Effort Reveals Character

Colossians 3:17 “Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”

My friend Tom celebrated another birthday last week. He earned a 4.0 gpa (highest possible) thru h.s. & college; majoring in computer science & math. Additionally, he won state championships & earned 3X All-American in cross country on teams that finished 8^th, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th. Tom lost his dad as boy. His mom, Connie, taught him that everything he did reflected his character.

Tom tells of some saying, “I could get a 4.0 too if I studied like you…”

“Well, why don’t you study like I do?”

As Christians, we reflect our character & our relationship with the Lord in everything we do.

BTW *Hypothetically*: If you’re sprinting beside Tom at the end of a race & he begins dry heaving, stay calloused. The moment you show concern, he will flip on the turbo chargers & leave you in the dust! LOL!!!

The weather has varied from blizzards, knee deep snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, torrential rain, hail, lightning, mud, dust, and high winds to perfectly warm and sunny.
