COT: 22 years ago, to the day, my life changed for the better when a friend introduced me to a magical place they call the Jersey Shore. For $750 I slept on a mattress, on the floor, with 17 other roommates and a ceiling held together with TWA packing tape. It was the greatest summer of my life and happened to be the weekend I met the woman I’d spend the rest of my life with. The moral of the story: If a friend tells you to give them $750, just do it. It will probably be awesome and life changing.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Murph on Monday
COT:

The importance of being connected to “why”we’re doing what we’re doing and “who” we’re doing it with…

living in purpose through what God calls us to be…when we let the Lord work through and in us life is more fulfilling and less of what we want but how God guides and directs us.

2 Phillipians 2:13
“for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”

The Who:

The importance of being in community with great men of character who are pursuing God ..

Yvon Choinard, the founder of Patagonia once said “ how do you climb the mountain is more important than reaching the top.”

Let’s not worry about the summit, but more importantly, what are we learning and how are we growing as we pursue new heights and who are we bringing along with us… who are we supporting on the climb around us?
