Introduction
Steel or Memory Foam, which will you become?
The Katana is arguably one of the most deadly and beautiful weapons ever created. A true work of art. It is strong, flexible, razor sharp and resilient. It takes a meticulous process to create, but simple. It requires dedication, perseverance and honesty to create it. Forge, fold, hammer, forge, fold, hammer……
The Katana begins as Iron, which is a metaphor for us. Over time, with dedication, perseverance and repetition, the process described above, we undergo a chemical change, much like the iron becomes steel with heat and carbon. If we are honest, dedicated and stay true to the course, we too will become steel and ultimately acquire the attributes of a Katana; strong, flexible, razor sharp and resilient.
By doing nothing you become memory foam, by doing what we do, we become steel. Keep on forging men!

Circle of Trust
Described the process of creating a Katana and compared to the similarities of what we do every day to “get right.”
Thanked God for giving us the opportunity to allow us to pursue our transformations so we can lead in the community.

Note to self, holding iron bars makes your hands damn cold when it is freezing outside. Wear gloves or mittens, Ouch!!
