COT:
We can live a life of honor on the outside, if we live with joy on the inside.

Joy is our job. We speak life!

I went to Dollywood yesterday with my family. We had some passes we traded for concert tickets last year. When we got to the gate, they wouldn’t scan… We were advised to go to the ticket booth to figure it out. They told us the tickets had already been used. Now what?!
I was confused and angry. My family was upset. I chose joy. I went to the ticket booth and purchased 4 tickets and paid a lot more than I was expecting.

We had a blast 💥 I rode roller coasters with my wife and kids. My youngest is 8, so this was a new experience. I don’t know if it was because we were there during the week, or the weather was predicted to be dicey, but the lines were short. We stayed all day and watched the fireworks and drone show last night. It was amazing 🤩

When we choose joy as our job, we show up, we don’t shut down.

When joy is our job, we do not cover, we confront!

“ Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.”
-Romans 12:10

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
UnCOVEred coming up
COT:
My wife and I had a “staycation” this week. We took the kids to visit with grandparents, and I took a couple of days off from work. We get so busy in our day to day that we tend to forget how much of a blessing a wife is to us and our families. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages. Remember to thank her for her contributions to the family. Show her that you love her. Make time to spend with her. She needs to feel appreciated.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13 NLT

If someone ask you about your faith, it’s easy to answer that you’re a Christian, but when they ask you why, it can prove to be more difficult.

As men, we need to be ready! Stay ready!

God gave his only Son to die for our sins and save me, you, us…
