Solid advice Scoot! Thanks for the permission to pause. This is something I need to get better at doing daily. I have a tendency to go until I simply can’t anymore.
Everyone needs a reminder every now and again. In a civil war history i read, Stonewall Jackson would make his men march 50 minutes of every hour and rest for 10. He claimed that he got more out of his men in that 50 minutes than other generals got out of a non-stop hour. His command came to be known as “Jackson’s Foot Cavalry” for their ability to cover huge distances!
That anecdote has stuck with me, and while i dont implement it well, it definitely proves that good hard work with good honest rest gets you more bang for your buck in any endeavor!
My resting state is... resting. But, as Mr. Newton says, an object stays at rest until it is compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. That external force is my family and I am frequently compelled 😃.
Hello. I am a consummate lurker, a reader. Thank you for your work. I'm a husband and father of 6, my youngest just turned 1... Our family moved back on to the family farm to help take care of my mom and special needs brother... During the last 2 weeks I have been having really severe back spasms and pain. It's pretty much put me on my back. Really struggling with accepting God's will,. Please pray for me that I can accept this pain as a gift from Christ.
Jim, I am praying for you! Youve taken on a heavy load--but remember the Lord will not be outdone in generosity. Prayers for your health, your family, your mother, and your farm! Thank you for reading and for sharing your prayer request 🙏
Administrivia: I hadn't heard that word before and I like it!
I frankly don’t know if it’s a real word or not but it just works! Thanks for reading Michael!!

Such a good reminder as I go into a very busy 2 weeks. Thank you!!
Thank you for reading, and good luck! 🙏
"Hambone is more of an idea man," is this code for lazy? How dare you!?
My word for the year is "exhale," so thank you for the reminder to breathe in and breathe out.
If you could pray for yours truly to have a deeper conversion, I would appreciate it. I'll keep you and the lazy one in my prayers as well.
I'm kidding, Hambone is not lazy, he just has four kids. I know how it is.
Lol he’s not lazy by any means but he thinks better than I do and I do more impulsively than he thinks!
Ill be praying for you, friend!

Same, dude. Same.
Awesome word, Scoot. Been running a bit myself with the perennial to do list. Encouraging, thank you!
