Prov4:7-Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom! 

“Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets.”

This has certainly been my experience–my previous plan for fitness, that centered around the treadmill in my basement and lacked any real accountability or fellowship was perfectly designed to produce a lazy, soft version of me.

When it comes to getting wisdom, I think that quote still applies: I believe there’s only one place that wisdom comes from—God—and if I don’t have as much as I’d like, I need a deeper connection with that source, but I can’t just will or wish it into being any more than I could will or wish myself into better fitness: I have to make a change. So whatever you’re seeking, whatever you’re striving for; and maybe it’s wisdom or maybe it’s connection with someone close to you or maybe it’s your nutrition or parenting or finances: whatever results your getting now, the system you have in place is going to keep producing those results. So I’m asking myself: Where in my life do I want to see different results? That’s where I need to consider a change. You can ask the same question.

MOLESKIN: Great work by the PAX. Loved the mumble chatter and appreciated the patience for a surprise Q.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Summer is ending and school is beginning.

This time of year always makes me sad and reflective.

This year is obviously different.

I’m actually glad to see school returning, and I think my kids are too, but they won’t fully admit it.

It will be different, and it won’t be easy.

But there is hope that we are a bit closer to better days.

And we should not let what we are going through defeat us.

Any one heard of Vikto Emil Frankl?

I read about him this week.  Apparently, he was a famous neurologist, psychiatrist, and author of about 40 books.  He died at 92.

He survived Nazi concentration camps, even though his first wife, mother, father, and brother did not.

Here is what he wrote about the importance of attitude: “Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way.”

Proverbs 17:22 – “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

This is from the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: 

“By rights we shouldn’t even be here.  But we are.  It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo.  The ones that really mattered.  Full of darkness and danger, they were.  And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end.  Because how could the end be happy?  How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?  But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.  Even darkness must pass.  A new day will come.  And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”

Ecclesiastes 1:9 – “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”

Face change and challenge with a positive attitude and faith in God and his plan for your life.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Lillydipper’s wife, Doubtfire and his family, Stripped’s wife, Ribbed’s wife, everyone who could not join us for the workout today for whatever reason, and the kids and the new school year.
