-President Ronald Reagan

Take time to pray for our country and our leaders today.

FEAR NOT. HAVE FAITH.

A Cheater is just a Loser pretending to be a Winner…

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
-Ronald Reagan, First Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1981

To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.

Taking on too much of other people’s drama is just a poor excuse for not taking ownership and control over your own life.
-Focus on Your Life.

If you take everything personally, you’ll remain offended for the rest of your life. What other people do is often because of them, not you.

Faith. Trust. There is Power in Prayer! Pray for America.

PLEASETHANK YOU and SORRY are still magic words. Use them.

Today’s Skill Work – Work on a weakness.

Social Media tip of the day: Facebook is not just injurious to health, it’s now a full-on humanitarian crisis. WHO are you trying to impress?
Have the wisdom to show restraint. –Proverbs 23:4

Trooper Mark Coates was shot and killed after stopping a car on I-95 near the Georgia border.

During the traffic stop the subject began to struggle with Trooper Coates and they both fell to the ground. The man fired a .22 caliber handgun into Trooper Coates’ chest, but the round was stopped by his vest.

Trooper Coates was able to force the man off of him and return fire, striking the him five times in the chest with his .357 caliber revolver. As he retreated for cover and to radio for backup, the man fired another shot. The round struck Trooper Coates in the left armpit and traveled into his heart.

The man survived the incident and was sentenced to life in prison.

Trooper Coates was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the South Carolina Highway patrol for five years. He was survived by his wife, two sons, two step-daughters, parents, sister and brother.
