Additionally, even after being built, you cannot ignore them. Continued maintenance is required or all of these will crumble.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: thanks to all who came out to compete and volunteer at Heart Break Hill this weekend
COT: Q shared a quote from Pope Leo XIV
“We are often preoccupied with teaching doctrine, the way of living our faith, but we risk forgetting that our first task is to teach what it means to know Jesus Christ and to
bear witness to our closeness to the Lord.
This comes first: to communicate the beauty of the faith, the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus. It means that we ourselves are living it
and sharing this experience.”
Know your faith and live your faith! Make it known WHO you are by showing WHOSE you are.
Prayer Pledge Picture :flag-scotland:
Making sense of it relies on framing. Failure is bad when you frame the question around the “thing” you are doing, since this result is final. If I set a goal, and I fall short, then I failed, period. But that isn’t really the frame that we care about. The frame of interest encompasses your entire career of action. From this perspective, the outcome of each thing is simply a data point that, when compiled together with other data, gives you information about how your actions and circumstances are connected to outcomes. So, what do we do with that? Here are some conclusions I see.
1) Data does not speak for itself, it is through your attention and intellect that it acquires meaning. So, make sure that you invest your attention and intellect in the activity of processing and understanding the data. Don’t leave it to your subconscious and feelings. A long series of successes might be pleasant to think of as a winning streak, but it might actually be revealing a lack of initiative. A long line of failures might make you feel like a failure (if you let it), but in fact you could be exploring some important territory that you need to understand.
2) Don’t fall prey to the temptation to indulge in the moment. Pride lies in wait to catch you no matter the outcome. In success, the temptation to take credit when in fact it was the Lord who gained the victory. In failure, I see in myself two tendencies. First, to deny my part. But the second is more insipid, to indulge in accusing myself. The person I imagine myself to be chastises the real me, disgusted to be associated with someone so frail/irresponsible/negligent/thoughtless/stupid. This is not helpful. If you can’t believe you failed, you have put your faith in the wrong place. If your failure results in your self destruction, you render it meaningless. In fact, failure often teaches much more than success, if we will learn. So don’t deny the failure, but look right at it, take the lesson with humbleness, make corrections and address my errors (with others if needed), then move along trusting in the forgiveness that surpasses all understanding.
