COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 strong today!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Perspective… Part 2.  As I mentioned to the JUCO crew, when you’re on the mosey for a lap, you don’t even notice the distance from the game board to the light pole.  While you’re bear crawling to the pole, it looks a lot further.  While you’re crawling backward, the distance looks nearly insurmountable.  We all have areas and times in our life when we’ve got those different perspectives.  When you’re in a “mosey” stage, remember that not everyone is there.  Give grace to those who are at the backward bear crawl.
MOLESKIN:
Always a pleasure to visit the Brickyardigans!  Filter joined us too so he could get his beatdown in early and get home for his 2.0’s birthday.  Kudos on not using that as an excuse to fartsack!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers. 

We are not always in the position of leadership and it is easy to criticize those that are over us. We do it a lot with politicians, bosses, church leaders. Do not fall into the trap of being a scoffer. A scoffer cannot find happiness in anything. Remember who you are and that you serve the Creator of all things. Encourage those around you at work and at home.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In the book, We Were Soldiers Once and Young, grace was extended to the enemy NVA killed by US forces.   They too extended hope that there bones were recovered from the battlefield and taken home to an honorable burial.  Only grace can have this kind of affect on people who gunned down your brethren.

MOLESKIN:
BOM endorsed by Philippians 2:3-4.

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each other esteem others better than himself.  Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but for the interests of others.”
