COT:

And you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored.

Daniel 5:22-23 ESV‬ – https://bible.com/bible/59/dan.5.22-23.ESV

Belshazzar was the son of a powerful, commanding king. Belshazzar drank his way through his life, partying the days away. He didn’t build, he consumed. For us today, we should ask ourselves: What am I building? Will kind of legacy will I leave behind? What do I do with what I’ve been given?

Check out the book The Intentional Father.

Next Wednesday, Apollo is celebrating our final post! Let’s have a party. Need a crowd.

COT: If a Task can be performed by one man, than there is no reason to form a Team. But when it is too complicated or difficult for a single person acting alone, then people must combine to see it through. And as soon as they do–BOOM–a Team is formed, whether they realize it or not, for a Team is nothing more than a Proximate combination of two or more people formed to perform a specific Mission for the benefit of a Community, an Organization or both.
