Pledge and COT

Announcements: Saturday workout is at Fault Line.

Devo: Taking on a new leadership role can be scary.  Yes, you may make some mistakes, but if people were encouraging you to take on that role, then they have faith in your ability to do it…but if you wait until you personally feel like you are ready, you may never make the leap.  So sometimes you have to take the risk and go out and lead before you feel like you are ready.

Moleskin: It’s always exciting when somebody steps up to co-Q for the first time.  Snips has been a regular at Bedrock since December, and finally took the leap to lead for the first time this morning.  He had to deal with the first co-Q jitters, the classic Fish N Chips stalling tactics, and some solid mumble chatter, but he handled all of that well and led us through a good workout.  I look forward to what he’ll bring to the Q table going forward.

Announcements: SpeedForNeed on September 25.

Devo: It’s ok to not know something.  It’s ok not to have an opinion on a topic you aren’t familiar with.  By all means, get educated on things you want to know about.  But nobody is an expert on everything.

Moleskin: I recycled a workout I had done back in March 2020, and it seemed to get good reviews….except for whatever died near the whiffle ball field, which created a major stench in the air while we spent our time in that part of the park.  It was great to have Three’s Company back in the gloom, and the 2nd F at Starbucks after the workout was excellent.

He doesn’t grow weary of hearing our prayers and doesn’t miss any. Take heart that there is a God who wants to hear your prayers.

Moleskin: Another muggy July morning here in Summerville. The PAX still ran hard. The bricks added just a little more suck to the run out to Jingle’s Hill.

Devo: Reach out to a brother when you are in need…don’t hold everything inside.

Moleskin: I had seen Three’s Company around so much, that I never realized that he hadn’t ever become a full fledged Q.  He had come up with workouts in the past when there was no Q present at an AO, but had never planned a workout at F3 yet.  He decided to pick up the co-Q for today and he came up with a great one.  He’s definitely Q ready, and I’m excited to see what he can do around the region.  Thanks for stepping up Three’s Company, and great job by the Pax today.
