16 PAX confidently entered the gloom this morning and 16 1/4 left.
In an effort to keep our Crick regulars guessing, Van Der Beek enlisted YHC to aid him in delivering pain to the PAX in his first exhibit of leadership. Shall we begin?

Very strong work by all today! As iron continues to sharpen iron, the PAX answer all challenges thrown their way. Welcome to FNG Wobegon.
In fashion, we recruited an “FNG” who posted with us for Mary. He is a Korean Pastor sent here to found a multi-ethnic church in Briar Creek and is excited to post on Saturday.
As always, it’s an honor to lead (and assist future leaders). YHC is humbled Van Der Beek reached out for assistance as he explores the waters of leadership and I applaud his tenacity this morning. There was very little mumble-chatter as the PAX worked hard.
