CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Pace yourself.  Don’t hurt yourself by overextending yourself.  I’ve been doing a lot of remodeling around my house lately and still posting regularly for workouts which has me exhausted and beat up.  It’s OK to take a rest day.  Your body needs rest occasionally.   Listen to it.

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.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I recently heard something on the radio that absolutely pierced my heart.  The speaker asked the following question:  If God answered every one of the prayers you’ve prayed over the past few months and gave you everything you’ve asked for, who’s life would be changed other than your own?  That hit me hard because I can be extremely selfish in my prayer life and focus on only myself and my problems.  As a Christian man I need to be more intentional about praying for Gods will in other people’s lives.  Who are you praying for intentionally?  Your wife?  Your kids?  Your boss?  Co-workers?  Missionaries?  When you pray is there a selfish motive behind what you’re asking for?  Christ tells us to pray for His will to be done.  My goal is to remember that when I come before the Lord in prayer.  Also to remember who I’m talking to and that there is a much bigger world out there that needs a loving savior the same as I do.

MOLESKIN:
Paula Abdul may have become the most hated woman on the planet this morning.   She really brought out the mumblechatter!
