COT:
I had the honor of joining Mr. Wanderer and his family at their church this past Sunday. And, while the sermon was based on the importance of doing Good Work, the thing that I kept hearing over and over and over again both in the sermon and in the music was an emphasis on God’s Name. If it had been only one reference, I would have thought – well, ok we should certainly respect the name of God. However, this was such a frequent refrain throughout the event it I began to over analyze… again. Then, there was that Ahh ha moment – Why such emphasis on the word “Name”? and His Name in general? So, what I surmised is that the name of God and His son Jesus is above all others. The name represents all that God represents. Since His name is clean, and above all others, and His name is truly beyond reproach and should be exalted above all else, what does that say about our personal names? Yikes! That’s a high bar to set for ourselves, right? To respect our name as we would His own? Well heck, have any of us ever fallen short of these expectations? Have we done things that we are not so proud of? Have we disrespected our name or the name of others? And, are my own transgressions so great that I should just crawl in a hole and stop trying? That hardly seems fair. No, he is a fair God, and a righteous God – and thank God he offers Forgiveness. As each of us go out into our communities this week, I encourage us all to practice forgiveness of others and also of ourselves.
What I remember growing up is how my mother always told me that the most important possession in life is our reputation, and that our reputation is all we take with us when we are no longer here.
And so I I found the following excerpt from…
Bible, Matthew 6:14-15: “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

Borrowed a recent word shared by Stitch about listening to others. I’m terrible about remembering conversations with others which is ultimately me just not being fully engaged.

We explored the roads in Belmont West and Gulf Park and had a great time catching up with guys we have not seen in a few months.

Following the Ruck, we discusses being vulnerable, sharing problems, and being open to seeking help. These topics tie into the QSOURCE OTB that we are experimenting with on Sunday mornings to potentially have a non exercise AO that focuses on teaching leadership principles. This is continuing on the Grow School Leadership training from the GTE, and the concept of “unlocking” men.

James 1:22-25
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

Spur for us to be DOERS of what we know we should be doing.

Also pointing to the promise that we will be “blessed in” our doing.

Lord help us to follow you :fistbump:
