COT:
Nothing profound today but I was thinking about what Slappy said on Wednesday. What does it mean to be a friend?

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭24‬-‭25‬

Notice the action words here. Just like Emerson’s quote…”BE a friend”.
There’s stir up, love, good works, meet together, encourage. These are all intentional things. We are called to honor and glorify God. The same God that loved us when we were unloving, while we were sinners.

The challenge: What’s one action thing you can do this week for someone else? It could be a relative, a coworker, a distant friend. Write their names down. Pray for them. Send a text or a card. Meet with them. Let them know you are there and thinking about them.

DORA DORA DORA!

COT:
I challenge myself and everyone else in our group to stop taking potential F3 friendships for granted. I’ve known some of you guys for a long time and yet I don’t really know who some of you are. It starts with (me) or yourself to decide if you’re gonna be part of a friend group that meets up to work out in the mornings to face a challenge together and grow. Move out of the shallow and swim to the deep.

“The only way to have a friend is to be one” Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

hard skills

Not merely a difficult task. Rather, things that should be running at full speed at all times without thinking. Things that are hard-wired into our routine, into our lives. Hard skills are repped and repeated so many times that they should run in the background flawlessly. These skills are what we must find to be top performers in our lives. A few hard skills that we can focus on are:
– good attitude at all times
– being a good family leader
– pursuit of faith
