CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Have the right perspective when things go wrong.  My A/C went out in my house and it’s going to be expensive to fix.  While I don’t like spending a ton of money unexpectedly, it’s not the end of the world.   My family still has a roof over their head, clothing on their body and food to eat.  As leaders in our home we need to remember that our wives and kids are looking at us to see how we handle adversity.  We need to show them that they are the priority, not material possessions.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

In the spirit of Father’s Day weekend, I’m reminded of what it means not only to be a father but also what it means to be a son of God. I believe that I’ve been saved and that God loves me unconditionally, but I fail to live that way each day.

When we feel like we’re falling short, failing, or still struggling in various aspects of our lives where we think we should be better, it’s easy to forget that our heavenly Father still loves us just the same as when we’re standing on the mountaintop. Instead, we can quickly revert to a worldly way of thinking – that somehow God doesn’t love us as much when we’re stumbling or that His love and grace couldn’t possibly be vast enough to cover over our multitudes of sin. But that’s simply not the case.

“But when the time had fully come, God sent his son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, ‘Abba, Father’. So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has also made you also an heir.” Galatians 4:4-7

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

3 men today for the ruck but several others were out there taking care of business with their HTL training (Cap’n Crunch, A-Rod, Abort, and Pfeiffer).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Not much of a BOM this morning, but we enjoyed the fellowship along the ruck. Lots of good mumblechatter about favorite flavors of Gatorade and Powerade (amazing how those conversations start when you’re dead tired and thirsty). In the spirit of Father’s Day weekend, we’re all thankful we have the privilege of being Dads – make the most of the moments you have with your kids and be intentional with your families.

Switch on your Brain – Mind Over Matter

2 Timothy 1:7 – God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind.   This islLinked to the concept that we are wired for love and natural optimism.

  • Our thought life actually changes our DNA. Thinking and feeling fear, anger, and frustration caused DNA to change shape.  Tightened up, became shorter, and switched off quality expression so individuals in turn felt shut down
  • We can control our reactions to anything
  • Stress level 1 is normal and brings focus. Level 2 and 3 become toxic
  • American Institute of Health Estimates that75-90% of visits to primary care are for stress related problems
  • We cannot control events or circumstances, but you can control your actions.
  • Good news is that this can be reversed by feelings of love, Joy appreciation and gratitude
    • HIV Positive patients that were positive had 300,000 time more resistance than negative patients

 When we operate in our normal love design in God’s image we are able to change the shape of our DNA forever.
