COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

15 HIMS & 1 FNG, Bypass, were in the gloom:  Bagger, Bartman, Bypass, Cheatsheet, Detention, Doubtfire, Erector, Rocket, Snaggletooth, Spotter, Stye, Teller, Vagabond, Waxjob, and Booster

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I want to thrive in everything I do…being a Dad and husband, friend, etc.  I want to help families battling cancer through my charity.  I want to know and share the Bible.  However, I feel like I’m barely staying above water in my life…I’m good but not great and I’m frustrated as a result!

Yesterday, I heard Thrive by the Casting Crowns TWICE.  After I heard it the first time, my mind kept racing and I didn’t know why.  After I heard it on the way back from the zoo, I realized what it was…I’m just surviving, not thriving!  I hope and pray you and your loved ones thrive in everything you do so we can make this world a better place for everyone!

Read these words and listen to this great song!  Blessings to you and your family this Christmas and always!

Just to know You and to make You known
We lift Your name on High
Shine like the sun made darkness run and hide
We know we were made for so much more
Than ordinary lives
It’s time for us to more than just survive
We were made to thrive
