CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recently I saw a video online of a bullrider at a rodeo. Not long after he was out of the chute, the bull pitched forward and the bullrider slapped his head on the horns and was knocked off and unconscious. The clowns tried to keep the bull distracted for a while, but once it turned to go back to the defenseless rider, a man ran out layed down on the bullrider, and hugged him to protect him from further harm. As I researched further, I learned that the man that protected the bullrider was the guy’s father. That is biblical, sacrificial, F3 manly type love. It was a love that would willingly put itself in harm’s way for the defense of another. I used that illustration in my Sunday sermon. Earlier this week, I had one of those moments where I completely blew it with my son. I got super-frustrated, and lost my cool, and did all the things a Dad shouldn’t do. Once I had calmed down and realized how stupid I was being, I was just sitting in a recliner holding my boy. A thought occurred to me in that moment. Instead of being the dad that protected that boy from the bull, when I let my anger go, I became the bull that tried to stomp my son. Realizing this, I just was reminded of Ephesians 6:4, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have a Daily Men’s Devotional on the middle console of my van. My thought of having it there was that I will see it every day and read the paragraph and prayer for each day one of the times I am getting in and out of the van. Because I am not the *best* at follow-through, I usually only actually read it once or twice a week. It’s there every day and I see it, but I have stopped seeing it. It has become like a pebble in your shoe. At first, it is annoying and you notice it constantly. However, after a while, you get used to it and stopped noticing it.

All this to say, I need to be better with my prayer life. I have gone in spurts of praying every day, but it almost never lasts. Speak it into existence, right?!
