CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Philippians 2:3-5 – Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.  Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.

MOLESKIN:
On the way to Q this workout I realized that, although I had thoughtfully planned the exercise, I hadn’t given any thought or attention to the BOM.  I said a quick prayer to ask God for some inspiration to share something that at least one of the guys needed to hear that day, but what he gave me (the verse above) was direct shot at my own heart (and I hope someone else’s too).  The lesson here is that God speaks to us through prayer and through his word, so if you aren’t spending consistent time in the word you’re going to miss out on all that he has for you.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Please sign up for Hardship Hill and/or make yourself available to help position the obstacle some time next week.  I’ll put a word out there to coordinate a day that works.

Encouragement to pray for our leaders. In all the news, discussion, opinions, complaints, etc… the clear command in Scripture is for us to pray for them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Quote from “The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boone” by John Filson (1784)

“Thus situated, many hundred miles from our families in the howling wilderness, I believe few would have equally enjoyed the happiness we experienced.  I often observed to my brother, you see now how little nature requires to be satisfied.  Felicity, the companion of content, is rather found in our own breasts than in the enjoyment of external things; and I firmly believe it requires but a little philosophy to make a man happy in whatsoever state he is.  This consists in full resignation to the will of Providence; and a resigned soul finds pleasure in a path stewed with briars and thorns.”
MOLESKIN:
Boone’s first foray into Kentucky included the discovery of beautiful land and bountiful hunting, his and his parties capture by Natives, his escape, the murder of the other party members, and his chance meeting with / rescue by his brother in the wilderness.  All of that happened in the span of about 6-9 months, and even after all of that – his memory of the events centered around the quote above.
