gone hunting

Tonight, a handful of C3 hunters are heading to an undisclosed location deep in the woods to hopefully arrow some meat for our freezers. A bunch of guys in the woods and then hanging in a rustic cabin (with cable TV)....I can't wait. Wish us luck! I will be out of cell phone reception and internet. (they do have places like this)

correction

George Wood says, "You can tell how spiritually mature someone is by how they handle correction." This is such a true statement. It's funny how we can all think of others who this statement is true for, but what about us? How do we react when we are corrected by those in authority, or better yet, by those who are our peers?

Trust 2

"Can I trust you, to trust me?" Think on that for a while. I have some people in my life who could say YES. At C3, we all strive to give the other teammate the benefit of the doubt, in every situation. If something is said that could offend....they always get the benefit of the doubt. If someone comes with some negative comment or news about a teammate, they always get the benefit of the doubt until we can talk with them. It is awesome to have a team that trusts each others hearts.

trust

A while back one of my boys was caught in a lie and I took the moment to teach a lesson. I took a pile of building blocks and said that every time you tell the truth, you build your tower a little higher. I told them how it takes a long time to build your tower of trust, but day after day, you build it it higher and higher. BUT, it only takes 1 lie, and .........then I knocked down the tower! Both my boys were looking on with big eyes. I then said, now, guess where you have to start to REbuild your tower....at the bottom. It takes a long time to build up trust and only 1 lie to knock it all down

character/integrity

Dwight Moody said, "Character is who you are in the dark." - Who are we when no one is looking? What are the hidden motives of our hearts? What would we do, if we knew that we would never get caught? What is that one chink in our armor that could take us down if not guarded? Every day is a battle for our character and integrity..........are you winning?
- New Church update - drywall hopefully starts this week. I love it when a plan comes together!

Pickerington vs. Pickerington

Saturday night in the first level of HS playoff football games, Pickerington Central plays Pickerington North. The stadium, which is 100yds from C3, is having to bring in chairs to put on the track, to accommodate all the people. This will be a first for Pickerington. We will be parking cars on our lot and giving each car a $1.00 bill. We are expecting at least 250 cars on our lot and in our big grassy field. We also have several C3'ers working the concession stands that night. It is history in the making for Picktown!

silent majority

The day of the "silent majority" is over. The power they used to wield has come to an end. Ohio being historically a more "conservative" state, just relented to allow "casino's" in our state. The casino's were pushing for MORE JOBS, but the end result has always led to higher crime. This vote revealed what is valued by Ohioans today. We vote for the NOW....with no thought to what we will leave our children to deal with.
