THE SCENE:
38 degrees, the air was fresh. I started to unload and noticed some a-hole had busted a glass bottle in the parking lot where we circle up. Laettner rolled up shortly thereafter and helped clean-up.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I was introduced to a Christian motivational speaker named Zig Ziglar back in 2019, and have since been interested in his material. As a new year has started, I thought it would be fitting to go through Zig’s 7 steps of goal setting:
- Identify the goal, if you don’t have a target, you can’t hit it. Be specific.
- List the benefits. Personal benefits will create motivation.
- List the obstacles to overcome. Knowing what you could possibly face means you can plan for it.
- List the skills and knowledge required. Knowledge gives us the capacity to accomplish things we would otherwise not know to do, but skills give us the tools to take advantage of our knowledge. Knowing and doing is a powerful combination, especially if they are mastered.
- Identify the people and groups to work with. Don’t be afraid to seek out help from others who can help you be successful.
- Develop a plan of action. Be specific.
- Set a deadline.
MOLESKIN:
We prayed for Kim, Evan Almighty’s wife. They are expecting their son to arrive this week. We also prayed for safety and a peaceful transition of Presidential power as Joe Biden will be inaugurated this week.
