CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The Hindenburg’s creators were silly enough to put a lavish smoking room on board. However, their primary job was to get people safely from point A to point B. Challenge: What’s your primary objective as a Christian, man, husband, father, friend, etc.? Do you focus on the tasks, easy things, comfort, etc.? If you can get 1 thing right in your day that’s actually important what would that be?

MOLESKIN:

Prayers for Guano’s grandfather’s funeral and Trolley’s wife’s health.

Good to see Bulldog come out to JUCO who normally posts at Asylum and Big Ball.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Trolley, 5K, and Judge Judy on Q next week at JUCO. Booster says it should be easy. I think that’s a challenge. 😉

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We all face a lot of shame, humiliation, feelings of embarassment, and inadequacy. It’s usually in those moments that we face defeating thoughts and thus act out in negative or destructive ways. Challenging thought: When do you feel shame most? Encouragement: remember in those moments to recognize your shame, but then but in the context of God’s grace, truth, and surround yourselves with community.

MOLESKIN:

No prayer requests

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Today’s word lifted from My Utmost for His highest – the one from last Saturday:

What To Do When Your Burden Is Overwhelming

As we work together, we get closer. The same happens as we cast our burdens on God… Not that we cast them away entirely, but we shoulder them together and in so doing become closer.

MOLESKIN:
Only 2 more AOs that have not seen the memory cards… Look out Equalizer and Quacken!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayers for Trolley’s wife and family – related to today’s word! He knows what we need!
