Back to SF.Now the fun begins:
Your QIC brings out a clipboard with paper and a pen as does the AOQ so i am confused. Well i did this since Spackle came out to Arena and does not do Twitter etc so i figured go old school had everyone sign their names on a sheet as we did name o rama. It was interesting as the AOQ passed around a Q sign up sheet for June and filled the month in less than a minute wow.
Announcements : nothing significant i dont think
Prayers: Thumps up daughter’s friend’s dad committed suicide as asking for prayers.
We thanked the service members in attendance NB and Rock drop for their service and allowing us to have freedom.
My devo got in with his saying where i grew up and so thankful for the freedom of everything we have and not take it for granted daily.
Also reminded pax everyone struggles daily with life, wife, family etc and always reach out to friends text etc.
Closed out with prayers
thanks to all who came especially non arena regulars made my day.
Till next time
