsylvania

Six strong at the GridIron, three sporting red shirts and three sporting black shirts (one of which was apparently well-worn if not a bit tight); all eager to get stronger with the “encouragement” of the PAX.

Mosey back to Parking Lot and belatedly planted ShovelFlag.

COT:
The usual with count, names, and announcements.  Discussion ensued concerning growing the Third F and building on the 8 week PreGame lessons of Old Testament leadership.  Loose Goose, inspired by his recent F3 posting at an AO in SC, invited prayer requests and the PAX responded enthusiastically.  We concluded with a prayer expressing both our spoken and unspoken concerns, knowing with confidence that amidst the storms of life, the sanctuary offered by the Almighty is inviolable.  Coffee at the Daily Grind followed.

Moleskin:

Last week’s FNG, Flip Phone, showed the PAX that he’s more than an accomplished hiker with a strong sophomore posting today.  Always glad to have Chum Bucket with us even if the GridIron is his SafeHarbor for an awakening too late for the DogPile.  Turning 40 has been good for Groh – stronger and faster every week.  Loose Goose enjoyed his Homecoming at the GridIron and provided his steady leadership with his second half Q.  Johnsonville received some BroLove from one of the red shirters who noted his upper torso growth on fine display in his new snug fitting MudGear F3 GridIron shirt.  No major hiccups in Earthworm’s first half Q though his second half performance was compromised by a right hiker’s hip malfunction and a genuine concern for his law partner, J’Ville, whose M has tasked him to transport his budding Olga Korbut to a skills camp “somewhere in Pennsylvania.”  There was consensus that Harrisburg and back in a day was easily done – certainly a whole lot less daunting than a Scranton (or Erie) round trip.  FEBA!
