Reflection: Romans 14:13
"Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother."
** So common to hear judgment on someone's past or current failings. #socialmediaFAIL That's not our role in the world.
** If we are to share Christ's love with those around us, we need to check our attitude and how we interact with others.
** Be uncommon, do not pass judgment. Even more, be aware of your beloved brothers failings, and be intentional about not contributing to temptations or placing stumbling blocks in a brother's path to know redemption and salvation and peace.
Moleskine:
*** mixed throughout the workout
*** apologies for the late backblast. Crashed for 2-hrs immediately after showering; I was done. Then moved the M into her new school Sat. Then moved 2.2 into his new apartment/UNCC Sun. Been a nutty week.
*** not too late to join the clown car(s) visiting MetroDog's new AO Launch on Sat 8/22. Contact Hefty or me for more deets.
*** Murph on Aug 31st
*** Sept 7th – Labor Day – doing a Triathlon thing. Keep an eye out for Preblast.
Such an honor to lead guys – super impressed with your tenacity to keep pushing
