WARMUP: Climb up Burnett Ridge Road to the entrance to Far East

THE THANG: Tackled Far East taking a quick detour up and down Lemon Drop where the Q forgot to turn left and lost the PAX. Back on Far East to another detour onto Mayor’s Hot Tub. Back on to Far East taking the new reroute to Trans Farm. It was then Biker’s Choice on Creek Loop to MCR to Bridges Descent to play a little AC/DC. Back on Chain Ring where the Q (me) made the unfortunate find of a piece of what looked like 100 year old barb wire which proceeded to punch three separate holes in said Q’s rear tire! The Pax commenced a group of four to repair the the tire but the FNG was the only who could see good enough to actually repair each hole in the tire in the fading light with bacon strips. Thus, we love him and want to squeeze him and name him Bacon Strip. Once BaconStrip worked his magic the Q was able to ride out down Lost Chromosome back to the parking lot.

COT:
“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Two years ago, Lazy Boy and I started a company with a few friends. We make smoked cherries, smoked cherry syrup and a redonk smoked cherry reduction. They’re delicious and totally transform food, drinks and desserts.

We are praying that the Lord will use this company to transform the lives of some folks here in East TN as well. The vision includes employing folks that are difficult to employ, paying people well that normally can’t make much money. Lord willing, eventually we will build a manufacturing facility in one of our under-educated and under-employed sister counties and committing to better the lives of generations of employees.

It’s a big dream. We like money, but we love the Lord and are trying to run our company as if it is His company.

What part of your life should you be living less for yourself and more to the Lord?

Mosey back to COT

COT:
I’m terrible at listening. It’s not intentional, but I truly struggle being completely present when someone else is talking. I have to almost give an F3 disclaimer when having a conversation with someone (“if I miss something you say…”) and I have to be very intentional to focus on others.

I went into banking a few years ago and that’s not the best place to be if you’re not a good listener. People are telling you very personal and sensitive details about their lives. I was only there a couple of years and I learned a lot but today’s culture calls so many to anything but listening. Not only to listen but knowing when to be silent. Does anyone listen anymore?

God has a lot to say about this;

“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;”
‭‭-James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬ ‭ESV

“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.

A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul. If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.”
‭‭- Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭2‬, ‭6‬-‭7‬, ‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

My challenge today is Who can we invite for coffee, lunch, a beer, and just listen? Make it all about them and see what kind of response you get. It’ll make their day and you’ll shine some much needed light.
