Proverbs 12:18

The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Had a friend over this past weekend and the husband said something incredibly insensitive and hurtful to his wife.  Apparently didn’t mean to say it, but once the words come out you cannot put them back.  As leaders / HIM we need to be very intentional about what we say and probably speak less and listen more.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Here is what ChatGPT4 has to say about Consistency. (not as good as what I said)

“Consistency refers to the quality of being uniform, stable, or constant in something over time. In various contexts, consistency can have different meanings:

  1. Behavior or habits: Consistency in behavior or habits means maintaining regular patterns, routines, or actions. For example, consistent exercise or consistent work performance demonstrate stability and reliability.
  2. Thoughts and beliefs: Consistency in thoughts and beliefs refers to having a coherent and logical set of ideas or values that do not frequently change or contradict each other.
  3. Quality or performance: Consistency in quality or performance means maintaining a specific standard or level of output over time, without significant fluctuations or variations. For instance, a product’s consistent quality ensures that customers receive the same experience every time they use it.

In general, consistency is often considered a desirable trait, as it demonstrates reliability, dependability, and predictability. It can build trust, enhance relationships, and contribute to personal and professional success.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:  Listening and Doing – James 1:19-27

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness[h] God desires. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

Excerpt from the foreword of “Man to Man, Dad to Dad: Catholic Faith and Fatherhood” by  Brian Caulfield:

I hear from many men who are quietly yet heroically living a life according to conscience, guided by natural law and the teaching of the Church. Even if they have not lived perfect lives, these men understand the dual meaning of the term “Fathers for Good.” First, once a man has a child, he is a father for good– there is no giving back the gift or commitment that comes with responsibilities. Second, every man, amid his own sin and weakness, deep down wanted to be a good father. He wants to offer something of lasting value to his child that only a father can give. He knows that despite many negative portrayals in popular media and culture, there is a great dignity in the role of father. 

Despite our best efforts, these are still difficult days for men and for fathers. Our identity and duties have been in flux for decades, and it is time for us to start building something new and better from the shifting sands of our culture. It’s time to build the next Greatest Generation. If you’re a man who has faith even the size of a mustard seed, there is a path for your marriage and your fatherhood that leads to the greatest satisfaction a person can have in this world– the grace and accomplishment of finding your vocation. True fatherhood is a call from God the Father.
