Remember The Movie...."Unforgiven" Who owns this hole?
A lot of times, We get asked at the PIT "Who owns this place"? We kindly answer: "It owns us". It's a Forgiven place though.....and if you want a straight answer in life: Ask HIM and live in HIM to find out who owns you or all you "think" you have. I'm not recommending this movie to families but some of eastwoods earlier westerns are clean & fun to watch
WITH THAT SAID!!!!
Get ready for The PIT 88 Challenge #3 of "8" Coming soon!!! Keep your eyes on this blog over the next few weeks/months for the START of the contest if you want to win huge prizes & Gear!!!!

Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. – Proverbs 2:11
This proverb can be a pillar of sanity in a day of hundreds of Facebook friends and Twitter followers. As much as these medias call connections friends, we can not be all things to all people. Discretion allows us and protects us by giving us permission to have boundaries about how much people SHOULD know about us. Saying “no” to the demands of an information age can be an act of courage. We all need people that we can open up to, but the Scripture tells us to choose those people wisely. This understanding will guard you from the anxieties of too much information given to too many people.

The Ultimate Shaper....!
Found this from our good friends at CS and thought you guys would enjoy!
THE ULTIMATE SHAPER:
How crazy would it be if someone laid out a beautiful longboard next to a high performance shortboard and started evaluating the longboard based on the shortboard? "Look at this nose...it's all rounded off and there's just not enough rocker," they would say. "Only one fin? Where are the other two (like this shortboard)?" It would be ridiculous. Because the shortboard isn't the standard by which a longboard should be evaluated. Rather the longboard should be assessed in comparison to the blueprint that the shaper had in mind when making it.
But, girls open magazines regularly and measure themselves by someone else's appearance. Men look at other men and assess their career success or financial stability. The examples go on and on. The problem is, other people aren't the standard for who I am. In fact, in 2 Corinthians 10:12 in the Bible says, "...they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!" (NLT)
The standard is what God had in mind when HE made each of us. In Psalm 139 it states, "Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God-you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration-what a creation! " (the Message). In another version it says that God "knit" us together. He gave attention to detail.
The point? Just as it would be silly to complain that you can't nose ride a 5'6" thruster, it is silly to continually compare ourselves to others. Each of us was designed to bring glory to God in a unique fashion by living out who He shaped us to be, not by trying to be a carbon copy of someone else (in looks, abilities, attitudes or actions). So take time today to marvel at who HE made you. And next week we'll talk about how He is growing you into the person He purposed you to be.
