CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We all need to keep perspective.  It has been a long week for an Election Day, which has been called by some the most important election ever.  Someone says that every election.  Whatever happens with this or any other election, it is still better than what we had under a king or queen sitting on a throne.  As Cersei said to Ned Stark, “When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.  There is no middle ground.”  At least we don’t have that anymore.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife, Lillydipper’s wife, Mr. Jinxy’s wife, and the family of Pondzi’s colleague who committed suicide.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Let’s be proactive about walking in the good works prepared for us by God.  We’re not saved by works, but by grace. But we are saved to walk in good works to love others and glorify God.  It’s a great time (as always) to serve people, talk to them face-to-face, get involved in their life, and help.

Ephesians 2:10 — 10 For fwe are his workmanship, gcreated in Christ Jesus hfor good works, iwhich God prepared beforehand, jthat we should walk in them.”

Proverbs 3:27 —“ rDo not withhold good from those to whom it is due,5when it is in your power to do it.”

Galatians 6:10 — “10 So then, gas we have opportunity, let us hdo good to everyone.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I came across this life lesson from a book: “I’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.”

We cannot control what others say or do.  We can only control what we say and do.  Our words and actions should outshine and overcome what others may say about or do to us.

Prayers for Ribbed’s wife and Lillydipper’s wife
