COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 HIM— Osteen, Baby Boomer, Slappy, Mermaid, Trolley, Cheatsheet, Waxjob, Music City
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The HIM is often focused on doing, earning, working, etc. Our greatest need is something we cannot earn, nor work to achieve – our salvation. We have been declared righteous by God because of the one true HIM, Jesus. Eph 2:8-9, 2 Corinthians 5:21.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Where are you invested with your time?  Where you spend your time shows those around where your priorities are.  If you are out of line, like me, then focus your time where it belongs and get back on track.  For me, being more present while home with the wife and kids, as well as doing intentional things on the weekends.  Work sucks up an inordinate amount of time for me, and my family doesn’t need to feel like they are 2nd to work.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Mentioned Dead Poet’s Society movie and the phrase Carpe Diem that took on importance to me as a young adult; Phrase literally means “Pluck the day” but more commonly known for “Sieze the Day”; While a great motto and good mindset to attack each day, I felt it a bit short or misguided unless married with God’s wisdom in James 4; Read James 4:13-16 and noted the important perspective that God is in control and it is wrong to assume on His will; Read Romans 12:2 speaking to how we can know God’s perfect will; so I encouraged the PAX to Sieze the Day – If the Lord wills!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes I can get too focused on ideas, like justification by faith, so that is distracts me from the mission. Johnny Appleseed was a great example of someone who lived and acted without being distracted. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” DO THAT.

    • Sharing struggles, psalm 38 & 39 are brutal.  Raw, gritty. Such is life.  Sandy dirty muddy wet cold. Offer it up to God. Pleading for mercy. Pleading for grace. From Political crazyiness to at home marriage battles – what do we do?  Life and death on the line with Covid.  Are we but a vapor? A smoke? Dust in the wind? Each breath is a gift. Each moment a miracle.  It ain’t pretty. I’m not pretty.  Forgive me for my mess. Please forgive me for my anger.  Thank you for suffering with me today.  You are my brother!
