COT:
We lined up according to age 2 by being told to. We then on the 3rd time didn’t. So we had to pay the tax and line up. The 4,5 time we lined up. We are told that in life you must do this or that and you need to stay in your lane. And in some instances that may be applicable, but in life, if you want to do something or be somebody do it. If you want to accomplish something, do it. Do not let anyone tell you that you can not do it.

COT:
The Way of The Warrior. In a world where there is so clearly a lack of peace we are called to rest and put our hope in the Lord who is the only way we will ever obtain true peace. We cannot control the environment around us, but with the Lord’s help we can control how we respond and the choices we make. Peace is intimately connected to hope. Through the hope we have in Christ we are able to truly find rest. A reminder is that in our many struggles and battles, we have the Lord on our side who can calm the sea yet also provide for the birds. Therefore, we can have the confidence that he is always in control and will provide the peace that we long for and that is needed to navigate our battles.

[virtuous-leadership-school] Do some Daily Pills look Red, but aren’t?

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
Q: Borg
PAX: Spinner, Otis, Mermaid, Spellcheck
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
WARMUP: Coffee, talk and opening prayer.

THE THANG:
– Be aware of Daily Pills that look red, but aren’t. You need trusted men around to tell you when your daily decision to do something is off mission. Maybe it looks red to you, but it may be the Daily Black Pill (DBP) – trying to stay active enough to avoid worries, despair and even depression. The DBP house crumbles, eventually.
– Habits eliminate many decisions and the practice of discretion in executing those habits – but can be good or bad. Is your DRP developing the right habits?
– Prov 25:28. Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks discretion.
– Does choice usually lead to the Blue Pill as the QSource says?
– Once you decide on a mission/goal, then a lot of choices are eliminated.
– Denying yourself is the first step in the process of becoming a virtuous leader.
– Is the lack of self discipline a slippery slope?
– Shame – How do you talk to yourself?
– Do you choose the “phariseeic” principle over the person/relationship? Which is better?
– Bricklaying – Peter jumped right in. Paul spent many years, after his conversion, preparing.
– Do you have men who will tell you if you are laying the right bricks?

COT: Prayer.
