COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

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.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
What does the 4th of July truly signify? To most it is parades, cook outs, and fireworks (to freak out my dog and my youngest daughter). But if you take a minute to consider what the men who signed the Declaration of Independence did, you will see a small group of men stepping up to fight against an injustice to the people. They were fighting against unfair taxation and laws pushed upon them. It did not start as a massive movement, but as a few men that started a discussion about what could be done. Nothing in our lives ever starts out as a huge movement/action, it is all incremental. We have a discussion here, do something there, recruit a friend or neighbor next, etc. We need to focus on what matters and make slow, calculated, deliberate steps towards it and we will get there sooner than we think. Enjoy your time with your families on the 4th, but make sure you are focused on what truly matters.
