Grace at the Race!
Tomorrow, Thanksgiving morning, several members of Grace will be lacing up their running shoes for the 29th annual Cape Coral Turkey Trot. This is a 5k (3.1 mile) run beginning at Cape Coral Hospital. This is important information because some of us running will need to be close to the emergency room, namely pastors Tom Ascol, Ken Puls, and Tim Brister.
Rumor has it that bets are being wagered on this high-profile pastoral race. Pastor Tom has already concluded that, since being struck by lightning, his “flash”-like speed will be impossible to be beat. Pastor Ken has composed his own running music with the perfect syncopation and rhythm of running that he is slated to outpace the rest of the pack. Pastor Brister, new to the race, has sought encouragement from turkeys who have gone before. They told him, “Run in such a way so as to win.” Another told him to “compete according to the rules.” Still another said, “Press on for the prize!” He feels pretty good now.
Rick Jensen and his daughter Hope are also running in the race to keep the other three in line (that’s what a good deacon is for, right?). Having just survived Texas in a camper, Rick is ready to rickroll the racers. Friends of Hope have overheard her chanting, “Hope you can believe in.”
The Ascol’s fan base is expecting a high turn out, and Bryant King has already conspired about ACORN’s illegal involvement in the Ascol camp. Brister has been informed that, should Pastor Ken win, an immediate drug test should be performed by the anti-doping agency. Surely black coffee every morning can’t do that alone!
Without further ado, let the race begin!

Pastor Ascol Sightings in Mexico!
Mrs. Donna has been so kind to post some photos from their trip to Mexico, and I thought I’d post a couple of Pastor Ascol. Without further ado, Cowboy Tom and Flash Ascol.
