Thanksgiving is great time to bring to the forefront what we’re thankful for. I believe this PAX does a great job of that week in and week out. Today I’m thankful for this PAX. You men have really helped bear my burdens and I’m thankful to be a part of this group.
MOLESKIN:
WaxJob, again, decided to show up shirtless. And never complained. Split Jack’s were renamed Jane Fonda’s by Ribbed. The PAX were treated to Jocko’s psychological warfare and other classic workout tunes. Plus we had a couple of travelers T-Pimp, Choir Boy and Spam made the journey out this morning. Also Mayberry said he would be back for seconds. #EarnTheBird

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

PATIENCE – One of the major issues I have is my lack of patience.  This is true for many different things whether we are talking about dealing with people I know, the general public, neighbors, sports, etc.  Lately, I feel like my patience is being tested constantly and God is letting me know that I have a lot more work that I need to do.

Colossians 3:12 – Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Romans 12:12 – Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Joshua 24:14-15.  Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness.  Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.  But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.  But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

Choices matter.  Make wise choices for you and your family today.

MOLESKIN:
Props to Waxjob for showing up early with his leaf blower to clean off the pavalon.  T-claps bro!
