THE THANG: The Q wasn’t even sure he would make it out today, but made a rough idea of a plan last night in case no one took Q on Friday based on Iron Pax for the week. The 11s used were much more reasonable and didn’t involve harming bunnies.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Grunt on November 11. Need volunteers. Gratitude for 9-11 climb. Mourning for Investigator David.
COT: Moment of silence for 9/11 and Inspector David, followed by key point from a book I’m reading called Living LIfe Backwards on Ecclesiastes. The only certainty we have in life is death. Solomon tells us to learn from that. Live in a way and treat others with an eye to how you will be remembered at your funeral.

COT:

Hand everyone a piece of paper
Write down what you would remove from your life to be closer to god. Throw it in the trash.

“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭ 23-24 ‭NIV‬‬

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Looking for a Q and volunteers for leading The Grunt!

COT: Taking on more responsibility can often feel like a burden. It may seem like you are trapped and will have to work harder, and deal with more problems, and so on.

However, have you ever been on vacation and it seems like your entire family won’t stop bickering and you can’t even decide where you want to stop for dinner? How could that be, you have no responsibilities at all. Shouldn’t everything just be easy? Even if you are all on your own with no demands on your time, is life really that much smoother?

Clearly, this just isn’t how it works. It’s true that with more responsibly your decisions become impactful and you have the potential to have a greater influence on those around you. Therefore, it’s not that the other “problems” go away, it’s that your perspective has changed, you don’t have time to bicker so you don’t. You make a decision (right or wrong) and move on.

In general, this new responsibility could be a leadership role, but it could also be something self imposed liked wanting to buy a better car or move to a bigger house so your kids don’t have to tiptoe around so they don’t disturb the neighbors below. In other words, it means you have been given a new purpose.

I often struggle with purpose because it usually begins with finding something you really desire. But what if I’m happy with what I have? This is when it’s time to look outside yourself and ask, what is it that those around me need? How can I help them.

In the end find a need you want to solve, let that new responsibility be the driving force to overcome bigger challenges and in the end we’ll all be better because of it.
