CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We accomplished a lot of work in a short amount of time today.  We all have limited time and countless demands for it.  We can accomplish great achievement when we are present, focused, and engaged.

I want to specifically address time with our families.  Summer is a time we frequently have more time to devote to our families.  Schedules are less full, we have vacations, kids have later bedtimes.  Future moments are not guaranteed.   I encourage you to make these moments count.  Be present, engaged, and focused.

A Psalm of Life
BY HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,— act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Continue to pray for Sam, G-6’s friend battling cancer in Arizona
