This was a resuscitation of a workout done a few years ago. Q remembers now why he archived it….it’s a real Christmas-ball buster. Also, although we have done this routine at the Penney Wall previously, Q could not have selected a worse place this morning based on cars zooming through the intersection, uneven pavement, and palm-grinding pebbles. PAX all did a commendable job of grinding it out and most got in 2 1/2 rounds. Thanks Tombstone for being a great workout partner this morning and it was really gratifying to see everyone out there giving it their all.
I got a little personal this morning but wanted to share because its important we remember that God is listening. When we lift each other up as a community of men, our spoken and unspoken prayers are being heard and answered in ways we cannot imagine. Look around and see it in action in your fellow PAX, reaching out to assist others in this Christmas season, helping to answer someone else’s prayers. Or witness it in the gradual recovery of TP’s wife Katherine, from a very serious situation. It is all around us, and an awesome thing to behold and be a part of, however small that may be.
Merry Christmas to all.
Aye!
