COT:

Prayers for all the families travelling.

Prayers for Speedo’s Father-in-Law, Pete.

Prayers for my in-laws as they move 5 minutes away from us…prayers it goes well but also that we’re able maintain good boundaries with them being much closer.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Always a good group.  Its a gift leading these men.
