CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Respect – a sense of admiration or honor given to one of strength. When one turns 50 the PAX honor the man by saying respect after his nickname in the Name-orama. Respect is offered but simply turning 50 years old does not mean the man is worthy of respect. True respect is earned through a life of honor, of service, of sacrifice. In the Bible the word Phobo is translated: respect. It means the respectful person honors the one who is deserving. Phobo also means to fear or to revere. When one encounters another with great strength, they are to be honored, even feared.
Plato said that the measure of a man is what he does with his power. There is great temptation in us to use our power for our own gain. The Christian man is called to give his power away, like his savior did. Jesus Christ was the most powerful man in all of history and laid his life down for others. The man worthy of true respect will give his power away to serve the weak, to serve his M, his children, his community, his nation in order to live in honor of the one who has given him this power. Respect!
MOLESKIN:
Thankfully this workout was really hard so shirts and additional clothing weren’t necessary despite the freezing temperatures. T-CLAPS to Laettner, TombRaider and Big Top for conspiring with my M to arrange a bounteous breakfast feast following the workout. “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” Proverbs 31:10
