CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I named each corner of the lap we ran as family members. We went to each turn of the lap together, did the workout together. We fought to be present, stay together, enjoy, put in the work. I encourage everyone during the holiday’s to fight to be present, have a great attitude, change your perspective. This could be the last holiday with any of your family members so be present and make some good memories that can last a lifetime.

Quote from “Spiritual Leadership” by Oswald Sanders.  “Leaders must draw the best out of people, and friendship does that far better than prolonged argument or mere logic.”

Just by being here you all tend to draw out the best in me.  If we want to influence others in any way, we need to cultivate relationships instead of just telling them what we thing they should do.  Friendships are the foundation of inspiring others to be better.
MOLESKIN:
Pray for Jenners friend who lost a loved one recently.  Also pray for Cowbells family with their new baby.
