COT: Guest COT by Smokey. Smokey tore his ACL last Sunday. Initial reaction was frustration and worry about what he would do following the injury. Since then, he’s turning what could be a tough situation into an opportunity. He’s building relationships with friends and family, handling the adversity, and making the best of it. We can all follow Smokey’s example on dealing with adversity when we face it ourselves. Prayers for Smokey as he goes under the knife in a couple of months and for his prehab and rehab.

It’s bright out here
