CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The warrior ethos (AKA Jedi Training) consist of 13 pillars: commitment, honor, respect, prepared, faithful, fighter, hungry, humble, lover, teachable, firestarter, truthful, and generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse.

Today I’m discussing the 10th pillar: Teachable
The verse for this pillar is John 14:26

“But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”
John 14:26 NLT

Always be open!! We need to have a passion to learn and intention to learn daily.
Let’s reflect on what we learn and most importantly apply it!
If it doesn’t work out, cause sometimes it won’t… What did we learn from it?

Gentlemen I encourage you to have a growth mindset.
MOLESKIN:
Insert any personal comments, notes, devotion content, etc.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Pi is an irrational number. The first day of Spring Break, I was irrationally upset at my 5 kids being home alone with them all day. As fathers, we have to be patient, especially in situations that are out of the normal or off the routine (like Spring Break). 

PRAYER REQUESTS:

Prayers for Matlock’s father and the issues with insurance and his therapy.

Heavy. Spring Break. Surprise.

11 PAX were hitting it hard today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Synopsis from Romans 5:1-11:
1. FAITH in Christ provides peace and access
2. HOPE through Christ allows us to endure suffering to become more Christ-like
3. LOVE of Christ saves sinners from God’s wrath and justifies us now and in the future

Faith, Hope, and Love is a repeated theme in Scripture.

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, 4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. 5 This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. 8 But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath. 10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. 11 And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.”

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Wilbur and M as another 2.0 on the way, prayers for those HIMs traveling like Binks, praises for good health and job reports.  Great to have Curious George back with us.
