Mathew 7-7:8

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh. findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

First ask yourself what you really want in life, or what am I doing right now that is really screwing things up.  I think if you ask that question seriously the answer is easy.  So, take that a step further and imagine your life, manifested in the best way possible.  Imagine the life you want for someone that you care for.  What does that look like?  If you’re like me these answers are probably not the ones want, but at the least they are what you need.  How do you get to thing you seeketh?  Well, that depends on you.  You must first knock on the door before it can be opened.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’m coming up on my one year wedding anniversary. I have been divorced at a young age so i have really leaned into my marriage and am trying to be a better husband every day. Looked into the Q Source for some wisdom on marriage. Couple of great quotes:

The Key to the meaning of life ” Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love” King Solomon

There is no 50 yrd line in your marriage, meeting your M halfway is not good enough. A HIM must drive the ball the full length of the field, regardless if your M ever breaks the huddle.

The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does matters.
MOLESKIN:

Great to have Brown Shorts out from F3 Greenville SC

Being part of a group can help push you when you aren’t feeling it. This morning was like that for me. I slept poorly and likely would have slept in had I not had this group to come to. I’m blessed to have such HIMs in my life
