CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We are getting ready to start VBS at my church tomorrow. I am teaching the missions class to the 1st-5th graders this week and I have had missions on my mind this week. We often think about missions as going to some far off place like China, Africa, or South America. The truth is mission start right where we are now. Our first mission field is our family. We must lead our wives and children first before we lead anywhere else.

MOLESKIN:
Praise that Drifter’s kids are feeling better, pray for Smuggler’s wife as she starts a new job on Monday, pray for Rep Sleepy’s family as his wife prepares to quit her job to be a stay at home mom in August.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Insert information about upcoming events, 2nd or 3rd F opportunities, and any other announcements.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Proverbs 13:20 – “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” Be ware the company we keep.  This advice is talked about for kids and teens, but it applies to adults as well.  Who we are around will influence our thoughts, words, and actions.  We need each other to love each other well enough to tell the truth, to carry us when we are wounded, and to celebrate each others victories.  We also need to be mindful of the influence that we can be on others, especially on our spouses and kids.  If you don’t like what you see in your loved ones, it might be coming from us.  Ended with a thought from a man I respect, “The sins you commit in moderation now your kids will commit in excess.”  This calls for a humble fight every day men, and I’m glad to fight it with you guys.

The Word / Prayer

Today I felt like there wasn’t anything very inspirational I could share.  Instead I decided to focus more on the prayer.  It seemed more important.  Thanks 🙂

Dear Lord, This morning we pray that you give us strength.  Please make us strong for you in this world.  We know that there are struggles that we will face today.  Please be with us, and give us strength when we are too weak, Amen.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My wife and I are taking off in an RV to travel the country soon. While out there, I’m going to need to find a way to hold myself accountable and be self disciplined in my workouts. I talk about self discipline a lot but it’s very important to me. Pretty much nothing good can come without self discipline. The best things we can do start from within and take work to come to fruition.
