50 degrees and mostly sunny at the GridIron this morning. 3 of the PAX gathered in the quiet parking lot (youth football season has concluded) – the only noise being the grunts of J’Ville who decided to pregame by getting a jump on his daily Burpee count.

COT: Groh shared his experience this week at the funeral services for his good friend, Brian – an athlete who died young, a loving husband and father, and a firm believer in eternal life through his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. With her father firmly at her side, Brian’s wife and the mother of his three children, praised God for the exceptional life of her late husband, even as she mourned his passing and bravely shared the family’s sharp pain of missing her husband and the children’s father. Of the many things he could have asked of God, Brian asked that during his remaining earthly life he would be blessed with better knowing God. Groh is confident that Brian’s prayer was answered, and that Brian shared that knowledge with his family to his last breath. The Pax were blessed with this moving testimony. We closed in prayer, asking that in these difficult times Brian’s whole family be comforted, and expressing gratitude in this season of Advent for Jesus — Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
Moleskin: There was some levity during the finishing run — J’ville was determined to finish first and he feebly alleges that YHC’s superior (and winning) pursuit angle was really a shortcut (Groh wisely stayed out of the fray, concluding that the dispute was beyond resolution). Otherwise, there was a solid business-like attitude at the AO this morning with negligible MumbleChatter. Even quieter, appropriately so, during COT.
Next week at Coffeeteria (Daily Grind) – post-game fellowship taking a look at Isaiah 9:6. DogPilers: even if you don’t double-dip, please feel free to join us!
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
