Circle of Trust (COT): Count-o-rama and nam–o-rama
Exodus 12: 3, 6, 7 “Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. …and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.1 7 “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it”

Apocryphal story about 2 men and their conversations as they spread the blood as directed on the doorposts. “Hey man, this is kind of crazy. All the plagues, you know. The frogs and hail. Everything happening to the Egyptians just as Moses said. God has caused everything to happen. Its crazy right?” “Yeah” “Now Moses said that we have to put this blood on the door posts because an angel of death is going to come and kill the firstborn over male in every family that doesnt.” “Yeah.” “What do you think? I mean, this seems a little crazy. I just dont know if this one will really happen.” “If God says it will happen, I believe it” “Yeah, but what if it doesnt. Frogs and nats and hail are one thing…but an angel of death.”

The question is: Which man’s sons were saved that night? The answer is both.

YHC remind the PAX that the 3rd F is an important pillar of what we believe in F3. One of the key points about the 3rd F is possessing faith. In this story it’s not about the magnitude of the faith, or if there is some doubt. The point that having Faith is what matters. We need to believe in the creator, in God, in the Sky Q. God doesn’t exist because we have faith, we should have faith in him because he exists. The object of the faith is what saved the son’s that night. That is the faith in God is what saved the sons. Not how strong or weak their faith was.

Moleskin
Peaberry’s hearing is impeccable! When The Zyzos tried to shame-goad him for not showing, Peaberry almost magically appeared at the end of Motivators.
Airbags, on the other hand, hit the snooze button one to many times after his Vegas Vacation with Clear Coat and the M’s. When a PAX shows 7 minutes he misses out of Staiway to 7s (which really went to 10)
YHC was so excited about the beatdown I forgot to do 10 step up and was immediately and ruthlessly chastised by Gilligan. Who was practicing for a future career as a private catholic school headmaster. He is perfect for the job.
The Zyzos was very disappointed that YHC called recover before he could complete a 3rd round of sideways V-Sit-ups. The sympathy YHC felt for this beloved brother PAX led to a modification to my planned Mary sequence to include an extended time of sideways V-Sit-ups, just for him!
These are the events as I recall them and they are 100% verifiable and indisputable.
