Circle of Trust
Today is my 52nd birthday. Every time I hit a milestone event, like a birthday, I pause and think about what life has presented me in the prior year. My oldest son graduated from high school, went away to college, and is doing very well. Our daughter began high school, is rocking her grades, and excelling on the golf course and basketball court. And our youngest is doing well in junior high and loving baseball and basketball. At the same time, my father was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s, I’ve had to take over the affairs of my aunt who is estranged from the rest of the family, and I’ve been supporting a brother who is going through a divorce.
We have no idea what life is going to bring our way. I do a devotional every morning, and this week I’ve been contemplating a verse from 2 Timothy that seems appropriate: For the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)
On my birthday, I remember that I am God’s handiwork and he has created me to do great things. I must spend every day seeking the path that He has laid out for me.
Prayers were said for Boy Sandwich and his M Yesenia, baby Selah, and the people of Turkey and Syria who have been impacted by the earthquake.

Qing an F3 workout is always my favorite way to kick off a special day. Thanks to those brothers that were able to make it out to support me, especially T-dub, who covered my 6.
