COT: Discussed the Word and Prayer portions of the Q. JOHN PRINE says about one of his best songs Angel of Montgomery): ‘The opening lyric is “I am an old woman, named after my mother…” I was very nervous about singing this in public for the first time. Because I thought that it would come across as too detailed, too amateurish. And I thought there must be a reason for that. I must not be doing it the right way, whatever the right way is.’ Just like with songwriting, there really IS no right way to do a BOM. Just speak about something you have learned, something important to you, something that might help others. Not everyone will respond the same way but I can guarantee that pretty much every one of your brothers will get something out of your message. From Exodus 4: But Moses said to the LORD, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” 11 Then the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.”

QSource 3.12 – Courage: Setting Aside Fear To Turn Hardship Into Grace
f3nation.com/q/courage/

Here are some of the things that stuck out to me from this week’s QSource content:
– To give over completely to one’s instinct to avoid danger, regardless of the consequences, is the opposite of courage.
– Courage begins with the recognition that while peace should always be our goal, there are some threats that confront the Community that simply must be fought.
– (talking about the Jester) He is a master corrupter, who hollows out a man’s vitality from the inside, leaving him too exhausted to overcome hardship.
– The virtuous leader intentionally exposes himself to expected hardships in order to build the durability he will need to overcome the unexpected hardships that await him so that he can turn them into grace.
