Discussed January and the notoriously high rate of suicides this time of year.  Pay attention to those around you and be someone who is willing to be “in the fire” with a brother who is struggling.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 “I call Heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore, choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants; to love the Lord your God. To obey His voice, and to cling to Him; for he is your life, and the length of your days;

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Word for the year is something I’ve used for the last few years. 2020 was Celebrate, proof that God has a sense of humor. I had an idea of what Celebrate was going to look like and it was completely changed. What did happen though is at times it became a rallying cry during hard times. I could ask myself, “What is there to celebrate, even though the whole world is on fire?”. It also led to a Family dinner ritual that my daughter calls Happy/Crappy’s. We name 3 things we are Happy about from the week and 1 thing that was Crappy. It was important for us to not glaze over the struggles from the week too. This year, my word is Freedom. I have an idea of what that might look like but, I guarantee that God also has an idea of that will look like!!

Happy New Year!!!

How great is our God?
The super computer “Summit”  in Oak Ridge is able to spit out answers to 200 quadrillion calculations per second. It is the size of two tennis courts and takes 4000 gallons of water per minute to pump through its coolant system so it doesn’t overheat.
Man made this. God made man. You do the calculation. God is bigger than any of our problems.

MOLESKIN:

Mayberry joined us at the end to go over some really good reminders of how we need to be acting at the workouts. We all enjoy each other‘s company and love to joke around but sometimes we can get out of hand with some of the crude comments and language. The dog pound is a great AO, but we can always improve. Also, we need to do a better job with FNGs and new guys to make them feel welcome.
