CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The last couple day’s verse of the day I thought went well together and were just good for being a decent human being no matter what you believe.

“Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:9‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬
“Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬

Just think before you speak. And be nice.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recall those things you thought about when you called out the phrase, “As long as I can breathe, I can …”  What came to mind?  Now listen to these words spoken by Tommie Harris, former pro football player.

Did your “I can” expand its scope after listening to Tommie?  We all need to think about our “I cans” and utilize the strength derived from every breathe to make them happen today, tomorrow, next week, and in the years to come.
MOLESKIN:
Keep all those involved with the day center drowning death of two 23 month old twins in our prayers.  There is a lot of pain, anger, guilt, and remorse.

Simmons is included, but isn’t in the Tag list.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The t-storms overnight reminded me how we all will go thru storms in life.  If we aren’t in one now, just wait, one will come.  Those storms are when we need to rely on God.  Like when the disciples were in the boat with Jesus during the storm, He used it to increase their faith and draw them closer to Him.
MOLESKIN:
Thoughts for A-Rod as he does the Atlanta ruck event.  Prayers for 2 families that have unexpectedly lost the dad at a young age.  Busy time at work for Wood Tick and coming up for Mr Wedgie’s wife.
