This week I had a flurry of events personally. My brother (Truffle) and his wife just had twins, my parents were in from out of state, bball is in full swing. I kept focusing on the next task that needed to be accomplished amidst everything going on and by week’s end I realized that I had done a very poor job of just soaking up the moment and enjoying it to the fullest.  Always be present in the moment!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We get great words to live by and apply to our lives. It took just over one hour on Thursday to completely forget the words Tractor gave us Thursday morning. “If Jesus was standing behind us, would you be embarrassed by the conversation or words that you were having/using?”. I had a homeless man throw a full two liter bottle of soda off the Gay Street bridge onto my work truck which dented the roof and scared the crap out of me. I came “unglued” and let the man know my displeasure. It is alright to be angry, however the words I used to express my anger should not be coming out of my mouth. I need to apply what I hear and know to my life. Control my tongue and keep my head during stress filled situations. Application is just as important as hearing the words given to us in the morning.
