CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: Surrender.
“Surrender is the proof of conviction. Surrender is the proof of a convicted life.”
The above leads me to this question; where and what am I surrendering in my life that is proof of my convictions? In F3 we surrender the comfort of our fartsack, our time, and our isolation to combat ‘sad clown syndrome’. Pretty easy to see the surrender in what we do in the early a.m. Now let’s dig deeper, get a little more uncomfortable.
I strongly believe that abortion is the holocaust of our generation(s). How could the Nazi party murder millions of Jews, eastern Europeans, mentally ill, and other minority groups? How were some people complacent in this? What did professed Christ followers do or not do during the holocaust? History is 20/20
Now, what am I surrendering to match my conviction that abortion is murder? Am I volunteering at a pro-life clinic? Am I supporting single moms, orphans, foster kids? Do I foster? Do I adopt? Am I identifying a young pregnant girl in my neighborhood and showing love and compassion for her? Where is my time, talents, and treasures being spent and is there enough evidence in what I am surrendering to convict me of my conviction?
My M is adopted, praise God for her biological Mom whoever and wherever she is. I bet there was more than 1 who surrendered a lot for her.
MOLESKIN: Great to see the PAX come on out, even if you’re against dudes wearing ladies hair styles. The clippers were ready. In their desperation, the PAX aggressively EH’ed some early morning joggers and dog walkers.
It was great to see Bob Ross make the trek from the NE Kingdom and to fellowship with Flat Tire, his Irish Goodbyes are classic.
Prayers requested for El Bano as he prepares for a multi-week trip to Tanzania, HIM! Maybe we could all support him with some of our treasures also.
