CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Jesus Christ is the real meaning of Christmas.  This morning we took time to listen to the Christmas Story from Luke 2:

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.  21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A reminder of how we should use what we know to share our faith.   Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves? It’s easy if we just talk about our own personal experiences.  We can’t go wrong, so don’t back away from sharing what God has done in your life with others.

MOLESKIN:
Bonus points to Fins who was dealing with a bum foot today.  He kept the pace and stayed busy with all kinds of extra credit moves while not able to run.  It was motivating to watch him not let an injury slow him down.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Christmas was God’s most successful setback. He has always delighted to show his power through apparent defeat. He makes tactical retreats in order to win strategic victories.

Joseph was promised glory and power in his dream (Genesis 37:5–11). But to achieve that victory he had to become a slave in Egypt. And as if that were not enough, when his conditions improved because of his integrity, he was made worse than a slave: a prisoner.

But it was all planned. For there in prison he met Pharaoh’s butler, who eventually brought him to Pharaoh, who put him over Egypt. What an unlikely route to glory!

But that is God’s way — even for his Son. He emptied himself and took the form of a slave. Worse than a slave — a prisoner — and was executed. But like Joseph, he kept his integrity. “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow” (Philippians 2:9–10).

And this is God’s way for us too. We are promised glory — if we will suffer with him (Romans 8:17). The way up is down. The way forward is backward. The way to success is through divinely appointed setbacks. They will always look and feel like failure.

But if Joseph and Jesus teach us anything this Christmas it is this: “God meant it for good!”

MOLESKIN:
Aparently Showcase wants to be Shooter so much he is now referring to himself in the name-o-Rama as Shooter.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Live every day like it’s our last, because it could be!

I met with a friend who is a business/time management coach. I shared my struggles to be a great husband, father, friend, etc. while also trying to develop a small cancer charity into a leader in the region and state.  She challenged me to come up with a personal mission statement and develop SMART goals for the 1st quarter of 2018 which includes both personal and professional goals.

While I’m just starting my potential 1st quarter goals now, my “current” working mission statement is:

I will spend quality time with those I love while exercising my mind, body and spirit so to fulfill my purpose of leaving our world better than I found it.

I encouraged everyone to think about their own goals and impact.

MOLESKIN:
Thank you to the PAQ at JUCO today and everyone else at F3 for being so supportive of me and everyone else.  The gloom is a great place to be when you’re with family!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
