COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
10 PAX this morning, including FNG Unibrau (Nick Robinson)
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
1 Timothy 2:1-4:
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior

Looking around at what is going on with our leaders today, there’s not much you can describe as dignified in any way. However, no matter which side of the current issues you come down on, one thing we all have in common is that we’re called to pray for those who are in high positions. Notice, even thanksgivings is in that list of what we’re supposed to make for all people. Remember that God’s ultimately in charge, and He’s the one we’re responsible to.
MOLESKIN:
The grass this morning had a pleasant herby, minty sort of smell. Very refreshing when you’re nose-deep doing hand-release Merkins…
