CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone were two prominent British politicians in the 1800’s, but bitter rivals. A journalist had dinner with both and commented how Disraeli ‘made her feel like the most brilliant woman in all of London’. Disraeli was an effective leader because he possess charisma and could bring out the best in people

‘The greatest good you can do for another is not to just share you riches, but to reveal to him his own’
MOLESKIN:
Due to poor explaining, a select few got extra melungins in. Kudos to them for over achieving!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared the other magazine/paper clip that I carry in my wallet.  A few weeks ago I shared the one that I have been carrying around for 50+ years.  This one is relatively new; it came from the newspaper in January 1999.

“America first proclaimed its independence on the basis of self-evident truths.  America will remain a beacon of freedom for the world as long as it stands by those moral truths which are the very heart of its historical experience.  And so America:  If you want peace, work for justice.  If you want justice, defend life.  If you want life, embrace truth – truth revealed by God.”              Pope John Paul II, St. Louis, MO  January 1999

Excellent words to ponder.

    Ps. 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Over the last several months I have greatly dropped off the amount of time I have spent reading the Word. This is just like walking down a dark path/hallway with a flashlight in my pocket but being to lazy or preoccupied with something else to pull it out and use it to know where to go/what to do. God has given us an incredible privilege and blessing of being able to hear Him speak every day, anytime we want to by giving us his Word. Read it and listen to Him!
