Devo: YHC did not have a Devotion ready when asked to take the Q, so I used the Devotional that YHC’s Associate Pastor sent out the past Monday.
THE FACTS OF LIFE
A Weekly Ministry of Harris Baptist Church
May 9, 2016
Is Anybody Listening?
Did you hear about the old man who suffered serious hearing problems for over a decade before finally going to a specialist? As it turned out, he was a perfect candidate for hearing aids. He was tested, fitted with the devices, and restored to practically perfect hearing.
When he returned to the clinic for a checkup six months later, his doctor asked, “Is your family excited about the marvelous improvement in your ability to hear?”
“Oh, I haven’t told them about it!” replied the old fellow. “I just sit around and listen to their conversations. I’ve changed my will three times so far.”
Some people must think the people around them are deaf. They criticize and make unkind remarks. They try to make themselves look good by tearing others down. It is a fundamental mark of personal insecurity when someone makes a habit of defaming others — whether in politics, business, or personal relationships.
Isn’t it strange how often some hateful thing one says about another behind his back finds its way to the person? Thus the Bible says: “Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say” (Ecclesiastes 10:20).
Children certainly aren’t as hard of hearing as some parents seem to think. Call a child “clumsy,” “stupid,” or “bad” enough times, and the word becomes a label. More than that, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. “If that’s what my Dad (or Mom) thinks of me,” reasons a child, “why should I try to be anything else?”
No wonder the Bible says: “He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity” (Proverbs 21:23).
Be careful what you say this week. Someone will hear every word.
YHC Challenged the Pax to make an attempt to make themselves better by building people up versus tearing them down.

Count-o-roma
Name-o-rama
NMS:
* YHC wanted to come up with a challenging workout, since he was told by a Pax the night before that they may post to Fury, because they thought it may be a little easier than a Meter Maid beat down. Hopefully it lived up to the hype.
* #Tclaps to False Start for destroying the Workout. Man’s a machine!
* #Tclaps to Pusher for pushing himself to Post with injury. Even with Modifying the upper body exercises he was able to get in a good workout and is better for it.
* Mumble Chatter was at an all time low. Even for the Shipyard. But YHC did catch on multiple occasions that everyone loves to hate the Meter Maid. That puts a smile on the face. Confirms that work is being done.
* Thanks to CornStache of Columbia for coming to the Wood to Q Fury last Saturday. That’s where YHC got the Spoke idea from.
* Merkin count for challenge = 322
As always it’s an honor to Q. Thanks for handing it off Sugar. Glad to be able to help out.
Until the next Q,
Meter Maid is out.
