CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We all have something that wakes up up from time to time or something that keeps us awake. Turn to Matthew 6 when you are heavy laden with worries of this world.

Matthew 6

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
MOLESKIN:
A word from Wendell Berry about peace in the midst of what worries you.

“The Peace of Wild Things”

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
***Attention! I’m looking at putting a t-shirt order together. We’d need 12 shirts to be ordered before they would ship so I’m trying to judge interest amongst the PAX. I feel like there are enough guys like myself that have started in the last few months that would want a shirt or two. Send me a message on GroupMe if you’d like one and I’ll determine if there is enough interest.***

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This Q was all about keeping the PAX together and charging up the hill side by side.  I was trying to relate this to friendship and keeping your friends close.

Like the Stone of Wisdom, friendship may be lying right in your back yard and you may never know it.  Your best friend may be a stranger to you, or you may lose him because you didn’t bother to hold him.  Friends must be cultivated by sincerity, frankness, and deeds of affection.  No one can remain your friend if you hide your soul from him.  You needn’t save face before your friend.  Your friend will save it for you.

Life is a chain of little events.  Close your soul to your friend, and he will lose sight of you.  And if you find your friend, give of your friendship and it will return to you tenfold.  Those who cannot give friendship will rarely receive it and never hold it.                             -Dagobert D. Runes

 

Go often to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.     -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
  The bliss of growth
  The glory of action
  The splendor of achievement,
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And tomorrow is a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn.
                                                      -Kalidasa

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Galatians 5:13-14 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

This week we celebrate America’s birthday and the freedom that comes with it. We are lucky to have the freedom we have, use it for good.
