COT
John 1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
No matter how far out we went away from the light, we always had that lantern as a beacon or marker so we knew exactly how far back to come. Even though it was dark outside, that light was not overcome by the darkness around it.
The God I believe in and serve is my light, is my hope, and strength, and I know, as a Christian, that no matter how many times we mess up (how far we go), we will always be able to come back to Christ and ask for forgiveness. It’s not a pass to live however we want with no accountability, but it’s a peace in knowing that even when we start wandering we can keep our eyes on the light and continue to put our trust in him.
Moleskin
I was definitely not expecting 21 PAX to show up and support my VQ. I am, however, extremely grateful for their support and patience in coming out for my first rodeo. With the big number of PAX, I had to call a few audibles, and change a couple things up from a space perspective to make sure we could stay socially distanced if preferred, and still be able to circle up and do COP in cadence. As an Ooltewah High School Alumnus, and an OHS Band Alumnus (how I got the name Sousa) I enjoyed working out on the band field at my old Stomping grounds (marching grounds) and helping the PAX get better!

Iron Pax coming up, sign up and at least help the region even if you don’t think you’ll do much individually! I will be in the latter half for sure, but look forward to challenging myself to the next level!
