COT:
Chadd Wright, 3of7 Podcast, said:
“I hiked the Grand Canyon today. If you have t done it yet, you should…..as soon as possible. I have been many places and have never seen anything like it in terms of landscape. I told my wife, during our hike, ‘I can’t believe we waited this long to do this.’ It’s inexcusable. It made me think of how much we leave on the table in life. How often we pass on the opportunity to create amazing memories….because we’re busy doing things that don’t really matter. Soon enough, it’ll be too late.

Don’t leave life on the table. Bring Glory to God in everything we do. Make memories, because things fail and pass away, but memories last a lifetime. And especially, don’t wait, life is but a vapor, and the days are long but the years are short.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Hot Toddy Quadruple Q (Toddy Quaddy) will be this Saturday, 7 am at the Asylum.

COT:
Message: Bad leaders are more interested in self-promotion than services of others. They fail to take true interest in those they lead. They don’t truly participate with those they lead. They are not that interested in the growth of those they lead.

Good leaders are willing to get in the trenches with those they lead. They take interest in each person they lead and desire their enhancement versus self-promotion.

Bad leaders can suck the life out of those they lead. That leads to burnout for those being led and even quitting

Good leaders breathe life into those they lead. Good leadership leads to excitement, confidence and growth for those being led.

Prayers: For Crash Dummy’s wife who has Covid. For Lizzy who just got over Covid. For all people in this area who have been coping with the Covid, viral infections, or the flu. For those who died in the plane and helicopter crash, their loved ones, and all impacted.F

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Escape from Haw Ridge

COT: I am seeing more references to God and Jesus in society – from athletes in the NFL and college football to people serving in the government. I hope that it is all sincere (we can’t judge what is in another’s heart) and a sign that society is embracing God again and moving closer to his teachings and will. Time will tell but take hope and solace in these little things and be part of a larger revival in your homes and communities where and how you can.
