COT: We talked about how we all make mistakes… even Albert Einstein!– but negative reinforcement can be a bit toxic, especially if the bulk of someone’s effort is excellent. Don’t let negative comments be the only feedback you give to people. Positive reinforcement can be much more motivating.
POINT #1 of the BOM: don’t keep the fear of making a mistake keep you from trying something, but…
POINT #2 of the BOM: don’t let negative feedback be the only feedback you give someone. Don’t take for granted all the good things they’ve done, whether it’s your spouse, co-worker, etc. Praise them for that. Don’t just correct them when they make mistakes.

COT:

Chapter 6 of Kent Evans’ book The Manhood Journey is about serving others. Kent talks about three reasons we serve: Duty, Devotion, and Delight. While serving out of duty and devotion is good, we should strive to serve out of delight. We should take joy in using our gifts to serve others as God’s Word commands.

Scripture references: Matthew 20:28/Mark 10:45, 1 Peter 4:10, Galatians 5:13-14, John 13:14, Philippians 2:3-4

COUNT: 5
We managed to avoid the worst of the rain, and toured Gulf Park, Dutchtown, and CAK. A few hills were just an obstacle along the way.

The COT was centered around a passage from the Q Source.

“The order of the Get Right (1-Fitness, 2-Fellowship and 3-Faith) is prescriptive, not random. Although it might seem philosophically that Faith should come first and that Fellowship should precede Fitness, that just does not turn out to be true as a practical matter.”

You have to get right before you can do the other things.

Matthew 16:24 supports the above statement.

“24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”

Before we can “follow” Jesus, we are called to deny ourselves aka Get Right, then take up the cross, then follow him.

How are you going to Get Right?
