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.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be your own person. With the influence of media and social media, I think the world is beginning to lose the ability to form your own opinions. We’re always seeing politics on TV, and people bashing other people for not agreeing with their lifestyle and opinion.

What really matters is what you think. Every single one of us is fortunate enough to live in a country where we are allowed to form our own opinions, so use that right. In all generations, there are people that take everything they hear or see from others as fact and don’t investigate for themselves.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
the true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.
