#Mizzou HC Dennis Gates says he watched Dajuan Harris' press conference over and over again this week: "He said he wanted to see what Mizzou Arena looked like. Well, he did."

The closing verse of Job is this: “And Job died, an old man, and full of days.” But if had God given Job what he wanted, that never would have happened.
Job had wanted to die. To die soon. To die immediately. He wondered, “Why did I not die at birth?” (3:11). He would have chosen “strangling and death” over the misery in which he found himself (7:15).
But what Job did not know, but God did, is that this dark night of the soul would eventually end with the rays of hope peeking over the horizon.
I have wanted to die many times in my life. To end shame. To end grief. When you are submerged in the dark waters of despair, the oxygen of hope is hard to find.
But as God did for Job, as he did for me, as he has done for so many of us, he did not give us what we wanted; he gave us what he wanted for us.
What our Father wants for us is to believe that no matter how black the current darkness, “the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Rom. 8:18). Or as Teresa of Avila is credited with saying, “From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.”
For most of us, too, already in this life, after a season of turmoil and loss, our longing for death lessens and finally dissipates. Maybe we don’t laugh as much as we used to, but we learn that tears and smiles can coexist.
A heart full of fractures need not lead to a life choked with despair.
We learn that God is good. No matter what. We who are, as Job says, but “dust and ashes” (42:6; 30:19), are nonetheless his beloved children.
The greatest enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest, but the myth persistent, peruasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
—President John F. Kennedy
3 Truths About Leadership:
1. Leadership isn’t about gaining power. It’s about empowering others.
2. Great leaders succeed because they bring out the greatness in others.
3. You don’t have to be great to serve but you have to serve to be a great leader.
This is a partial answer to the question “who’s gonna replace all the veterans?” from this past season’s Mizzou MBB squad.

TREAT PEOPLE RIGHT.
Be intentional with others. Treat them as you want to be treated. Encourage them. Make them feel like they matter (because they do). Do this with people you know and with people you don't. Try your best every day to make someone else's day.
“In Jesus’ name, Amen”
This might be the best thing you’ll see today. Jeremiah is an absolute stud. Watch this interview and look out for a powerful prayer at the end with @derekcarrqb. @LorraineGolden_
