CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Here is what ChatGPT4 has to say about Consistency. (not as good as what I said)

“Consistency refers to the quality of being uniform, stable, or constant in something over time. In various contexts, consistency can have different meanings:

  1. Behavior or habits: Consistency in behavior or habits means maintaining regular patterns, routines, or actions. For example, consistent exercise or consistent work performance demonstrate stability and reliability.
  2. Thoughts and beliefs: Consistency in thoughts and beliefs refers to having a coherent and logical set of ideas or values that do not frequently change or contradict each other.
  3. Quality or performance: Consistency in quality or performance means maintaining a specific standard or level of output over time, without significant fluctuations or variations. For instance, a product’s consistent quality ensures that customers receive the same experience every time they use it.

In general, consistency is often considered a desirable trait, as it demonstrates reliability, dependability, and predictability. It can build trust, enhance relationships, and contribute to personal and professional success.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Pi is an irrational number. The first day of Spring Break, I was irrationally upset at my 5 kids being home alone with them all day. As fathers, we have to be patient, especially in situations that are out of the normal or off the routine (like Spring Break). 

PRAYER REQUESTS:

Prayers for Matlock’s father and the issues with insurance and his therapy.
