CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We typically start our F3 workout with the word “voliltion.”  What got me thinking about this was a photo I saw a few years ago.  It was a picture of the football field with Army and Navy playing.  The caption said something about it being the only game where every player on the field was willing to die for me and my freedom.  I also thought of my son-in-law, Travis.  During one of his 8 tours of duty he received the Bronze Star for Valor because he chose to live by the Ranger creed to leave no man behind, put himself in harms way, neutralized the situation, and dragged his wounded teammate to safety.  Sua Sponte is the Ranger motto – of our own accord or volition.

If you saw Saving Private Ryan, you may remember when a dying Captain John Miller (a Ranger) tells Private Ryan to “earn this.”  This disappointed many Army Rangers because they believe that a Ranger would not say something like that.  Rangers don’t expect their service to be “earned”, their service is their own volition.  Sua Sponte!

This is Christ like action. He chose to obey his Father on His own volition.  Yes, in His prayer in the garden, He did ask if there was some other way to accomplish His mission but he always came back to say that He would do the will of His Father.  Jesus didn’t ask us to earn it.  He did it by choice so that our sins would be forgiven, we would be declared justified in God’s eyes, and redemption could be ours.  We don’t have to earn it.  We only need to repent, profess Christ, obey, and follow.  Not easy, but at least we know the way to everlasting joy and peace.

Comparison is the thief of Joy:

If you watch HGTV too long, you’ll become dissatisfied with your home. If you stay on social media too long, you’ll become dissatisfied with your life. If you watch the news to long you’ll become dissatisfied with the world. Unplug, Pray. Read a book. Spend time with loved ones. Our minds are easily influenced, but you get to choose the influence!

If you want the life you want, it will cost you the life you have.

Proverbs 13:19- A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.

New Living Translation- It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.

All change starts with telling the truth about how things are now. Observe your habits- what do you tell yourself, where are you or what are you doing when you mess up your goals. You live on brain patterns. We don’t know that we’re checked out until we check back in. It’s amazing what change you can drive when you do check in.

“You step in 0% of the dog poop that you see.”

  • Practice is a process, not a destination. Did you know self guided missles miss there target 90% of the time? They have an algorithmic called course correction.
  • Who do you want to be on November 20th? Set goals for your work, biological, and family self. Identify one goal for each that you can do this week
