Psalm 143:8 – Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.  Show me that way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
MOLESKIN:
I failed to mention this while catching my breath and delivering the BOM, but I came across this verse while reading a devotional called Swing Thoughts which applies golf lingo to Christian life.  The book was talking about the benefit of warming up with a bucket of balls, and equated a routine of closeness with the Lord with  a warm up for whatever life might throw at you.  We do that at F3.  By the time most of the city wakes up we’ve already risen, grinded, laughed, joked, shared, and prayed.  We’ve hit our bucket of balls and are more ready for the “round” than we would have been otherwise.  Never skip warm up.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Coffee-teria all week next week.  Be there.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ockham’s Razor is the principle that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily, which is often translated into “the simplest solution is usually the correct one.”  Look for simplicity.  Also known as, the K.I.S.S. method – keep it simple stupid.  Enjoy the simplicity.  See, e.g., Proverbs 16:8 (“Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.”).

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Pat and her family for the loss of Cory, for Aladdin and his work family and the trying year that they have had, Ribbed’s wife, the blood drive, and the brothers participating in Hardship Hill.
