I told her that if that pilot was serious, you would've been in a world of hurt. We see a lot of military aircraft. Every time one flys over my wife thinks it's the end of the world and the Apocalypse has come.

I worked for a large company in Atlanta that had a DataCenter in a 10 story building about 3 miles east of Dobbins Airforce Base.

We had been trying to get approval for a second data center out of region with no luck. One Saturday the Risk guys were on top of building taking pictures of all the local risks that could shutdown the DataCenter (2 major interstates, hazardous train route, etc…) when this big old C130 being flown by guardsmen came by for a big old swoop right towards the building lining up for the runway. Risk guys took pictures for the next few hours as the guardsman did touch and Go(s) clocking their mandatory hours.

The $150m Datacenter project was approved the next board meeting.

Not being an ass. What's the corollary between the touch and go's and a datacenter?

The planes were flying right over building by a few thousand feet.

Between the pictures of them approaching and flying over the building the board decided that was too much risk for a multi billion dollar (40B) company.

Happy Friday sorry I am late

Scripture — Colossians 3:23–24 (NIV)
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

Reflection
This verse quietly reframes something we tend to separate—our “spiritual life” and our “working life.” Paul doesn’t draw that line. He collapses it.
Whatever you do.
Not just what feels meaningful. Not just what gets recognized. Not just what aligns with your ideal circumstances.
Whatever you do—emails, decisions, conversations, even the unseen or repetitive parts—are placed under one principle: who it’s really for.

That shifts the weight of things.
It removes the pressure of needing every effort to be validated by people, systems, or outcomes. At the same time, it raises the standard—not toward perfection, but toward sincerity.

Working “with all your heart” isn’t about intensity for its own sake. It’s about alignment. It means your effort is not divided—part for appearance, part for survival—but unified in purpose.

And there’s a steadying truth underneath it: the reward Paul speaks of isn’t immediate feedback. It’s not recognition, promotion, or even visible success.
So the question this leaves you with is simple:
What would change in how you approach today if you truly believed your work was seen and received by God first?

Prayer
Lord, help me bring a whole heart into what I’ve been given to do today. Where I’ve divided my effort—seeking approval, avoiding difficulty, or holding back—draw me back into alignment. Teach me to work with quiet integrity, not for recognition, but as an offering to You. Remind me that what is unseen is not unnoticed, and that faithfulness matters even when outcomes are uncertain. Steady my perspective so that I serve You first in all things. Amen.

SIAP: NCAA exploring eligibility rule of 5yrs past 19th birthday or high school graduation.

Kinda like that. Would affect some foreign pros in basketball and soccer coming to the US to play college ball. Would deal, to some extent, with the current JuCo argument.
