While getting ready to head to church this morning I got a call asking if I wanted to help do a “field service” for the Soldiers doing EIB (Expert Infantryman Badge) training!!! . “YES!” Every time... “YES!” . Being around these Soldiers FIRES ME UP! I love what I get to do and with whom I get to serve! #chaplain #army #strike #wevegotitaaronandian

Looking forward to some cool stuff in 2020!!!! . #repost @firsthalfparenting ・・・ Merry Christmas from the @firsthalfparenting gang! #firsthalfparenting

Every morning I get an email from @zevenesh (It’s a group email... but still...). . Along with my cup of coffee it’s my daily kick in the pants. Zack’s not a “beat around the bush” kind of guy. He says what is true in as few words as possible... and that’s one of the reasons I really dig him. . This picture and this note was in his email today. I totally agree with him. . I have started calling tough days and demanding seasons “LEG DAY FOR THE SOUL.” It’s hard days and demanding seasons that make us STRONG! . You will NEVER be BETTER or STRONGER if you keep avoiding the hard stuff! So get after it! . When the hard days and demanding seasons come along... PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN, YOUR CHEST UP, GRIT YOUR TEETH, SAY A PRAYER, AND GET AFTER IT!!! . In the words of St. Paul, “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” (‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭16:13-14‬ ‭ESV‬‬) . Don’t skip the hard stuff! . Thanks Zach and Paul #unlikelycombo #strongheartstrongback

“UNCRITICAL SATISFACTION.” . If you’re content with your life and never/rarely evaluate it... you are by definition COMPLACENT. . The unevaluated, unexamined life may be fun for a little while but will ALWAYS produce disappointment. . Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” The complacent man DISAGREES and continues to live the unexamined life. Someday he will have an awakening. Hopefully it’s not too late. . Far the best results, take time to examine your life! . Not sure where to start? Here are seven categories by which I evaluate in my life: - spiritual - physical - emotional - intellectual - financial - professional - relational . What’s your plan for self-evaluation... or are you complacently living the unexamined life?! . Let’s get after it friends!!! Let’s live a fully examined and high return life!!!!

I had to “rewind” and listen to this a couple of times before I understood what he was saying... . As you get BETTER you will find that your responsibilities are increased, expectations are raised, and demands of your time multiplied. If you are not getting better it won’t be long until responsibilities, expectations, and demands DECREASE. The reason they will decrease is because you will have proved INCAPABLE in your new role. . If you’re not getting better as you get better you won’t be in a better place for long! . Get BETTER as you get BETTER! #gtd ##podcastsinthemorning #learning

Going back “home” for Thanksgiving and everybody wants to see friends! . Trying to manage EIGHT people’s schedule requires an Excel spreadsheet!!! #dadskills #firsthalfparenting #dadlife #tryingtoseeeveryone #crushingscheduleswithexcel
