Break to do some flutter kicks on the wet ground during the chain run, just to ensure everyone was fully cold and wet before we finished.

Daily Bible Verse:  “A new commandment I give you: Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
(John 13:34-35, NIV)

What Rules Your Life?  Leonard Sweet urges us to go past the Golden Rule to the Titanium Rule.  He says it’s Jesus’ idea.  This is the way he breaks it down:

  1. The Iron Rule.  “Do unto others BEFORE they do it unto you.”  This was the rule when humanity was first organized into clans.
  2. The Silver Rule.  “Do unto others AS they have done unto you.”  This is the “eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” mentality.
  3. The Golden Rule.  “Do unto others AS YOU would have them do unto YOU.”  The Golden Rule built the best of Western civilization.  But who does it put at the center?  YOU.
  4. The Platinum Rule.  “Do unto others as THEY would have you do unto them.”  The focus moves from you to them.
  5. The Titanium Rule.  Jesus established this rule.  The focus is not on “doing;” it focuses on “loving.”  “Love one another as I have loved you.”
