CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today was choose your own adventure day.  We all have choices to make and those choices have good or bad consequences.  The food we eat, the way we spend money, do we seek regular medical care, etc.  Think about the choices you make this week, and the consequences of those.
Galatians 5:13-14
You were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only don’t let this freedom be an opportunity to indulge your selfish impulses, but serve each other through love.  All the law has been fulfilled in a single statement: “Love your neighbor as yourself”.

MOLESKIN:
Pray for the Knox County Administrators as they report back to work this week.  Pray for an unspoken for Schoolzone.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Malcolm Gladwell – Outliers. All about success. Great book.

Lays his points out through a series of really interesting vignettes—quick read. (Or listen)

Closes the book with this:

“The successful are those who have been given opportunities and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them.”

Reflect on the opportunities we’ve been given and how different life could have been 

Reflect on how well you’re leading yourself right now

But also reflect on who you know, who has what it takes to succeed and just needs an opportunity.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Phil 2:4.  I had an experience the other day where God put somebody in my path and counseled me to be patient and listen to what they wanted to say more than to their words.  I tend to hurry conversations along, pulling only information I think is important for me to do what I think I need to do.  What God wants me to do is listen more so I can spot times when I might be able to help somebody.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Rainbow’s friend Paul, who is struggling right now; for Waxjob’s family and mother-in-law Karen, who is close to the end of her earthly journey; and prayers for Snag and his Dad.
