CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recall those things you thought about when you called out the phrase, “As long as I can breathe, I can …”  What came to mind?  Now listen to these words spoken by Tommie Harris, former pro football player.

Did your “I can” expand its scope after listening to Tommie?  We all need to think about our “I cans” and utilize the strength derived from every breathe to make them happen today, tomorrow, next week, and in the years to come.
MOLESKIN:
Keep all those involved with the day center drowning death of two 23 month old twins in our prayers.  There is a lot of pain, anger, guilt, and remorse.
