COT

Regardless of school affiliation, I think we can all learn something from Dabo.  In the midst of all the hoopla and excitement surrounding winning his second “Natty” in 3 years, Dabo took time in his post game interview to give credit where credit was really due:  to Jesus.  He was asked about the “joy of the moment” and he responded by stating that “joy comes from focusing on Jesus rather than yourself” and “it’s simply the grace of the good Lord to allow us to experience something like this.”  F3 really embodies this idea on focusing on someone other than yourself and if Dabo can do it on a stage like that, with millions watching, we should be able to do it in our everyday lives.  The grace of our Lord gives us the ability to survive and thrive each and every day and for that we should all be thankful.


Moleskin

There was a lot of good MC this morning.  Fissure floated around on his Cloud 9, mentioning “The Natty” (which only Clemson fans seem to say).  We had a discussion about the equestrian teams of South Carolina and Auburn.  Fissure almost got abducted but was actually just helping a kid find their shoes.  We once again struggled through FNG naming.
