Discussed “change” and the importance of being able to change your thoughts. One thing that is always constant is change.  We can not control situations, people or things.  We can just change our thoughts.  Instead of “why me” we should change our thought to “what am I going to learn from this”.
Prayer:

Prayers to Double D and family, Dogpound’s wife and family.

Circled up. Group was “ENERGIZED” with activity. The quickest way to change our emotions is by changing our thought.

Thanks for allowing me to lead today gentlemen.  Always an honor!
