CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Too often we ignore these words of wisdom from Psalm 118.  We are too busy thinking about tomorrow and where we want to be.  Or we are too consumed wanting that next promotion.  God has put each and every one of us in this place at this moment.  It is our task to make the most of it.  It should be our expectation to do the best we can in the here and now. Do it today, and the future will be ready for us.  And we will be ready for the future.
MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Been out the last week and a half as my kids had COVID. God used that time to show me what I was taking for granted. First was F3, I wouldn’t work out or be who I am if it weren’t for the men of F3. Second was my kids. My girls are 3 and 7 and sometimes I would get annoyed about someone always wanting to sit on my lap or play some crazy game that was made up as we go along. That was until I couldn’t. The night my 7 year of was in tears because she couldn’t hug me really showed how much I take for granted. What are you taking for granted? Ask God to reveal that to you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This weekend my wife got to go on a women’s retreat with some ladies from our church. It, quite honestly, sucked for me because I had to do everything for the kids by myself this weekend. That being said I would absolutely do it again because it is important that we do not neglect the spiritual health of our wives. We are the leaders of our household and need to be willing to do whatever is needed to make sure our families flourish.
