GOOD MORNING AND
HAPPY FRIDAY!
Thanks to a Local
Veteran- This past summer a Graham Veteran took part in the 75th Anniversary of
the D-Day landing and the Battle of Normandy. He carried with him an American
flag and a Graham Steers flag. Upon his return, he delivered both flags and a
can containing sand from Omaha Beach to Coach Kenny Davidson. He requested that
we share the significance of the determination and sacrifice of the American
and Allied Forces on June 6, 1944. Additionally, he asked that the sand be
planted on Newton Field. For this gift and opportunity, Thank You!
The 2019 Graham Steers will be carrying these two flags in addition to
the Texas flag as they leave the tunnel during each home team.

Today's blog post
is part two of five from a message I found several years ago. It is a long
message so I thought it would be best to break it up into separate posts. The
author is unknown to me, but it speaks to me… I hope it does to you as well.
There Comes a Time
You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people
as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties and in the
process, a sense of peace & contentment is born of forgiveness. You realize
that much of the way you view yourself, and the world around you, is a result
of all the messages and opinions that have been ingrained into your psyche. And
you begin to sift through all the junk you've been fed about how you should
behave, how you should look and how much you should weigh what you should wear
and where you should shop and what you should drive how and where you should
live and what you should do for a living, who you should marry and what you
should expect of a marriage, the importance of having and raising children or what
you owe your parents.
You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. And
you begin reassessing and redefining who you are what you really stand for. You
learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the
doctrines and values you've outgrown or should never have bought into to begin
with and in the process, you learn to go with your instincts. You learn that it
is truly in giving that we receive. And that there is power and glory in
creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a
"consumer" looking for your next fix. You learn that principles such
as honesty and integrity are
not the outdated ideals of a bygone era but the mortar that holds together the
foundation upon which you must build a life...to be continued
"third of five next
week"...Have a nice day!
