CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Community is a necessity. My M and her Bible study are doing an entire study on how to “finds your people.”

For HIMs it’s much easier. To have community you have to put yourself out there for sure. Like Ms. Lippy taught you, if you want to have a friend, be a friend.

More than anything, you can’t have community without BEING THERE. Be present, be involved. Post. Sign up to Q. Take the flag for a spell.

MOLESKIN:
I was dog tired before we started, and lying in a ditch tired when we were finished. Thanks to the men for the push

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak.  We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.  We are far too easily pleased.”

CS Lewis – “The Weight Of Glory”
MOLESKIN:

Don’t take Christ’s sacrifice for granted.  Accept the gift and take the holiday at the sea!

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gently and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  Matthew 11: 28-30

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
1 – make Easter meaningful this year.  The culmination of events that occurred on this week so many years ago is the most important happening in all of human history.  Don’t overlook it.  Understand and appreciate the sacrifice that was made, and consider Jesus’s invitation to “come to me”.

2 – Big props to all the Men who’ve toughed it out through the winter months.  As the temps increase so will the size of the COT.  Give yourself a pat on the back if you’ve maintained consistency throughout the cold season.
