CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thanksgiving is great time to bring to the forefront what we’re thankful for. I believe this PAX does a great job of that week in and week out. Today I’m thankful for this PAX. You men have really helped bear my burdens and I’m thankful to be a part of this group.
MOLESKIN:
WaxJob, again, decided to show up shirtless. And never complained. Split Jack’s were renamed Jane Fonda’s by Ribbed. The PAX were treated to Jocko’s psychological warfare and other classic workout tunes. Plus we had a couple of travelers T-Pimp, Choir Boy and Spam made the journey out this morning. Also Mayberry said he would be back for seconds. #EarnTheBird

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Spoke from Matthew 14.  The story of Jesus walking on water.  Prior to walking on water, Jesus told the disciples to get into a boat and go out on the sea.  Later on, while they were on the water a storm came up and they were afraid, then Jesus walked out to the boat and calmed the storm.   This mornings point was that the disciples did exactly as Jesus told them to do, yet they still encountered a storm.  Life is this way – Jesus told us the Christian life would be difficult.  Do not believe the lie that says storms only arise in your life because you are outside of the will of God.  Quite the contrary, storms are often the mark of a Christian following God’s commands.

Something that I have been struggling with as of late is speaking too much and not listening nearly enough. Challenge for the day is to listen more and talk less and see how much it steers our day on a more fruitful and prosperous path for everyone. God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason.

16 HIMs this morning.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This politics season we have left and right duking it out as usual, which was what prompted this Left and Right Q, but as I worked on the details, God brought to mind a totally different left and right context in Matthew 6:

Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Two points from the above… The first is the obvious one – Don’t do good stuff for recognition from man. Second is just one word – “When”, not “If”. It should be the default that we are going to help others – Be on the lookout for opportunities to practice “When”.

MOLESKIN:
Lovely concert during the beatdown from trumpet virtuoso Sparky!
