Everything below is taken care of by voluntary donations and volunteers. Donation boxes are provided so they our donations can be taken care of discreetly, so no plates or bags are passed around. I'm attending an international convention for three days since Friday. No time before or during the convention. It's full on. 22,000+ in attendance, but everything is so organised. We have over 3,000 volunteers who help with various assignments from providing lifts on carts for the infirm to take them to the seated areas only for the infirm and their caregivers. Attendants who keep the toilets clean throughout the entire day. Attendants that stand at every aisle in case someone needs assistance especially the elderly. Brothers had an assistance area for lost n found, or any broken equipment or bathroom stuff that was required. Creche area that had comfortable seating where they could feed their babies in a private area. Lift attendants. Carpark attendants. Bus captains who were responsible for making sure everyone made it to the bus. Before the convention started - toilets were cleaned, stadium swept, bins at every section and brothers did a walk through to cordon off unsafe areas and make sure the sound systems and TV screens were in place and in their allocated spots. All of this was so well taken care of so that if anything were to happen - they'd make sure everyone moved out safely and making sure they look after one another. There were 3,000 who came over from 20 different countries who were hosted by different congregations here in New Zealand. They were picked up from the airport, provided refreshments when they got off the plane - then taken out for a few hours and dropped at their accommodation whether that was a hotel or one of our houses. So different ones would drive around 5-6 people, they didn't all come on the same day. Our organisation also has an arrangement with multiple hotels and motels that would provide discounts to us and so too with many restaurants.

What has an eye, but cannot see?

LORD when my words fall silent and my thoughts feel thin, meet me in the stillness where You have always been. I don’t bring answers, only an open heart. I don’t know the next step, but I know who You are. Breathe life into the spaces I cannot fill alone. Teach me that waiting is not wasted time. In this holy quiet, shape what I cannot see. I trust You are working even when I am still. Amen.

I was this close to skipping my workout today… but then something happened. After dinner, my daughter Olivia looked at me and said, “Dad, are we getting a workout in today?” She’s 5 years old. So we went downstairs and started the workout together. She joined me for the first 10 minutes, then stopped and said, “I’m done. I’m going to play.” And that’s when it hit me—we have accountability partners in our lives who are younger than we realize. I couldn’t just stop. I finished strong and crushed my workout, even on a day I almost skipped. Ended the day with 12K steps thanks to time in the gym. Lesson of the day: 👉 Prioritize your health—because health creates wealth. 💪 Who got there workout in today? No pic with her because she left after 10min lol If you read this far you might as well join this https://www.skool.com/hardwayfitness/about?ref=0cb627cc17c547619211c4c5c5ae3e77

I had the honor to collaborate with two amazing people. @Stephen Mooney and @Ray Thigpen We recorded an episode for my podcast and I was the guest for Ray’s. The power of merging eco systems is real and I’m always looking for more likeminded people to do this with!
