COT:
Decide to be good. Always give your best.
When we see successful athletes or people we often assume they are naturally gifted. This is often not true. @Pebbles shared his personal journey from back of the pack JV cross-country runner to relatively successful D1 athlete. The “secret” to success was simply deciding he wanted to be better, then putting in the hard work to get there. As men we can apply this to our daily family and work duties.

COT:
Hope is the most painful of virtues. It’s a desire for some good not yet attained. We can get too lost in the bad going on around us, but if we ever want our hope to be realized, we have to be the change. To leave a better world for our children, we must be better ourselves and raise good children. Raise them to love well, to fight hard, and surpass us in virtue.

Prayers for @squints as he moves next Monday.
