CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes I can get too focused on ideas, like justification by faith, so that is distracts me from the mission. Johnny Appleseed was a great example of someone who lived and acted without being distracted. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” DO THAT.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Great showing out at JUCO today with plenty of options to get better. 3 men got in a pre-run, 5 hit up JUCO: Rush for some speedwork, and 7 got a little taste of JUCO: Rush during the regular beatdown. High mileage day today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We are (most of us) naturally impatient. Impatience typically stems from being put in situations where we do not have control. Waiting at a red light, waiting for your food to come out at a restaurant, waiting for your wife to finish getting ready. This impatience is often manifested as anxiety and sometimes anger. This is pretty evident if you look around right now with the way people are reacting to politics. There is very little we can control in the political arena, let’s not allow our impatience with politics to creep into our lives in the form of anxiety and anger. Focus on what is in front of you and what you can control. That is where our time and energy is best spent. Focus on Christ and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

MOLESKIN:

    CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
    “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. “
  • Philippians 4:4‭-‬9 NASB

YHC has heard this passage or a portion of it a few times in the past days. I thought it was worth sharing this morning given the state of the world. It is always encouraging to think of the good things in life and, more importantly, the life to come when times are tough.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
I Peter 1:13 So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.

MOLESKIN:
Another beautiful morning – crazy world, but God is working…
