Take up your Cross…

Take up your Cross…

It was an interesting morning….
the sounds of pax beating tires with sledgehammers, Pax struggling to carry a 200lb Cross made of telephone poles, Skillet scoring the morning with Rock/Alternative beats. Some, might see it as a cacophony of noise but in F3 standards … it’s what we do.

The End

Moleskin:
What a great morning. The weight of the cross and the objective of carrying it is to remind all the pax of something very important. As we approach Passion Week, always remember that the very weight of the cross is a picture of the weight and burden you don’t have to carry. He… has got this. Cast all (All) your cares upon Him, because He cares for you. If I can ever help any of you, do not hesitate to reach out.

tclaps to Header, Chin, Slimmy and Sinsei on the pre run.

So many guys out there working hard this morning. I’m still blown away by one of my heroes and friends, Sinsei. He was swinging that sledge hammer and nailing it every time. Nothing going to stop him! no excuses…. a good picture of character for us all.

To the new Pax, just getting started…. it doesn’t get easier, but you get stronger. Great job men and special thanks to Sinsei and BooYa
