Matthew 18:12-13
What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.

Be appreciative of those who stick around you. I’m not saying the one that goes astray isn’t worth going after, but to understand what grounds you is important. I’ve heard this from another Q, but I feel that it is fitting. I am not original, I am a by-product of the people I surround myself with.

When you leave today, let someone who grounds you know they are appreciated.

Gentle and lowly by dane ortland, I would recommend this book! It’s been a balm to my soul. here is a quote I wanted to read today but didn’t have time.

“We cannot present a reason for Christ to finally close off his heart to his own sheep. No such reason exists. Every human friend has a limit. If we offend enough, if a relationship gets damaged enough, if we betray enough times, we are cast out. The walls go up. With Christ, our sins and weaknesses are the very resumé items that qualify us to approach him.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Subset of divisiveness (which I talked about at the Asylum on Saturday) is cancel culture.

Cancel culture is contrary to Christian beliefs and the lessons that the Bible teaches.

It is also against the old adage that we teach our kids – your mistakes do not define you, and this one from church – love the sinner, not the sin.

The Bible is full of examples of how a person is not defined by his worst traits, deeds, or words, but here is one.  Saul was not a good man – he persecuted Christians among other things.  Jesus blinds him, converts him, and turns Saul into Paul, who was a great man.  Paul did a lot of good work, is a pillar of Christianity, and is traditionally attributed with writing 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament.

Where would Christianity be without Paul?

In today’s cancel climate, Paul would be canceled because of Saul and with him a lot of the New Testament.  Let that sink in.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”  Ephesians 4:32

My favorite band is Oasis, who had a song titled “Don’t Look Back in Anger.”  That’s good advice from a band that was drunk and high for most of the 90s.  No need to cancel good music because of bad behavior.  Otherwise, we would not have any good music.

Man A Post vs Hold the Line
To man a post is a good thing. You stand your ground against incursion protecting a defined territory. The challenge is, you can forget why you are on the post, and instead be motivated by the need to dominate and succeed or by your innate fear of failure and incompetence. You can end up focusing on the task as it relates to you only.
I have spent most of my life manning a post. Trying to be successful, competent and do what is right…at least when someone is looking. When I got married the post changed, and it did again when we started having kids, but I was still manning a post.
A year ago tomorrow Kim started chemo for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and we had no idea how much help we would need. We were still in a “man the post” mentality and I took the day of chemo off and prepared to head back to work the next day. She came downstairs and couldn’t keep her eyes open. I quickly called a friend who had been through chemo a few years before and she came over within 20 minutes. Hannah Jackson held the line with us.
2 weeks later we had moved out of our home (with the much needed help of F3 men) and were staying with Mayberry and his crew as our house was finished up. We hit the second treatment, while staying at their house. Kim’s hair started falling out, she was a wreck so they gave us their master bathroom so I could shave her head. That was the single worst experience of my entire life, but they held the line with us, and we cried and laughed around the fireplace together afterward.
Manning a post is about personal responsibility, personal ability, personal integrity and can get confused with pride, self-congratulations and pseudo-independence.
Holding the line is about everyone else. It is about whom you are protecting, what you are protecting against and with whom you are locking shields.
You can man a post WHILE holding the line but don’t get confused, the post is important, not because of the importance of the man on the post, but because the LINE is important,. Look for ways to hold the line with the HIMs around you, and even more with and for the sad clowns who don’t know they need the help, protection and comfort. Don’t just man a post…hold the line.

With everything going on with the Pandemic, be sure to check in on people and make sure they are doing well.

When you are visiting family and friends, try to avoid the “How is work going?” and ask “Are you happy?”

The happiest of people don’t have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.
