CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

My health has been bad in 2018. Fortunately, my doctors figured out my thyroid wasn’t functioning properly so I’m now taking medication to increase my thyroid levels. While it’s been rough for me and my family, I never thought I was going to die.

My charity helps people every day who have cancer and may actually die. Instead of feeling sorry for myself like I have over the last 6 months, I need to appreciate that my doctors have figured it out AND it’s treatable AND I’ll survive AND I’m blessed with basic resources that I can afford (food, clothing, shelter, medications, etc.).  Many people don’t have those so it’s time to focus on doing what I can to help them!

MOLESKIN:

Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak. Heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony. ~ Psalm 6:2

The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health.  ~ Psalm 41:3

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Today was a core workout…in keeping with that theme, I though I’d talk about what’s at my core.

My core starts at Romans 3:23 where the Bible tells us that everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory (or perfection) of God.  Later on in the 6th chapter of Romans we are told that the wages of sin (the penalty of sin) is death.  Pretty gloomy stuff, but it all gets turned on its head with the life/death/resurrection of Jesus.  Jesus came to this earth, lived a perfect life and died in your place to take the penalty of your sin for you.  Romans 10:9 tells us that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart, that you will be saved.  It’s the gospel in less than 30 seconds.  That is what’s at my core…what’s at yours?  If you aren’t sure, I encourage you to reach out with questions.  I’d love to tell you more over a cup of coffee sometime.

1 Corinth 9:24 Run in such a way as to get the prize..

2 Tim 2:4 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.

Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Prayer:  Pray for Christian that his visa renewal goes well!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

How many of you have hit golf balls at a driving range? When you have all or most of the balls, typically, we just let it rip. However, when the bucket is nearly empty, we start to focus.

We need to be like a soldier, an athlete and a farmer.  A solder is focused and purposeful.  An athlete is disciplined, committed and dedicated. A farmer has faith/hope because they are planting seeds to produce & sustain life.

God didn’t promise us an easy life but a meaningful one if we live through Him

If our life were like a clock and we were born at 7:00 a.m. and died at 11:00 p.m., on average, if you are:

20 years old, it’s 11:43 a.m. in your life

30 years old, it’s 1:17 p.m. in your life

45 years old, it’s 5:00 p.m. in your life

I turned 47 not long ago which means it’s after 5:00 p.m. in my life.

In life, we don’t know which day will be our last so we need to focus today and every day on what is important…make the call to a loved one, teach our kids lessons right away, be the person we want and need to be NOW.

We need to tee up that golf ball that we call life and focus every day or shot like it could be the last of our life!

TEE IT UP & SWING AWAY!!!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I recently gave a friend a call who I knew was having a tough stretch. I found out that his life is more difficult and complex than I thought. It turns out he really (his own words) needed someone to reach out to him. So, be active. Reach out to friends, if they’re fine they will let you know. If not, then listen as much as you can. I encourage you all to make a phone call on your 30 min commute, or maybe while running to the store.
MOLESKIN:
Good work today guys. I am really glad I signed up to Q. If I had not I prolly woulda fartsacked. I am grateful for you all.
