CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ecclesiastes 5:18-6:2 –[18] Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot. [19] Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God. [20] For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.  [1] There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind: [2] a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity; it is a grievous evil. (ESV)

MOLESKIN:
Doubtfire dodged a bullet this morning. His back was hurting him and he put out a last-minute post at 4:33 AM asking for coverage. None of us saw the message until after we got started. We were all discussing what we would do to him at the equalizer for missing a Q. We landed on jumping in the water. Fortunately for him he got in the text before. Get better soon Doubtfire!

On another note there was a gentleman there at the flagpole with all kinds of stuff laid out, lights incense rugs etc. He was very friendly, and we invited him to join us next Wednesday.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
