COT:
This was a very special day as we passed the shovel flag off to a new leader, Slappy! It is going to be extremely exciting to see what he does in the role and how Shamrock is going to thrive under his leadership.

We have all heard the quote, “Strong men create good time, good times creat weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men.” I head some commentary on this quote from Nick Freitas on this and says, “Bad times don’t create strong men, strong men are made by the influence of other strong men.” He goes on to talk about how strong men are there through good times and bad, but in the bad times, strong men are once again appreciated for what they contribute to society.
I instantly thought of F3 and the group of strong men that I have the privilege of working out beside every morning. All of you have made me a stronger man in all areas of my life and I am thankful for every one of you.

Pray. It seems too simple and easy to be effective, but it’s not and it is. Don’t let the apparent ease of taking a few minutes stop you from doing it at all. Don’t let a high standard keep you from something simple. Prayer is the one thing we can always lean on.

Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged…”
(Matthew 7:1-2, NIV)

Speak No Evil. Someone said: “There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, it doesn’t behoove any of us to speak evil of the rest of us.” Each of us is a mixture of good and evil. We each have a dark side and we each have a bright side. Certain situations can bring out the good or the bad in each of us. I have often said, “Where did that come from?” I don’t usually say that when I have done something heroically beautiful. Because of this mixture of the good and bad within us, we should be very careful about judging others. Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, had a sign on the wall of his dining room which read, “He who has an unkind word to say about another is not welcome at this table.” We all need a sign like that posted somewhere in our home or office.
