Good Friday Everyone!
I saw LeBron James the other night thanks to Sarah Cowens. (Thanks again Sarah!)
LeBron plays basketball for the Cleveland Cavilers of the NBA.
He scored over 50 points that night! Is that a big deal?

When my older brother, a Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps at the time, attended my graduation from Parris Island he shook my hand and said, “Now we’re brothers twice!”

“In reading the lives of great men, I found that the
first victory they won was over themselves …
self-discipline with all of them came first.”
— Harry S. Truman: Was the thirty-third president of the U.S.
President Truman’s successors in this year’s presidential campaign are touting change.
