CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
10% of us is visible to the whole world.  The other 90% (everything that goes on in our hearts and minds) is only known to us and God.  Is there stuff going on in our 90% that we want changed?  If so, working harder and trying to come up with the power on our own to change the big stuff that needs to be changed is a fruitless, exhausting effort that most likely won’t work.  The answer:  “Desperate Prayer”.  Go to God in authentic surrendered desperation and ask Him to release His Spirit to work in you – get specific on what you want changed, and get desperate, and do it regularly, and see what happens.  Praise Him.
MOLESKIN:
Pray for Mayberry’s family, Praise for Ratchet’s parents

Brief Word this morning… This weekend was a but hectic as we had my niece and nephew for a visit. They lost their mother unexpectedly last July. Just a reminder to pour yourself into the lives of others, and especially cherish that time with your loved ones. Only God knows how long they will be with us. Don’t miss an opportunity to tell them you love them.
MOLESKIN:
Not sure my fingertips have ever been colder than when holding those coupons this morning. Great teamwork by the PAX on the Dora 1,2,3!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As you can tell I turn 40 today which means I have had many years to do the things I wanted to do.  I haven’t got them all done, but I have been fortunate to do quite a few.  In the same sense my 90 year old grandmother is currently lying in a hospital and most likely going to hospice.  I do not think she got to do all the things she wanted to do.  I think she has led a good and happy life, but I think there was other things, other adventures, or other experiences that she wanted to do.  Let this be a reminder to all of you do not put off the things you want to do until later.  We are not guaranteed any definite time on this earth, so make the most of it.  Hug your wives and kids, but also get out there and live your life.

 

Also welcome Abscess Jr…. aka Sleepwalker.

As someone who has struggled with depression I challenge all HIMs to seek those who may struggle with these disease.  A lot of times you may not realize they are going thru this.  So this holiday season talk to your family, friends, co-workers, and your kids.  Say hello to those you may not necessarily hang out or talk to.  A simple hello can be such a powerful gesture.  If someone you suspect is going thru depression invite them to church or an F3 workout.  I have been blessed to have been led to  F3 knoxville.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

    CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
    It is good to remember that often, ideas have people, not that people have ideas. Be careful when making decisions to avoid falling into the trap of attempting to justify decisions after making them.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS:
