With several Hollow PAX heading to Donatello’s Q at Snake Pit as well as the Midlands Tour heading that way, I was thinking it might be a light crowd at the Hollow. Still, I knew I had a solid beatdown planned, and I knew these guys and that whoever was there would bring it. When I rounded the corner into the parking lot, I was greeted by a pack of guys ready to get work done. We ended up with 18 PAX, and we all put in some solid work.
Here’s how it all went down…

As we closed I reminded the PAX that we don’t just post for ourselves. We post for one another. The brotherhood of F3 Lexington is strong and capable of leaving a mark on the lives of others just as it has made a mark on each of us. I shared that their presence here today meant a great deal to me and lifted my spirits on a difficult morning. I challenged them to go out and make a impact in their homes, their workplaces and their communities just as they had made an impact here this morning. I prayed, “Lord may this world be better because WE are in IT and because YOU are in US. As always, I consider it an honor to stand among and lead the PAX of the Hollow. I look forward to seeing them in the gloom soon.
