Sparrow’s birdwatching Q.
Run the short mile with a partner, one of you facing backwards. Discussion question: have you ever made an investment you were proud of? Did you buy Apple stock in 1990? Did you Mentor someone who became a CEO? Sure anything that comes to mind in the category of investments. SSH

Die of Death

Moleskin: We’re exploring the idea of the gentleman. It offered a “standard of conduct, to which the best born did not always rise and which even the humblest might sometimes display” (The Complete Gentleman)

But it could be reduced just to fashion and style, and John Henry Newman restores an element of virtue.

We’ve already seen how the gentleman “is one who never inflicts pain” and that he is like an easy chair or a good fire. Drilling deeper, Newman says “He has his eyes on all his company, he is tender towards the bashful, gentle towards the distant, and merciful toward the absurd… he is seldom prominent in conversation, and never wearisome.”

“He never speaks of himself except when compelled, never defends himself by a mere retort; he has no ears for slander or gossip, is scrupulous in imputing motives to those who interfere with him, and interprets everything for the best.”

Moleskine:
Depression is tough… life events, news, weather, chemical imbalance, and other things affect our mental health.

I’ve had bouts of depression or dysthymia off and on the past several years… negative thoughts, spiraling down, leading to low motivation, lack of energy, avoidance of things. Last May, I felt depressed and didn’t come to F3 for a whole month. I started up on medication again… started doing things, feeling better, gained more confidence, and it helped that I had my sisters to talk with, my wife, and a few friends who listened and cared. If you know someone who is depressed reach out to them and be present and listen… and if you are depressed – reach out to people you trust… safe people who will listen and try and help.

COT: Silence and short prayer of gratitude for Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith
