MOLESKINE: Think of somebody in your life who might need a check-in from you. Reach out.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack, but there is a 2.0 event (nerf battle). And still selling that 50 mile thing.
COT: Welcome to Radish (aka Lewis, 24, originally from South Africa. Just moved back to Nashville, after previously being at Lipscomb). I don’t get credit for EHing – somebody else said something, then I just had him Long-Jump next to me. Thanks to other PAX for making him feel welcome, including Coffeteria.
Prayers for Pep stress at work. Alleviation of suffering in Gaza. Gratitude that impact of overnight tsunami was not worse.
Thanks for allowing me to lead today!
