We took a lap while waiting for Eliza. We then did the CAK loop in reverse. We talked about this passage below in the COT.

Here is an excerpt from the Q Source.
While I write from the Christian perspective (because that is what I have come to believe), it is not my intent here to proselytize. The QSource does not prescribe any particular religion, but rather that a man must have some kind of belief system to Accelerate his Faith. By Belief System, we mean the conviction that there is a supernatural governing force outside of oneself that provides an ordered explanation for our existence and delivers consequences for the violation of that order.
In support of that contention, let’s recall a few core concepts of the QSource. A Leader is a person who is able to influence other people to Move to Advantage. Movement is action taken to further Purpose, and Advantage is a superior circumstance achieved by that Movement. Leaders are Disruptive in that they cause a disturbance to a Group’s Status Quo by first visualizing an Advantage and then articulating it to the Group’s Members so persuasively that they begin to Move toward it.

What did you accomplish in 2024? What were the challenges and triumphs? Thank God for the Grace and Mercy he showed us in 2024, and we look forward to what he has in store for us in 2025. Will you be an active participant, or will you just be floating through? I don’t think it is cliché to set goals for the new year. It is a natural reset. What does this new year look like? What do you think God has in store for you? What areas of leadership will you step into?

Numbers 6: 24-26
“‘“The Lord bless you
and keep you;

the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;

the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”’

COT:
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬
