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.

Don’t be afraid to pray for the things you desire. It may not come to fruition, but you should take it to prayer just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:36-46

A walk in the park

Simple out and back ruck with 12 of us.
Tailhook had a solo workout going
Skidmark was doing IPC Week 2 on his own
Runners knocking out a 10k were Erector, Shrubbery, Nadia, Anchorman, & Honeydo

The COT was short and sweet. A verse from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. (NIV) Or translated another way, Happy are people who are humble, because they will inherit the earth. (CEB)

All that to say, this is a behavior of Jesus, and modeling his role should be a goal for all of us.

COT:
I have a couple of questions to consider for the word today. Is it necessary to go to church to be a Christian? Should we show up each time the doors are open for a service at the building? Questions like these are often asked probably with an excuse in mind or a judgemental thought towards someone else. I once heard in a sermon that this question about attending worship services is the “wrong question”. The question should instead be something like “why don’t you want to be there?” It is about our attitude and where our heart is when deciding whether or not to go. The Bible teaches that we should assemble together to encourage each other and stimulate one another to love and good deeds (Heb. 10:19-25). We should want to assemble because Jesus died for us. He broke down the barrier that separated us from God. Worship is commanded, but God doesn’t need our worship. We need to worship! Desire to be there!

MARY: Dealers Choice
COT: The rod and reproof give wisdom,
but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
Proverbs 29:13
There is power in saying ‘No’, from experience I can tell you kids need to be told no.
But here is the thing. We need to be told no too.
The way Jesus speaks of this is to fast – he said his disciples will fast when he is gone.
We can increase our patience and our ability to wait well when we tell our stomachs no. Then other desires are not in control of us either.
So consider that Proverb again, realizing we are the child and we need correction.
Where are you getting correction from and are you willing to receive it?
