CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

James 1:26‭-‬27 NLT

Be careful what you say about others. Don’t judge or assume the worst. Give grace and the benefit of any doubt. God’s ways are not our ways and He may be working in ways you do not understand. Do your part, love others and leave the rest up to Him!

MOLESKIN:
A lively bunch with plenty of chatter that even Cindy Crawford couldn’t render speechless. Also, I have learned that being on Q is not my spiritual gift.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Going to the Dad Camp the previous weekend reminded me of many things: 1) Time with your kids is precious and having fun with them is important even if there are meltdowns, 2) Time with other men is refreshing to the soul, 3) We were not meant to do this thing called life alone.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10: Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!

Take time to fellowship with other men, take time to BE with your families, take time to BE with your spouse.  I too often let other things in life occupy my time and while they are not bad, they do not refresh my spirit as much as these.

Read Acts 28:1-6
MOLESKIN:
How would any of us react if we were sitting around a campfire, and one of us had a viper latch onto their hand!? Paul had faith and peace in this situation because of what had happened previously to the shipwreck. God send a messenger to Paul, letting him know that he would go to Rome and all who were in the boat with him would be saved from the storm. It was on this promise that Paul stood and found peace. We can walk in God’s promises because they belong to us if we are His. We can walk in peace because He is faithful to keep His promises.
