‘Twas the morn before Christmas
When ten fearless PAX
were def’nitely NOT nestled
all snug in fartsacks.
Nine of them drove
and one of them ran
and all of them brave
right down to the man.

COT
Prayers for Cool J and a marathon day of Christmas services at Duke Chapel, safe travel for all and for a third prayer request that I cannot recall (my apologies), but God knows and we lift it up in sincerity and hope.

YHC is beyond grateful for F3 and the PAX. Each of you are a gifts to one another (coupons optional).
