One of the church leaders sidled up to the microphone and pronounced, "Doctrinal work took us centuries, do you think we could lessen hunger and poverty without that in place?"

ONLY LOVE GETS US OUT OF THE DARKNESS
Reaching out in the darkness...
I knew a man that I did not care for
And then one day this man gave me a call
We sat and talked about things on our mind
And now this man he is a friend of mine
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to love
Everybody needs a little love
Everybody needs somebody
That they can be thinking of
My buddy DJ is still here so we're playing GOLF again today over at Sand Hollow course.

And he got to try George's (downtown restaurant) Short Ribs and Bow Tie Pasta dish with garlic bread. Had to order extra bread just to soak up all that delicious gravy.

Snickers: Scarier day isn't it?
KD: Yep, it is...

Morning Peeps,
NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT...That's why it's a GIFT
Get together Peeps...
Love is but a song to sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
RIGHT NOW...
DJ and I played Conestoga Golf Club in Mesquite yesterday, playing Sky Mountain today...
Great friends, Great Golf

TGI Fridays abruptly closed ~50 locations this week, CNN reported, as the casual chain known for its endless apps reportedly weighs bankruptcy.
