Circle of Trust
Pain is where faith is born is a line from a Macklemore song that I heard for the first time when I took my family to the Imagine Dragons concert a few weeks ago. That line really stuck with me. Made me think about how my faith in myself and my spiritual faith has been born and grown stronger through the pain I have faced in my life. We can’t escape pain in life. No matter how hard we try. Plenty out there to try and numb us from our pain. Instead of trying to run from pain or numb pain why don’t we embrace the pain. So important for us as men to be examples of facing pain instead of running from it. Showing how we become stronger and more faithful because we embrace what pain is teaching us. Our wives, our kids, our partners, our families, our friends need this example right now.

Forgot to tell guys to bring coupons to station one. Cost us about 1 minute of time. Pre-blast could have said coupons and vests but plan was still coming together yesterday. Got positive feedback that signs at stations were good minus my terrible handwriting. Overall I think the WO pushed everyone that attended.
Lightfoot is officially a BD regular now.
