Phather Phil’s Prayer
Heavenly Father there are times when we discover we can’t do something without Your help. Then we come to You in earnest prayer. Being an impatient lot, after a while we may feel our prayers were not answered. That’s when we need to realize You did answer by not giving us what we wanted. Sometimes not getting what we want is a stroke of luck. Help us Lord to first count our blessings to make us realize we have all we need. Amen!

Today’s Speaker
Dave Kay gave us a humorous introduction to our speaker, James Brown of WHIO-TV Channel 7 News. We were given a demonstration of Sky 7 a drone technology device used for news gathering, photos and videos. Operators of the drone must be licensed pilots. Brown then discussed politics and people’s reluctance to talk about the subject; however, he observed that cable news is driven by politics. Local news is highly trusted whereas national news is in doubt about its partisanship. Channel 7 receives 81% of local viewers, Brown advised us to check web news sources and to be critical. Lively questions and thunderous applause followed.
