Circle of Trust
Sharing of the six – Doubtfire – Working out along (or with one other person) is not as impactful as working out with a group. Five year anniversary is coming up. Got his name because his wife travels for work and he gets to be home with his two boys. And he also makes an impact by working with kids in the AW district.

Announcements: Norm Schutt Memorial Raffle is open. Proceeds to benefit St James Lutheran Church. Black Swamp 5 year anniversary gear order is open. Woodstock is Q’ing Wed at FoD. Support him. Whitehouse 3rd F study will cover Freed to Lead after the Romans study. Looking at Mid April. May also have a virtual option.

Ball of Man with Prayer – Prayers for Stalkers mother and her living situation. Prayers for Astro and his job search. Prayers for my mom Jan as she transitions into a new stage of life.

Spreadsheets from the Gloom: Low 20’s little to no wind. Thanks to the ten HIM who joined me today.

It was an honor to lead.
