open.substack.com/pub/danhenson/p/the-white-space-between-the-notes?r=392uga&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Three A’s and an F. Known as “four notes that changed the world” according to many scholars, or also known as the beginning to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. We’ve all heard it. We know it.
– Yesterday, my wife and I had the opportunity to connect with other life group leaders within the Young Adults ministry at Fellowship, and listened to Brent Crenshaw teach for a few moments. Something he said stuck out to me:
– “It’s the white space between the notes that help make the music.”
– It had never occured to me that the white space in between the notes help establish the necessary spacing in order for the composition to go smoothly. No one really ever pays attention to the white space between the notes, becuase it’s all about the notes and how they come together.
– But without the white space between the notes, the Fifth would probably sound like 30-40 minutes of notes rear-ending each other in a never ending crash. Chaotic.
– Things are happening between the notes (like space/time/rest), but we just don’t see it or forget the importance that the white space between the notes holds.

Don’t negate the work God is doing in between the big things in your life. Sometimes, it is in the quiet space in life that God speaks the loudest. It’s been true for me. With the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit, the work that is done in the white space between the notes should not be dismissed or looked over. Keep at it. Don’t give up. In other words, stay the course, keep the faith, and fight the good fight. Take this truth and run with it today!

Notes & takeaways from a portion of GrowSchool
(From GTE-46 (SEND ME))

1. What is your “F3 story?”
1. This matters!
2. Not only do people outside of F3 need to hear this as you EH them, but it’s also important to remind ourself and other men in F3 of this story — it helps us better understand each other and how F3 has changed our lives.
1. Rightness is a process – not a destination
2. f3nation.com/get-right-q1/ — The Pursuit of Personal Alignment
1. Commitment to the DRP (Daily Red Pill)
2. King — Fitness
1. Fatigue makes cowards of us all
2. No one cares what you can do when you’re fresh – it’s the level of integrity that you execute at when you’re smoked and tired that fights against the quote above
3. This is a daily discipline of the body
1. Queen — your “put in the body” discipline
1. Typically viewed from a nutritional perspective (diet, etc.)
2. But broaden the scope to include anything you are consuming – physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally, spiritually, etc.
3. Your King can’t outwork your Queen
1. If I workout 7x a week but have a terrible diet, it doesn’t matter how hard I’m working
1. Your King and Queen are intrinsically related and connected
1. Jester — temptation of the flesh
1. anything. that hinders the acceleration of your King, Queen, Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith.

Message:
On this day of our celebration of America’s independence I have some quotes for you that reflect the principles our nation was found on. When I reflect on great American quotes I think of “Give me liberty or give me death” by Patrick Henry or “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country” by John F. Kennedy. But here are five more quotes, not all by Americans, that reflect on America and it’s principles:
True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth. –Eleanor Roosevelt
1.
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better. – Albert Camus
1.
In America, nobody says you have to keep the circumstances that somebody else gives you. – Amy Tan.
1.
We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions – bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
1.
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom. – Bob Dylan
1.
Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country. – Calvin Coolidge
1.
When thinking of that last quote, I think particularly of our military veterans who have fought to keep our country free. That freedom gives us “the chance to be better” like Camus says. It comes with responsibility as Dylan proclaims. And because of our freedom, as Tan states, we don’t “have to keep the circumstances that somebody else gives” us.
