ANNOUNCEMENTS: YHC was struggling with lack of sleep, PAX pushed, and we all loved our work together

COT: YHC spoke from the heart without a script or plan. This past weekend we recognize 20 years ago our lives changed. As I watched the many videos seeking a way to talk to my kids about those tragic events that day, I wept. I also found stories of valor, stories of love, stories that made me proud to be an American where I am free (que Lee Greenwood). May we never forget that day, but also may we never forget to show empathy for those that are hurting, find joy and blessings in the life God has given us, and always seeking to let Him lead us to Live Right, Love Right, and Lead Right. Aye!

Announcements: Our second Adopt-a-Road Clean-up is coming! We’re looking at potential dates to hold it, notionally planning on Saturday, September 25th, at 7:30am. LMK if you will be out of town that day or unable to support.

CoT: YHC shared some thoughts and experiences with leveraging the power of role models in confronting life’s choices and challenges. It is difficult to consistently stay on the harder path of meaning rather than the cheap and easy way. Asking ourselves what our role model would do when we are confronted with such choices brings power. Establish your own role model. Live your life as if your role model were watching you always.
Be a role model. Your children will learn more from who you are than from what you say. Try to demonstrate proper behavior more consistently to those in our stewardship. Strive to be worthy of emulation.
We all have an ultimate role model in the form of Jesus Christ, whom we can use at any time and in most situations. “What would Jesus do?” Brings power. Leverage Him if all else fails.
