COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Something that we may not appreciate on a regular basis is that we have some definitive amount of time on earth.  10 years for example is only 87,600 hours.  How do we spend it? Do we wander around aimlessly in parking lots or do we intentionally segregate our time during the day to focus on scripture, our kids, our wife (NOT plural).  Do you constantly get distracted by youtube, facebook, your phone in general when you should be focusing on your family or a task that your putting off?  Your habits and actions are seen and remembered very clearly by your kids and we need to constantly self evaluate.  Strive to be intentional with our time and looking into the holiday season, be thankful for our families and the people in our lives.
MOLESKIN:

Prayers for folks who may be spending this thanksgiving without a family member due to covid and remember to be truly thankful for the sacrifice of Jesus and what opportunities we’ve been given.

Pride is often the route cause of conflict and it is important to be aware of it.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve got some friends I’m very close to, that are suffering right now. A lot of it’s self inflicted (addiction, alcohol, etc…) but they’ve reached out recently.

How do you handle that?

I’m trying to be a HIM a spiritual gangster. Like you guys! I pray for them multiple times a day. I try to get them involved with F3 (where they live). I ask them to serve food at a rescue ministry. I try to get them to count blessings and not your mistakes.

They have a lot going on for them, super talented, but don’t feel like it right now.

You might feel that way too. It’s OK. Know you are loved . I love you. More importantly God loves you.

Booster recently posted, “You can sit with me at church…”

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
“and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Romans 3:23 -24
