CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I had nothing. Drifter stepped up and provided us with a nice Easter message from his recent study of Matthew. He spoke about certain flower up north that blooms early but is subsequently covered in snow. An allegory of Christ dying but leaving us with the hope of a new “spring” yet to come.
MOLESKIN:
I had a way worse routine planned. I’m thankful the blocks were returned so we could do my original idea. That bad one will probably be saved for the Burbs. I don’t want anyone to quit the Bomb Shelter…

Men spend their live in anticipations, in determining to be vastly happy at some period or other, when they have time.  But the present time has one advantage over every other: it is our own.      -Charles C. Colton
MOLESKIN:
I’ve been working quite a bit lately and this Q sorta slipped my mind.  However, as with all of life’s unexpected moments we always have the choice of how we react.  What a great lesson we can all learn when we stop to listen, ask for help, and rely on our fellow HIM’s.  Thank you all for your help today and every day!  -Butterfingers 🙂

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living.  We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.  -Dale Carnegie

One important source of unhappiness is the habit of putting off living to some fictional future date.  Men and women are constantly making themselves unhappy because in deferring their lives to the future they lose sight of the present and its golden opportunities for rich living.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Again, I gotta say – it’s all about attitude. A guy at my work spoiled my attitude and I let it ruin a day and half for me. I made a conscious decision to be positive (or not negative) and it completely turned things around for me. Just enter every situation, every new day, every greeting with positivity. Smile, great pleasantly, banish negative thoughts and you will feel so much better.
