CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Adverstity.   We all deal with it in some form or fashion.  The question is how are you, as a man, going to handle it?  Will it defeat you or will you defeat it?  We usually don’t see adversity coming, so it often lands the first punch…..the trick is to not let it defeat you and be ready to lean in and punch back even harder.

MOLESKIN:
Today is my son’s 11th birthday…..thus all the 11 counts.   Had to cut the workout short by about 10 minutes so that I could make it home in time to open presents with him.  Thanks to the PAX for being flexible this morning.  We crammed a lot of work into a short amount of time today!

COT AND BOM
I get to take my daughter Molly to school every morning. On Thursday mornings, I have an early 8 o’clock meeting. She is usually up and ready to go, but sometimes she forgets to wake up. Yesterday morning was one of those mornings. When I got home from my workout at 6:25 she was just waking up. I asked her if she was getting ready and she started whining saying she woke up late and she can’t get ready in time. “It’s impossible Dad!” I assured her that she could if she hustled and made it a goal to get ready by 6:55 AM. She whined one more time and said OK. At 6:55 she was already dressed, had made herself some breakfast, had her bag packed and was waiting on me. I thought to myself that often times we talk ourselves out of things when we really just need to put our head down, clinch our teeth and push through. I think Molly learned a good lesson this morning as we talked about it on the way to school and so did I.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When it comes to sharing your faith, say the things that need to be said.  Because most often the regret of not telling someone what they need to hear about the Lord is way worse than any awkwardness that might come about from speaking the truth in love.  So say what needs to be said!  But oh yeah there are other times when you should shut up!  The Lord will give wisdom to know the difference.
MOLESKIN:
glad we ended up getting something done !!!!!!
