COT:
Fixer reminisced, then Z-Pack reminisced and DoorKicker said some stuff but I was getting coffee. Fixer and DoorKicker, feel free to add to this backblast with your COT comments. I’ll leave off with these verses from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Reflection on quote from William Blake
“We become what we behold.”

And we … beholding … are being transformed

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:18

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Proverbs 16:32- “Better to be slow to anger than a mighty warrior. One who controls his temper is better than one who conquers a city.”
As strong as we may be physically, it counts only as weakness if we are quick to get angry and give in to fits of rage. True strength lies in controlling our tempers.
