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.
