@orthodox_33ad A beautiful city!

I understand now more why our Lord often retreats up a mountain to pray. When you are a leader - your men want to be around you and talk with you. To talk to God, sometimes you have to use gravity to separate yourself.

It’s good to be as useful to others as you can as a man. This week we put together a volunteer operation to assist with the flood response. It was heartening and telling that the men who answered that call were of strong character, body, and competency. Very glad to work with them!

If you had complete geographic mobility - where would you live and why?

@WWNHost Having dogs for reasons other than productive labor has in fact led to social problems in the west.

There is nothing that brings me more joy and lights my mind and being alight than to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and explain the Orthodox Faith.

I like the South, and whatever we consider Arkansas. What a charming state!

@DudespostingWs Runs a PMC.

Lord have mercy.

@s_hub24160 Go to your local Orthodox Church and attend Divine Liturgy. Introduce yourself to the priest afterwards and say that you’re interested.

At Camp Roger’s in Ranger School they told you that you needed to run everywhere. I think some folks saw that as a punishment or stressor. Now that I own @KDT_Security it’s a privilege and my prerogative to run. It creates a sense of urgency and it’s simply enjoyable.

I’ve never seen a lion lift weights, but I’ve seen them sprint and stretch. You’re not a lion though and should probably do all three.

When you’re winning you expect yourself to win. You act as a winner. You approach tasks with the care and confidence of a man who will win. Others sense this and invest in your success. They expect it. They respond to you as a winner.

Chess has many metaphors for life. Many lessons. The one I contemplate today is the importance of reversing a losing streak. Success begets success. Failure begets failure. I don’t mean this in a magical way. But I observe it. I suspect it is mainly because of how repeated defeat or victory changes our perception and the perceptions of those around us.

Over time I’ve come to appreciate vehicles more. Fast cars, powerful trucks. The beauty and might of their motion. They work. They help you to move.

[McCalla @mpmccalla]

Ruthless, dispassionate efficiency. Like a machine. I love that state of action.

@WWNHost I think American missionaries will beat them there. But glad to see all of Noah’s descendants turn to Christ.
