This is the 50ish day follow up bootcamp from Pentecost workout that followed 50 days after Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. A life changing, world changing and eternity changing thing happened over those 50 days after the resurrection and the men of JUCO were invited to do some powerful in their lives with 50 days.

Updates as follows:

Love Shaq has been hitting up camps with his students to develop better relationships and has some professional development coming up later this summer that should equip him with some better tools for the classroom.

Fetch – Some journaling has happened but he wants to be more consistent with it.

Guardrail – Solid on pullups but injured his wrist doing hand walking. Wants to do better with encouragement and prayer.

Commission – This push has been just what I needed to kickstart the development I hope to build and everything is on track with the timeline I set.

COT:
My wife and I had a “staycation” this week. We took the kids to visit with grandparents, and I took a couple of days off from work. We get so busy in our day to day that we tend to forget how much of a blessing a wife is to us and our families. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages. Remember to thank her for her contributions to the family. Show her that you love her. Make time to spend with her. She needs to feel appreciated.

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

At church we’re going through a study called soundtracks. 🔈

What you see impacts what you hear 👂
What you hear impacts what you think 💭
What are the soundtracks in our lives?

Neither negative or positive situations or thoughts 💭 should take you away from God.

We need to learn and adjust the volume on the soundtracks in our lives.
