CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Of all the holidays of the year, the most overcommercialized/ignored true meaning (by percentage anyway) has to be All Saints Day. Halloween (All Hallows Eve) has completely taken over to the point that many don’t even know about All Saints Day, which was created to celebrate and honor all those saints who didn’t have their own feast days. Take some time tomorrow personally or with your family to read up on a saint (not necessarily just those recognized by the Catholic Church), either ancient or modern-day, thank God for their example, and be inspired.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
MOLESKIN:
I was amazed by the luck of this group, only pulling three out of ten “Trick” cards…

Prayer. I felt called to exercise my communication with God today. I’m great at praying with my family at the dinner table and with my kids at night before bed. During the day I tend to put God on mute and I always kick myself for not praying more. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18NET

16 Always rejoice, 17 constantly pray, 18 in everything give thanks. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Sparrow (11 years old) called out Cheatsheet (51 years old) for not doing a leg exercise.  Cheatsheet became animated and talked a bunch of trash.  Sparrow challenged Cheatsheet to a race, so after the workout was over, we did about a 100M sprint where Cheatsheet narrowly edged out Sparrow.  Cheatsheet was going crazy, and we reminded him that he beat an 11 year old in a race.  Good times were had by all!!!

John 13:34-35:
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

“One another” doesn’t just mean the people in your circle, it means everyone. Think of someone in your life that is difficult to love, and find a way to show the love of Christ to them today.

Read the lyrics to Switchfoot’s song Where I Belong. This has been resonating with me for the last couple of days…

Feeling like a refugee
Like you don’t belong to me
The colors flash across the sky

This air feels strange to me
Feeling like a tragedy
I take a deep breath and close my eyes
One last time
One last time

Storms on the wasteland
Dark clouds on the plains again
We were born into the fight

But I’m not sentimental
This skin and bones is a rental
And no one makes it out alive

Until I die I’ll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Feels like we’re just waiting, waiting
While are hearts are just breaking, breaking
Feels like we’ve been fighting against the tide

I wanna see the earth start shaking
I wanna see a generation
Finally waking up inside

Until I die I’ll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
A world where I belong

This body’s not my home
This world is not my own
But I still can hear the sound
Of my heart beating out
So let’s go boys, play it loud

And on that final day I die
I want to hold my head up high
I want to tell you that I tried
To live it like a song

And when I reach the other side
I want to look you in the eye
And know that I’ve arrived
In a world where I belong
In a world where I belong
In a world where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong

Where I belong
