CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I encourage you brothers to go!  Find an adventure!  Do big what you don’t know or haven’t done before.

Don’t be like me – stuck in the familiar; losing my sense of adventure; forgetting the joy and power adventure brings to life.

Be “Wild at Heart” as John Eldredge describes it.

….and share it (the adventure and your wildness) with your loved ones and kids.

….so they won’t forget – your adventures together and how to be wild at heart themselves.
MOLESKIN:
Be in prayer for @Slide Rule and his family, as the Lord called his mother home this week.

God forgives sin and wipes it from his memory when you believe in him and his redemption of our sins and ask for forgiveness. Stop dwelling on previous sins and know you have been forgivin and move forward.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

From the book, “Fight: Winning the Battles That Matter Most”, by Craig Groeschel, God has given us each a heart of a warrior. An inward, natural desire to stand up for what’s pure and true.  A warrior must have a cause to fight for or he will find the wrong thing to fight against.  You may not think of yourself as a warrior. You’re laid back. Everything is cool, no worries.  You may think you don’t even have a reason to fight.  Well, consider this.  “You’re already in a fight, whether you know it or not. Your spiritual enemy wants to take you out.  He’s a master at making strong men weak.  Sometimes he does that by making us comfortable, secure, and safe, resigned to a mediocre life because it’s familiar and doesn’t require much from us.  Is that really how you want to live?”  –Craig Groeschel

Remember this… God is in the business of making weak men strong.  He will equip his warriors with strength and purpose if we call on him.

15 HIM’s Got Better today!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“The Master in the Art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly know which is which. He simply pursues his vision of EXCELLENCE at whatever he does. Leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To H.I.M. he is always doing both.”

Aspects of our life can sometimes feel like drudgery. Going to work, coming home, working out, etc. If we are truly PURSUING EXCELLENCE in all that we do, we  should never experience this drudgery.

MOLESKIN:
