CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The struggle between light and darkness is real. But it’s not between two “sides” of the same coin. Light and darkness are opposites. And the light is not just one side of some impersonal “Force”. The Light is a person.

John 1:3-9
All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

MOLESKIN:
So I got this Chewbacca onesie about a month ago. Thought it would be great for a Halloween Q. Surely by October it’ll be cold enough to wear this thing. So I committed. And then it was 70 degrees. Hope the smell washes out…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When US Marines eat together, the Officers and Senior Leaders eat last and often serve their subordinates food before they finally get to eat (if there is enough food left).  This is a symbol and demo of their servant leadership philosophy.  What kind of leader are you? Do you go home after a long day and expect to be served? Or are you serving? When you sit down with your family to eat, are you the first to order or fill your plate? Or do you take care of your wife and children first? When entering a restaurant with coworkers, are you rushing to get in the order line? Or are you holding the door so others can go? Leadership sometimes can be a simple act – you don’t need words.

Talked about the Iron Cowboy, he ran 50 Iron Man Triathlons, in 50 Days, in 50 states. Biggest take away is what’s hard for me is hard for me and what’s hard for you is hard for you. He told this to a fan who was in awe of his accomplishment.
