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.

COT:
-The enemy wants us to live our life on the sidelines where we have no impact in the game. One of his favorite strategies is apathy. We drift from one thing to the next as if our involvement has no value or consequence and as a result our involvement has no positive value or consequence. So start with choices. Make all your decisions count. If you don’t choose, it will be chosen for you.

COT: Don’t be afraid to own up to your weaknesses. One of mine is prayer. I have been pondering Job this week, and how even in his anger, he was prayerful and God was pleased with him because he prayed. I know that my prayer life can improve, and that I need to be willing to “talk” to God more. Where are your weaknesses, where can you improve? Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable with this group and seek improvement. Also, when addressing a weakness, start by looking in the mirror, don’t start by blaming others.
