COT:
“3 Strikes And You’re Not Out. There is always one more thing you can do.” – Col. Hal Moore
– From his book On Leadership, and the movie We Were Soldiers
– A lot of times, it can feel very much like “3 strikes and your out.” Maybe it’s “that mistake” or thing that keeps happening, or shortcomings or missed expectations. So what are we to do when we feel like we’ve struck out 3x?
– Take a look at what Jesus says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 — ““But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
– Maybe the “there’s always one more thing you can do” when you feel like you’ve struck out is turn to Christ – who knows and sees you and your weaknesses – and chooses to love you still. The beauty of this is that it’s not on you to do one more thing, it’s about the love Christ has for you and how much he wants you to come to Him when you feel like you’ve stuck out. Walk in His grace, truth, mercy, and love brothers!

YHC caught some grief since the stadium lights were not turned on, a gate was locked, and the track did not have stripes. Even though these difficulties were overcome, any further complaints should be directed in writing to Knox Co Schools.

COT:
Proverbs 16:1-3 are my theme verses for The Quacken this year.

The LORD knows my motivation and how I can either be on the campaign trail to get guys to come to the Quacken and not really care about them and be more concerned with my own agenda OR I can be discouraged and think this is not worth doing, too hard, etc.

Scripture is a way to correct both of these harmful ways of thinking. It says to me “Continue to work hard! Remember that it is not all about you!”

Prov 16:3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.

Put in the work
