Discipline

Hello my brothers and sisters,

We are hearing complaints about the word mandatory being used for next years camp out. I'm very saddened that so many of you are not committed enough to set aside this weekend to be with this organization you joined. We do have to have some rules in order to be organised, otherwise we would all be a bunch of individuals and the patch on our back means nothing. I've heard Pops say before "Of those little is expected, little is required". I don't expect little from any of you, I believe you are all ministers in the finest organization, I've ever been a part of. With that said, of those much is expected, much is required! We are not dictators and are understanding that occasions will arise that cause you to not be able to make it, but if you are an officer, especially a chapter Prez, it would be in your best interest to be there. Pops and I are wanting to see this ministry to the next level and getting there will mean we have to discipline our troops.

Have you ever heard of a pro athletic team allowing their athletes to skip mandatory workouts and practices, yet still allow them to wear their jersey and play on game day? Do you think the military would be ok with a soldier that doesn't show up for drills, but is always there for pay day? We will not be ok with this type of performance from Circuit Riders either! You joined this organization, you earned that patch on your back that says Riding For Jesus on it and committed to do that. Now I'm asking all of you to consider that commitment. Do you really do anything to minister to others in this ministry or is that patch just so you look good when you go for a ride with your buddies. I can't express how much I love this ministry and all of you that wear its patch so much that it infuriates me when I see some act in a way that takes away from the meaning of it. Pops and I do not want to be the bad guys, but we're not going to be the ones that let this ministry fail either. I must say that these are my words and may not reflect upon Pops.

Again I say I love you all and I pray blessings upon each of you so that you may go out and be blessings to others and Circuit Riders MM.

Riding For Jesus,
