Have you forgotten just how amazing our great God is? Spend time remembering today.
From Galatians 4:4-7: “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir through God.“

One of North America’s most majestic animals is the bighorn sheep. They are part of the mammals subfamily of bovines, which includes cattle, bison, African buffalo, and antelopes.
Here are some interesting facts about the bighorn sheep:
As a species related to mountain goats, bighorn sheep and goats possess cloven hooves, which are split into two toes. This allows them to grasp rocky cliffs with finger-like dexterity.
Predators of the bighorn sheep include: wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, and bobcats. The sheep defend themselves with exceptional vision, excellent hearing, and an outstanding sense of smell.
Both males and females feature horns. The males’ horns are huge in size and feature an extremely curved shape. The horns weigh up to 30 pounds (14 kg), and if straightened out, they would extend up to two feet. Each ring on the horns represents one year of growth. The females’ horns are smaller and straighter.
During mating season, the males (rams) compete over the females (ewes). They charge each other in head-to-head combat. The sound of these crashes can be heard up to a mile away. The males’ thick, bony skull prevents injury from these battles.

Good leadership requires you to surround yourself with people of diverse perspectives who can disagree with you without fear of retaliation.
With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed.

God’s goal is not to make you happy. It is to make you His.
From Psalm 119:76: “Let Your steadfast love become my comfort according to Your promise to Your servant.“
Fragile, yet unbroken
Remaining soft-spoken
Perplexed, yet answers found
Feeling free, homeward bound
Deadlocked, yet finding key
Moving on, let it be
Homeless, yet seeing light
Making nightly campsite
Troubled, yet finding peace
Forging life’s brand new lease
Hidden, yet discovered
Finding future covered
Misplaced, yet always found
Sleeping on softest ground
Wounded, yet walking free
Earning final degree
Useless, yet finding worth
Flying high above earth
Hungry, yet always fed
Tasting life’s daily bread
Shortchanged, yet now fulfilled
Making steps, always thrilled
Forgotten, yet now loved
Sharing days with beloved
