CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Philippians 2:3-5 – Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.
MOLESKIN:
On the way to Q this workout I realized that, although I had thoughtfully planned the exercise, I hadn’t given any thought or attention to the BOM. I said a quick prayer to ask God for some inspiration to share something that at least one of the guys needed to hear that day, but what he gave me (the verse above) was direct shot at my own heart (and I hope someone else’s too). The lesson here is that God speaks to us through prayer and through his word, so if you aren’t spending consistent time in the word you’re going to miss out on all that he has for you.

Where was God?
Millions of people asked this question on this day 20 years ago, and years later as well. God where were you when those towers fell and these innocent people died?
He was right there with them. He was at the Pentagon, He was in those two towers, He was on Flight 93, and He was right there with them. 20 years later, as we honor the men and women and children and heroes that were killed on this day, we remember that even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, He is with us. We also remember that on that day and the days afterwards as well, something changed, even for a little bit –> faith, religion, politics, credence, country affiliation aside — we were reminded of our humanity. We were reminded that no matter what we call ourselves or how, we are all humans first and foremost.
So if you remember where you were that day, don’t forget your location – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. And if you don’t remember where you were that day, ask someone who does.
And yet the question remains 20 years later — “God, where are you? Do you not see what’s happening in our world and country? Where are you?” Each man must wrestle with this question, daily. We must choose to see God and seek Him out. At our coffee shops, in our conversations, in our workouts, in our places of work, in our families, in our wife and children, in our friendships and relationships — He is there. I have a hunch that if you make the ask of “God where are you,” He will reveal himself in ways that only He can.
