COT:
A few years ago, Firehead and I were on a Ragnar team. On one of my longer runs, a guy caught up to me about 5 miles in, and said “I finally caught up with you – I’ve been chasing you for miles!” It’s good to see examples in your life of what it’s possible to achieve. Be those examples to our children and nieces and nephews and neighbors.

COT: 17 March 2025 – St. Patrick’s Day
Kindness & Forgiveness, Hope & Courage
St. Patrick’s Day is a time to practice kindness and forgiveness. These values are central to its spiritual meaning. The holiday also encourages us to find hope and courage in tough times.
Saint Patrick was born in Britain around 385 AD. At the age of 16, pirates kidnapped him and took him to Ireland as a slave. During his captivity, he turned to prayer and found comfort in his faith.
After six years, he escaped and returned home. Later, he felt called by God to return to Ireland and teach people about Christianity.
One of the biggest lessons from Saint Patrick is the importance of kindness and forgiveness. Even though he was treated badly as a slave, he chose to forgive those who hurt him. Instead of holding onto anger, he focused on helping others.
Kindness changes the world. When we treat people with love and respect, we create a better place for everyone. Forgiveness is not always easy, but it helps us heal. Holding grudges only hurts us in the long run.
Saint Patrick’s life was full of challenges, but he never lost hope. He had the courage to follow his dreams, even when things seemed impossible
Faith was at the center of Saint Patrick’s life. He believed in God and trusted that everything would work out. Faith gives us strength when we face difficulties. It helps us stay calm and hopeful.

COT: went to world Special Olympics in Italy last week to see my daughter (and classmates who were volunteering). The constant smiles were infectious – participants, family, volunteers and locals. Put a smile on someone’s face today, tomorrow and beyond. It doesn’t take much. It is mutually rewarding and infectious.
