COT:
Lonestar shared this definition of “rich” with us last week: if you can replace it before you need to, you’re rich.

If we are this kind of rich, then we need to remember these words:

As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. 1 Timothy 6:17‭-‬19 ESV

I am thankful and encouraged by seeing and talking with each one of you here tonight. Continue this work!

CoT: YHC shared a story told by XL at the Grunt Saturday about two of his friends being killed in Iraq. The first one, when he heard about it, convinced him that none of them were going to get out of there alive, since he was such an awesome soldier, as he had trained XL. This illustrated for YHC how some of the best men and women gave the ultimate sacrifice in America’s conflicts, and yet society has kept moving one. It is up to us to make the most of their sacrifice and try to make up for the gap they left in society by doing good.
