Many brave HIM, 16 to be exact, came out into the murky Gloom to be inspired by the Spirit of teamwork and shared sacrifice with all manner of Coupons. All who joined came out better, stronger and wiser than they were before. It was glorious.

Moleskin:
In John 14, Jesus spends considerable time encouraging his disciples as he prepares them for his imminent departure from them. He tells them “Let your hearts not be troubled” in v.1 and “I will go and prepare a place for you” in v.3. The disciples are confused and worried about how they will continue and sustain without Him, when Jesus confidently tells them “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.”
During this Lent season, we reflect intently on God’s miraculous Grace and Jesus’ incredible sacrifice. But we sometimes forget about what Jesus termed in v.16 as the Helper. The Greek translates this as Parakletos, an advocate and counselor. This must have been dumbfounding for the disciples, as one of them asks “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself into us?” Perhaps the greatest, most enduring, ongoing demonstration of God’s grace is The Holy Spirit, which is God manifested in each one of us who are believers. It almost suspends belief that the God of the Universe, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, would not only send his Son to pay the price for our sins, but then send 50 days later the Holy Spirit that would fall upon the disciples at Pentecost.
The Holy Spirit is our Helper, our Supporter, our Encourager, our Wingman. This priceless gift from God is incredibly easy to dismiss, forget or downright ignore. But He follows us into battle, protects us in the DMZ of our daily life, gives us strength and sustenance when we have none, and absolutely never, ever leaves us behind. “I will give you another Helper, to be with you forever.” Lean into the Helper, in your prayers call upon Him to stand with you as you face the Fire of trials and challenges. Celebrate with Him in your successes, let him carry you forward from your failures.
Thank you for the privilege of leading today, men. I enjoyed it immensely. Hope you enjoyed the VQ libations as well.
