Good Morning,
The Door County Highlander Grog Coffee is steaming hot and ready to be tasted. It is time to write.
A few years ago the men from our church and other churches would compete against each other in a shooting contest. Each church would assemble a team or two and compete at shooting sporting clays. For those of you who don't know what sporting clays are, they are basically trap shooting but with targets that resemble waterfowl or upland birds in flight. The shooting needs to be fast and at times two targets launch at the same time. Each team member's score counts.
1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.
Well, for many years we lost and had to take the chiding with a smile. But finally after many trips to the practice range our band of misfits pulled it off. We actually won! It was one that I will never forget.
My point for the day is this. Anything worth striving for takes time and practice and maybe some coaching or lessons.
My friends this includes all things in life. If you want to be a great husband or father, you have to practice at it. There are plenty of Biblical self help books on being a husband, or father. Ladies there is the same opportunity out there for you as well. Maybe you want to be recognized as a hard worker. You then need to show up at work and become the model employee you desire to be. It takes practice and dedication. Imitate the good practices of others and then strive to do them better.
I for one believe that accountability partners are a a good tool to keep yourself living your goals. A good accountability partner tells you what you need to hear, not always what you want to hear.
So my friends, set a goal for yourself and aim for perfection. Accept some training and coaching and by all means pray for your accountability partner. They need to be as serious or more serious than you are for your success.
Have a great day.
