5 PAX.  Ribbed left early because he had “a meeting,” which he first mentioned during the burpees, so . . . .

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’m still trying to be positive.  I’ve cut out the news and focused on my inner circle.  In noticing my kids grow up, I’m sad that the time has gone by so quickly and that they are not little anymore.  I’m trying to be happy because those times happened and these times are happening now and not sad because those times are gone.  I’m trying to look at the last year not as a lost year of our usual events but as a pause year – a year of slowing down and taking everything in at that moment that we might have otherwise been too busy to fully appreciate.  It’s not always easy to do.  Like I said, I’m trying.

”Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”  Galatians 6:9.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife and Doubtfire (separately, not together – that would be weird)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
I’m sure there is something, but we couldn’t think of anything at the time.

1 Timothy 2:1–6

[1] First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, [2] for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. [3] This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, [4] who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. [5] For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, [6] who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. (ESV)
