CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As you know, pi is a number whose decimal representation has infinite digits. Today’s beatdown worked through just 32 of them, but it’s been calculated out to over 22 trillion digits and of course it just keeps on going. Just as we could never work out through the entire representation of pi, we could never comprehend or experience the entire fullness of God’s love and grace toward us. If you get a little twinge of sore muscles at some point today, let that remind you to be thankful we didn’t go to 22 trillion digits, but even more to be thankful for His infinite goodness.
MOLESKIN:
Apologies to Squiggly and Moses… I didn’t feel on my game much this morning and they did just about all the Dora reps. Hopefully just coming down off the Halloween sugar high.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Several years ago I started to pray, very innocently and ignorantly, that God would remove anything that comes between he and I. I prayed that he would take this decade of my life and tear me down to the foundation if he needed to.  He has since and is still dismantling me and humbling me and teaching me and at times it is down right painful. Asking him to show me my agreements (lies that come out of my hurts and woundings) is one way he is teaching me. Another is through images that he gives us in scripture.  I like to hunt and be in the woods so this image I have been given lately that I can’t get out of mind takes place perhaps in the wilderness. Iit comes from Jeremiah 6:16 “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it”. In my mind I am looking around and I am so busy that I can’t see what is right in front of me, what has been there the whole time.  I can’t see this slightly hidden but well beaten path unless I slow down and take my time, unless I engage, unless I remove the unnecessary things from my life. I am reminded that there are no short cuts. I have to push back the agreement that I make that says, “You are 35 and what do you have to show for it. Work harder, worry more, prove yourself” and believe that this time in my life is a time to take the low seat at the table. To purposefully choose what sometimes looks backwards to the world because I am not fighting for the top spot at the table. I am in search of the narrow gate Matthew 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.  For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few”. I want to find and take the ancient path to the narrow gate. I want to be led to life. There is a way that has been made for me. I am pleased and honored to be on this path with you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Six Ethics of Life

  • Before you Pray – Believe

It means not lose sight of the true meaning of worship and prayer.  To many people treat church as a form of entertainment not a means to improve one’s faith and relationship with God.

  • Before you Speak – Listen

To me it is especially important to listen, especially when the conversation is confrontational.  Try to listen to the issue before allowing emotion to take over.

  • Before you Spend – Earn

Avoid burdensome dept or burrowing from others if possible. For me this is not leaving beyond your means.

  • Before you Write – Think

Never write anything you wouldn’t want your mother to read.  Be careful with what you say on social media. Things never go away.

  • Before you Quit – Try

I think we have all got this one.  We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t.

  • Before you Die – Live

Don’t forget to spend time with your friends, family, take time to doing things you enjoy!

Formula for Living:

Live beneath your means

Return everything you borrow

Stop blaming other people

Admit it when you make a mistake

Give clothes not worn to charity

Do something nice and try not to get caught

Listen more; talk less

Every day take a 30 min walk

Strive for excellence, not perfection

Be on time, don’t make excuses

Don’t argue, get organized

Be kind to unkind people

Let someone cut ahead of you in line

Take time to be alone

Cultivate good manners

Be humble

Realize and accept life isn’t fair

Know when to keep your mouth shut

Go an entire day without criticizing anyone

Learn from the past, plan for the future

Live in the present

Don’t sweat the small stuff

It’s all small stuff
