# SC Meeting
where are we?
- electronics are designed and ready for prototype. might ahve some revisions after reviews
- started conversation with FCC regulations
- got casters and handle designed, ready for sheetmetal fab
After meeting I feel better. Not that we actually really talked about stuff. But I feel better. Doing things alleviates anxiety. Not sure it makes you right. It helps you be less wrong though.
# Grow Grit & Virtue
_“Do not neglect your gift.”_ — 1 Timothy 4:14
Envy lies, misleads and is a poor teacher to say the least. It stares at someone elses grace and tells you that you have none. Your gift is not a possession for you to coddle and adore and parade around for your own private comfort and amusement. It is a trust from God for the upbuilding of His people. Paul roots Timothys gift in the Churchs life—given by God, which means your gift is real, received, and accountable.
Your gift will not erase your temperament or your limits; it will elevate them for service. It is not self-display. It is obedience. Neglected gifts turn sour. The gift you receive is for the benefit of others.
Neglect has many faces: comparison that breeds resentment, fear that hides, acedia that delays, busyness that excuses, false humility that refuses responsibility. All of these are forms of refusal. The parable of the talents does not treat refusal gently. You bear responsibility and you will be held to account.
**Ask. Pray**: _“Lord, show me what You have given.”_ God will answer.

**Receive**. Gifts are ecclesial before they are personal.
**Test**. Offer your work in small, concrete acts. Gifts clarify under use. Fruit and feedback will refine them.
**Train**. Grace does not excuse sloth. Study, practice, repentance, and steady prayer are the ordinary ascetics of any charism.
**Offer**. Put the gift at the feet of Christ: use it where the Body has real need, not where you desire.
**Persevere**. Gifts mature under crosses. Pauls charge assumes resistance; faithfulness is how a gift is kept alive, functional, and effective.
Do not wait to feel exceptional. Holiness is not recognition and notoriety. It is fidelity. The Spirit apportions as He wills; your task is to stir into flame what He has placed in you (cf. 2 Tim 1:6), and to spend it in love. Then the command becomes joy: the Church is fed, Christ is honored, and you become what you were entrusted to be—a gift that returns to the Giver with increase.
