Selleck welcomed the PAX to Oracle 7am edition and dispelled mission, core principles and disclaimer; with no FNGs Selleck informed the PAX there would be small spirts of moseying, nothing excessive, but we’d cover decent ground with a variety of routines. Modify as needed!

COT:  

• Selleck read a verse & passage from Prayer Cleats; a book gifted to him by his father at Christmas 10 years ago.
  • Prayer Cleats, By USN Retired BC Bolt, Chapter  10 – The still, small voice.
    • John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
    • In this time of craziness, Selleck talked about his challenge to find stillness/peaceful time to reflect, but noticed when he does things are simpler, God’s voice can be heard and our purpose/direction in life becomes more clear.
    • The challenge to the PAX was to find time to be still and be a calming force for our family, friends, community.
