CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The Simon and Garfunkel album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme was released in October 1966.  Silent Night/7 O’Clock News is one of the tracks.  It starts with the duo singing Silent Night and soon into the song a broadcaster starts to present the top headlines of the day. There is mention of antiwar protests, civil rights marches, calling in the National Guard, mass murders by Richard Speck, suicide by comedian Lenny Bruce, and messages of political dispute.  In the midst of the beautiful singing of Silent Night, the listener realizes that there never seems to be one.

The reality of this broken world is that there never will be a night without strife and turmoil and greed and disagreement and pain and sorrow.  Only when Jesus comes again will all of this be wiped away.  The good news is that we are all able to cope with the worlds brokenness when we lay our troubles at the feet of our Savior.  We can only have a silent night when we rest in His arms.

The challenge for us is to take the time and do this.  Rest in His arms if only for a short time.  Do it with your family and loved ones.  Carve out that time this Christmas season and then try to make a habit of it.

Back to the Basics

Vince Lombardi, the great Green Bay Packers coach, was famous for his commitment to the basics. He started every football season by holding up a ball and telling his team, who were professional athletes, “This, gentlemen, is a football.” Then the team spent the first two weeks doing nothing but learning again how to block and tackle. 

When we go through times of confusion like the year 2020, sometimes the best remedy is to go back to the basics. We all need wisdom and discernment in confusing situations to know where we are, where we need to go, and how to get there. 

In Psalm 90, Moses gives us directions. He takes us back to the basics. He led God’s people from Egypt through the wilderness to the edge of the Promised Land.  

He summarizes a life of wisdom in six brief principles: God is great (vv. 1-2), life is short (vv. 3-6), sin is serious (vv. 7-11), wisdom is essential (v. 12), mercy is available (vv. 13-15), and success is possible (vv. 16-17).  

If God is great, relating to him rightly is of highest importance. If life is short, the most sensible thing we can do is live in light of eternity. If sin is serious, eliminating it from our lives is vital. If we embrace wisdom, our priorities shift; we learn to invest our lives rather than spend them. If mercy is available, we can choose to receive it in abundance and live in freedom and joy. And if success really is possible, God will provide opportunities for us to impact our world for good. 

These principle bring clarity to our direction and enable us to live with purpose and fruitfulness. They are the basics that lead us into understanding. They allow us to recognize where we are and equip us to get to wherever we need to go in life.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Much has been written about the importance of male friendships. Research shows that men with emotionally intimate male friendships are healthier, and there’s some evidence that they have deeper romantic relationships, are more engaged parents, and perform better at work. They also live longer – social isolation can be deadlier than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
MOLESKIN:
If you got 5 rounds you did 575 reps and almost 2.5 miles.
