The GIANT Killer

Another glorious morning at GridIron. Some of the PAX pre-gamed with a look at the leadership example of David and his take down of Goliath.  Loose Goose then planted the Shovel Flag.  Four of the Faithful got straight to it with 6 double dippers converging after enduring the DogPile.

COT:
The usual fare with announcements, expressions of concern (Fudd’s wife), and iron sharpening encouragements and challenges.  Bleeder took us out with a strong prayer remembering that the darkness of this day is eclipsed by the eternal hope we celebrate tomorrow.

Moleskin:
Pre-Game Gut Check query:  what’s the giant in your life and what are you doing about it?  David pocketed 5 stones, quickly engaged Goliath in battle, and slayed the giant with 4 stones to spare.  One of many takeaways: leaders act decisively but also do contingency planning.

Welcome back to Lightning Rod and TClaps for his strong efforts this morning.

Another great sight seeing 6 of the Pax cross the GridIron to join the starting team at Work the Pillars. The double-dippers truly inspire and lift the workout to a higher level – TClaps to Chum Bucket, Brain Tumor, Swirly, Wilson, Wedding Singer, and Bleeder, supermen one and all!

Johnsonville and Loose Goose pushed through their respective ailments and brought their consistent high levels of performance and enthusiasm.

Monkey Rolls continue to amuse – a decidedly less octogenarian showing, but still an appalling lack of timing and spacing – Excelsior!

A strong showing at the Daily Grind for some solid 2nd F.
