Who’s the Q?

Scene

52 degrees and brisk, damp grass and a few small puddles.  The parking lot is lit by a single overhead light, but otherwise dark and gloomy.  The PAX slowly roll in, find their parking spots, and begin to circle up by the now-planted #ShovelFlag.

Stirrups: “Who’s the Q?”

Reload: [grinning]

Reload: “I’ve got it this morning.”

Stirrups: [pause]

Stirrups: “Crap…”

And with that, 12 veteran PAX heard the disclaimer, and hopped aboard the #PainTrain!

DEVO

YHC has been a horrible Christian leader of his family as of late.  So in lieu of a standard DEVO, I was selfish and asked the PAX in attendance (and those reading this backblast) to hold me accountable in getting back in the routine of getting my family to church on Sundays.  We love the church we’ve been attending, but life always seems to have other (less important) plans that I use as a crutch to skip church.  My kids want it.  My marriage can benefit from it.  My relationships with others rely on it.  And I need it.  So, check in on me from time to time and make sure I’m doing the right thing as the leader of my household please.  (Oh, and don’t tell my M I said I was the leader of my household, OK?)
