COT: Lately I've been struggling with being wrapped up in the business of my own schedule. Too many things booked to have time to rest or think about helping others. I recently read a quote by Kenny Luck that goes "We as men are called to invest our passions in the service of life, not invest our life in the service of our passions." I want to challenge you to join me this week in reflecting on the question – What change have I committed to in my life and how does it help others? If you remember anything, remember the saying "it's not about me" (INAM). Aye.
