COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
10 HIMs no FNGs
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about the origin and tradition related to the familiar song about 12 days of Christmas – historically referred to as the time between Christmas and Epiphany (where the Magi came to worship the Christ in Bethlehem).  The star and the fulfillment of Micah’s prophecy culminating in an expense journey that disrupted the local region.  Christ is still interrupting culture today as wise men continue to seek Him!  Remember that Jesus, our Savior, is the reason for this season of celebration.

“Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2:1-6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

So, December 6th is the day before the 7th.  Or day before anniversary of attack on Pearl Harbor.  Arles Cole is a Pearl Harbor survivor. His advice to young servicemen is to “Train, train, train.”.  Arles believes training was a big reason Pearl Harbor wasn’t worse.  Taking his advice, we applied it to our health and worked out.  The challenge is to apply his advice to other aspects of your life.  Prayer life, Work, Family, etc.

 

MOLESKIN:
For those suffering from cancer specifically friend Matt, and girlfriend’s mother.  For parenting plans and the kids that are influenced by them.  For the unsaid prayers in our hearts.

James 1: 19-20

19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

Listen is the key word for me. 

I need to set aside my selfishness and value others around me when they talk. It’s tempting for me to focus on what I want to say, but it can really mean a lot to our friends, family and strangers if we give them 100% of our attention.
