COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 PAX this morning, not including the maniac who came streaking out of the woods.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I struggled with motivation at work yesterday. I certainly didn’t give it my all. As I lay in bed reflecting, Colossians 3:23 came to mind: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” I was working for men yesterday, and men who I didn’t feel necessarily deserved “hearty” effort at the. But the Lord deserves such all the time.

MOLESKIN:
YHC arrived early with a plan to set up some laps at the track. Hopped out of the car and dug around in the back for my cones. Where are they? Oh… I left them at Shamrock last time I Qd over there. Crap. Time to audible!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
11 came out to kick Thursday square in the jaw.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My mother in law passed away from Alzheimers a couple of weeks ago. As the disease progressed and took more of her mind, she forgot who anyone was. But she never forgot the Lord, and still talked to Him and about Him to all of us. At her Celebration of Life service, we played the old hymn “It Is Well”, because even until the end she knew that it was well with her soul. Ended the COT by singing that hymn.
MOLESKIN:
Terribly sorry about being late. But those 48s would have been a bit crazier if I hadn’t turned around for a pit stop.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
So much to do! 2.0 workout next weekend, Off the Chain next month. Sign up!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We talked about the impact our words can have on the people around us.

It was a pleasure to be in the gloom with a group of HIMs that do such a great job engaging in community, stepping up to lead, and checking in with each other.

Thanks to Mermaid for trading places for a day.
