COT:
Balanced Man: we as men, fathers, husbands, and leaders are all pulled on for each role everyday. Some men have let go of the pull for whatever reason. Maybe they were taught to let go when the pull was to hard, maybe they are holding on but it’s just dragging them away from everything else, maybe one thing is easier so they let go of the others to hold on to the one thing with both hands. That one thing is safe and comfortable.
What does it look like to be fully balanced?
How do we help balance those we are tethered to?
How do we show others how to be balanced?

COT:
Reminder to all men to not get jaded and feel like we’ve seen it all and done it all. Encouraged to try to see wonder in everyday things and try something new. My Son convinced me to drive him to Peach Tree City, GA to see an airshow where the F-22 Raptor Demo Team was performing. I really did not want to go, but I wanted to give my Son the experience he wanted. It was an astounding demonstration of the capabilities of that aircraft. It reminded me of my love of aviation and planes fueled by adolescent memories of Top Gun, Iron Eagle, Firebirds, and other stupid movies that haven’t aged well. Be positive Guys and remember your Kids still have things to learn from you.
