COT: Just. Be. Kind.
I know politics is off-limits, but I just had to address the elephant in the room. I am raw, and my heart is breaking as I bear witness to the vile behavior following last week’s election results. Tribalism and mean-spirited divisiveness is at an all-time-high. All around us, in every sphere of our lives. And it’s coming from BOTH “sides.” Please don’t contribute to this hatred and disunion. It is our job to bridge and heal gaps between each other, to facilitate understanding and love. We are all brothers and sisters created by the same God. The same Spirit animates our Souls. The affairs of governments do not supersede this truth. I know we all make mistakes on this front. I certainly have. But the key is to learn from these mistakes, to make amends, and to commit to a path of reconciliation, unconditional dialogue, and intentional relationship.

For the Stats

FNGs: None
COUNT: 22
Stuff was done. See post by Crawdad above :point_up_2: because apparently Crawdad has not learned how to do a formal backblast in slack. First half by me, and the second have by Crawdad, who delivered two messages in the COT:

1. You can’t change your life without changing something that you do everyday.
2. If you come out and enjoy the BSIA, then you should be Qing 1-2 times per year, at a minimum.

Convergence next week, or, as Crawdad called it, a “Brovergence.” Crawdad will be there as a “Brovirgin.” I will not be there because my kids have a swim meet. Enjoy and don’t get hurt. It should help that the sun will be up at 7:00 since it is after the time change.

COT: Buddy Bench – A buddy bench, also known as a friendship bench, is a seat on a school playground where students can go to find a friend or someone to talk to. The benches are designed to help students who feel lonely or left out. Our Buddy bench is F3. F3 helps us to have a brother with no judging. Just to help and be a big brother for us.

Thank you for the Opportunity.
