Being an example for Christ in what we do and how we react.  We are constantly faced with decisions, obstacles, and trials.  They are inevitable.  It’s part of living on this side of heaven.  Though we can’t stop these things from happening, we can control how we react to them.  Challenge of showing Christ through our circumstances.  Using Paul and his imprisonment as an example of choosing joy in the midst of our circumstance.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 in attendance, including “the Gibbler” @Gibbler.  Does this mean that Gibbler posts mileage under Dog Pound or Asylum?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Prompted by Tweet-E’s revelatory insight from the prior night’s power outage at his home (and mine), I was prompted to reflect and pray during Tha-Thang about God’s command to “abide” in Him and “be still.” Of course, it was hard to be still while running, but the point is not “be motionless,” but “be focused on God.”

How rarely I stop, clear my mind,  focus on the greatness, glory, worthiness, omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, sovereignty, might, love, etc… of God and just “be still.”  Even in the me-time, I run with headphones in, distracting myself, or bury my face in a screen or page.

If you are like me, I was encouraged to be still even while moving.

What does God say about being a man?  Millennials are picked on for being soft (which they are), but God’s definition of a man is not how we typically visualize a “real” man.
