2 song thoughts:

First song: I’m so blessed by CAIN. “On my best days, I’m a child of God, and on my worst days, I’m a child of God.”

(Here’s a cover of the song recently posted by my alma mater that I’ve been jamming this weekend https://youtu.be/TfkITY6wKng)

Second song is from Frozen—“We’re not saying you can change him, cause people don’t really change.”

I really don’t like that line, and am reminded of the story of prison warden Clinton Duffy. During the 1940s and 1950s, Warden Duffy was well known for his efforts to rehabilitate the men in his prison. Said one critic, “You should know that leopards don’t change their spots!” Replied Warden Duffy, “You should know I don’t work with leopards. I work with men, and men change every day.”

There are examples in the scriptures of people making this kind of change—think Jonah, Saul of Tarshish. Also some good examples in literature— Ebeneezeer Scrooge, the grinch, etc.

In my life, the key to making lasting changes is Jesus Christ. He will heal you from sin as you repent. He will heal you from sadness and fear. He will heal you from the wounds of this world.

Whatever questions or problems you have, the answer is always found in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

The Lord needs better men, so let’s rise to His call! I’ve seen in my life that He will give us the power, stamina, and resources we need to enable whatever changes we need to make to follow Him.

COT:
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you’ve got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see (ah-ah)
Our troubles are all the same (ah-ah)
You wanna be where everybody knows your name

It’s the theme to Cheers. However, it holds true for me. When I’m struggling or just off, it’s always great to know that there’s a place where dudes are there to work with you, check on you, and sometimes be in the same stank you’re going through. You’ll have a good time. You’ll learn from others, they’ll learn from you. And remember, it’s Nationwide. It might not be a great as F3 Knoxville, but I may be biased. Still, it’s good to know that there’s a place to go to, and there are many here in Knoxville, Tennessee, and the Nation. Check out F3nation.com/locations if you don’t believe me.
