When considering a great impactful experience that my son had last week and that of Donald Trump last Saturday, consider t he impactful experiences in your life. Be sure to remember and write down how you felt and what it led you to consider in your life. Likely it occurred for a reason and sometimes in time the way we felt will fade, but we should not forget that direction it would be leading our lives.

COT: My 16 year old has ACL surgery today. Last night at dinner my 14 year old was talking about how hard conditioning was at football. My 16 year old said he would never complain about conditioning again as he will be excited to run again. This reminded me how lucky we are to have this opportunity and blessing that we can work out when many cannot. We are doubly blessed that we have each other to do it with. Keep bringing new guys out. Tough in the summer but we need to continue to share this with others. And, be grateful that we have this opportunity.
