CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We listened to a bunch of music today that I listened to in high school.  It’s great music and often brings back memories of the trouble I got into as a kid.  Therefore the BOM was quoted from Ecclesiastes chapters 11-12.  Basically it talks about the fact that men will enjoy the time of their youth, however we also need to be aware that we will ultimately be held accountable for our actions.  The only way to avoid this judgement is to accept Christ as your personal savior and let his death, burial and resurrection take the place of your punishment.

Short and sweet today.  Question:  Is the culture in your workplace the way you want it to be?   If not…what are you doing to change it?

MOLESKIN:

Cosmo pointed out that we may have set an F3 record of sorts….we didn’t do any merkins!  It wasn’t intentional, but that’s how it worked out.   Does it really count as an F3 beatdown if you don’t do any merkins??

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

One good thing about Qing yesterday and having no repeat PAX today….I can recycle the BOM!  It’s still applicable!

We talked about resolutions for the new year.  New year’s day is a good time to reflect on the past year and put plans in place to make yourself better in the coming year.  2 Corinthians 5:17 says that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation; old things have passed away and new things have come.  This is refreshing to hear as we begin a new year.  We all have parts of 2018 we’d like to forget.  I challenged the PAX today to center their resolutions around being more like Christ in 2019.  If we draw closer to Christ and become more and more like him each day, the “normal” resolutions of physical fitness, time management, diet, fiscal responsibility, etc. will take care of themselves.
