Ships float flawlessly when the water stays out. Once the water gets in they begin to fail. Don’t get wrapped up in the outside noise and your choice of entertainment. Those things can be impure and lead you to personal failure.

MOLESKINE: word of encouragement was that “Leaders run towards smoke” there isn’t always an obvious fire, but don’t turn your back on the metaphorical smoke in your world. Go stand in the gap, run towards conflict, and address issues before they burn things down.

COT:
Praises for M awards, movement on home selling.
Prayers for thoughtful leadership in the US and an end to the shutdown

MISC THOUGHTS:
– Playlist creation led to new music discoveries – a song called “Nashville Cats?” Perfection. ABBA has a tiger song . . . who knew?
– The food playlist for World Food Day was pretty good too – may have to dust that off in the future
– For a brief minute, Q almost decided to just play T Swift’s new album in full – Vector ain’t a hater and it’s got some bangers (even if one might be about a certain football player’s, ahem, :eggplant:).
