CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Mark 12 – love others as yourself

How well do you love yourself?

Do you offer yourself grace when you fail or do you hold yourself to an impossible standard?

Does your self-talk build you up or does it tear you down?

Are you critical or encouraging?

Bottom line: if you loved others the way you love yourself, would they be better for it? If not, maybe it’s time for us to re-evaluate how well we are loving ourselves.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Proverbs 19:21 — “Many are the plans in the mind of a manbut it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.”

A verse I’m guessing many of us have become familiar with recently.  Regardless of what you think about all that is going on with COVID-19 (I’m sure we all have a plethora of opinions), I encouraged the guys to let it be a humbling experience.  God is sovereign, He frustrates the plans of the nations (Psalm 33:10), He works all things for our good, and He alone is self-sufficient.  We are all dependent creatures whose every minute and day is in the hands of the Lord.  Let’s submit to His will, His plan, and stay humble.  Let’s learn to say “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that” (James 4:15).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Giving 110% in everything you do. It’s funny how we can plan and talk a big talk about doing the best we can but seldom follow through with it. This break has I understand how fortunate I am your job and how I need to be giving more effort. Not just for myself, but so I can leave a legacy of my ethics to my kids and friends. Write the workout this morning I saw in front Imagine Dragons called Warriors came  on. Fit perfectly with what I was thinking and sharing. Here are the lyrics.

“As a child you would wait
And watch from far away
But you always knew that you’d be the one
That work while they all play
In youth you’d lay
Awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change
But it was just a dream!
Here we are, don’t turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don’t turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
Will come
When you’ll have to rise
Above the best and prove yourself
Your spirit never dies!
Farewell, I’ve gone to take my throne above
But don’t weep for me
‘Cause this will be
The labor of my love
Here we are, don’t turn away now
We are the…“

MOLESKIN:

It was really great to get back out in the gloom with the PAX. I haven’t done much since I’ve been out so I’m sure I’ll be sore. But it’s worth it….it always is.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
There is a whole lot of uncertainty floating around in the news and it’s creating a whole lot of fear. We can’t see the future nor can we influence things like pandemic illness. We can, however, wake up every day and be a leader. We can lead our family, our friends, and our peers with a calm, steadfast discipline. Focus on the items you can control, and the rest will work itself out.
MOLESKIN:
It was great to see Gus and A-di-das make appearances today!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
