COT: Sometimes you are solving for the wrong problem. When you do, you don’t solve the problem. If your problem is not getting better, bring in another person to see if you are solving the right problem. When you have identified the right problem, you can apply the right treatment to fix the problem.

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:45-‬46 ESV

Sometimes the most important things are hidden behind what we think isn’t important or maybe even good. Come and see… and bring a friend along.

COT: The US Civil War still interests many, despite the passage of more than 150 years. Some of this is the scope of the conflict and the personalities of those involved. But it also has to do with the way the conflict formed our current nation. From deep divisions, a united nation emerged. As you go through this week, seek common ground with those with whom you disagree. Conflict brings ruin. Try to build consensus in its place.

COT: QIC reflected on today’s national holiday and the importance of honoring those who founded this great nation, those who fight for it and those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. The founding fathers had a vision for change. This same vision transcended generations when a group of men decided to start F3. Thank you to those founding fathers and our own Major Payne for bringing this community of leaders to our region. Happy birthday, America.
