Reflection 
– Heard a caller on the radio talking about some amazing story.  She said she heard something a long time ago, and it always stuck with her to keep her grounded.
– She said, "I always remember: when I'm on the mountain top, I've got to humbly bow low to God to thank Him and give Him glory for my successes.  And when I'm in the valleys, I need to raise my hands up and give Him praises and acknowledge that He has me in His hands, and I trust Him."
– This was such a simple message and point of reflection for me over the last week.
– Especially so, it seems, in our American culture, where individual freedom and success seems to be promoted above humility and acknowledgement of our Living God.
– When you are succeeding, are you humbly praising him?
– When you are troubled, do you trust Him?

Moleskine:
– Missed our BRR gang.  And others on vacation or working.  And others…we need you. 
– And because I love you guys so much, those Need for Speed sets will be recycled into a workout near you sometime after BRR training.  Those guys need speed too.  And we will hit 4 sets
– 2nd F at Cabbellas was wonderful as always.  I took a ribbing for low SVU 2nd F attendance…deservedly so….sad clown
– Heal up Hefty!

Such an honor to lead today.
