CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’m coming up on my one year wedding anniversary. I have been divorced at a young age so i have really leaned into my marriage and am trying to be a better husband every day. Looked into the Q Source for some wisdom on marriage. Couple of great quotes:

The Key to the meaning of life ” Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love” King Solomon

There is no 50 yrd line in your marriage, meeting your M halfway is not good enough. A HIM must drive the ball the full length of the field, regardless if your M ever breaks the huddle.

The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does matters.
MOLESKIN:

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Bob Feller played for the Cleveland Indians (aka Cleveland Guardians).  He bypassed the minors and first pitched in the majors at the ripe age of 17.  During his career he threw three no-hitters and 12 one-hitters. He is the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter on opening day, April 16, 1940.  After his 4th season, Bob was returning to Cleveland from a visit with his terminally ill father to sign what was to be a multi-year, high dollar contract but the day was December 7, 1941.  The next day, rather than signing with the Indians, he signed with the United States Navy and spent the next four years on the USS Alabama.  He chose country over self.

Feller resumed his baseball career with the Indians in 1946 and threw his second no-hitter.  He was a significant factor in the World Series win in 1948 and the American League pennant in 1954.  By the time he retired in 1956 he led the American League in win six times and strikeouts seven times.  He was an eight-time All-Star.

When asked by a reporter toward the end of his career what his most memorable win was, Bob quickly replied, “World War II.”  Again, country over self.

There are still a lot of athletes out there that put their job in proper perspective.  Unfortunately, there are many that don’t.  You may have witnessed both types in the Olympics during the past two weeks.  We have probably all heard the hierarchy of God, others, self.  I think we would all to well to insert “country” in the third spot and move ourselves one notch down the line.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The code of chivalry is good, but looking back and wishing things were like they were is unwise (Eccelsiastes 7:10-14). Sometimes, when things are crazy, it’s tempting to simplify and vilify. But the truth is we don’t know it all because that’s not our place. It’s God’s place. So it’s our job to seize the day, good or bad, and do the right thing as best we’re able. Just let go of the rest and leave it with God.
