The faint mournful cries arising from multiple Sisyphus ascents during previous campaigns still hung in the air as the PAX gathered under the clouded early gloom. But today’s outing would not include the legendary mount. Instead, our merry band took to higher ground, staying on the move and declining the 10-count. We had a day of Sabbath. Back to toiling beside your brothers. That’s why we’re here. Here’s how it went down.

PRAYER: Several needs for prayer for the PAX family members, including Dufresne, a friend of Enron, YHC’s brother and others.
Jesus said at one point, “The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
That’s amazing. Through him, the whole world was made, but he came to humbly serve and give his life away.
In F3, the way we put it is, “I am 3rd.” God first. People around me second. I am third.
Go from here today looking not for how to be served, but to serve.
First Opportunity: Pray for the man next to you on your right.
RATINGS led us out in a solid prayer, praying that we would be 3rd. Aye!
