attending. This event draws nearly 600 men each year, so you know it’s

Time Change Ahead:
This coming Saturday evening we will return to Daylight Saving Time.
Move your clocks ahead one hour before going to bed that night. “Spring
Forward” and enjoy having sunlight later into the day.
Getting Ahead: * “It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.” (Henry Ford) * “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:15,17)
