A Frozen Merkin Mile, with Blocks!

11 PAX braved the 4 degree morning to post at Arrowhead. The shovel flag had to be leaned against the bleachers as the ground was too hard to plant it.  The PAX wanted to get moving because we felt like we would freeze in our tracks if we stood still too long. I am honored that we had more men than degrees on the thermometer.

MOLESKIN
This is a big year for the Thigpen Family.  Out oldest son begins Physician Assistant school on 1/8 and gets married in August.  Out youngest (only daughter) finishes high school and will go to Samford University in Birmingham (5&1/2 hours away), while our middle child begins his senior year at UT in the fall.  Big deal, big things that I could worry about.  I am reminded of 1 Peter 5:7 – Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.  We all have great responsibilities that might weigh us down, if we let them.  1 Peter 5:7

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Arrowhead PAX welcomed a FNG (Adam Habart), who got the EH from Jester and joined us on this frozen morning.  He and his wife have two daughters and considering his choice to have his first post in 4 degree weather, he has been given the F3 name of Elsa.  Seemed appropriate.  Welcome Elsa.

Sign up for empty dates this month.  Honeysuckle has the Q on 1/9.
