Colossians 3:19, 21
[19] Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.
[21] Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
As husbands and fathers, we have been charged with a heavy responsibility as leaders in our home. A husband worth submitting to is one who loves their wife as Christ loved the church. A father that loves his children well is one that models his heavenly Father’s love towards him.
Paul offers us a gut check to see how we’re doing in these areas. Don’t be harsh with your wife, don’t provoke your children. Be mindful of all your words and actions in these relationships. Let’s not let them undermine our impact in this role we’ve been called to.

Moleskine:
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
I have personally experienced that a great source of peace comes from being faithful to the Lord, commiting my work and efforts to the Lord, and trusting him with the results. I’m not going to lean on my own understanding of how things should turn out. His ways are greater than mine.

WOR: SSHs, mountain man poopers, Abe Vigodas, mountain climbersThe Thang: We separated into two campaigns: team Kang (@Samsonite, @Sparrow, @Jailbreak, @Dumpster, @Da Vinci), and team Kodos (@Stock boy, @Linc, @TBTF, @LeMond, @Cheese). Each team had to send representatives to the various states in #ao_mastodon to do their official state exercise, after which they earn one vote that they’d have to bring back to the ballot box (my car) to cast the vote:
In a historical landslide electoral college victory, Kodos defeated Kang 63 – 37. However, the race was much tighter than those results would imply. Kodos got off to early leads in Hoffarado and Lungington which Kang was never able to overcome. Despite the unusually low turnout in Hoffarado, there was a late surge for Kang in this key state, but it wasn’t enough to overtake Kodos, who was rewarded with the largest state’s electors. Swingsconsin was competitive early on, but after the mail-in ballots were counted, Kang enjoyed a comfortable win in that state with its historical turnout. It wasn’t enough however: in the end, Kodos won the three largest states cementing his place as our new alien overlord.The election was not without controversy though, as Kang won more of the popular vote than Kodos, 78 – 76. There have already been renewed calls to abolish the electoral college, and thousands of protesters have flooded #ao_mastodon chanting, “NOT MY ALIEN OVERLORD!!!”ELECTION RESULTS:
Hoffarado – Kang 6, Kodos 7
Barizona – Kang 7, Kodos 14
Lungington – Kang 6, Kodos 10
Pressylvania – Kang 16, Kodos 12
Swingsconsin – Kang 32, Kodos 24
Squatlahoma – Kang 11, Kodos 9Moleskine:
