Phather Phil’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, the joy of living in harmony with you is our greatest pleasure. Seeking pleasure is an all consuming activity in our daily run through life. When bad things happen or our pleasure is removed too many resort to substitute pleasures; Food, drink & pills. These are only temporary and further use leads to addiction. Have us realize when trouble comes our way that prayer is our best solution. You have a junk yard large enough to
hold all our troubles. By placing them with you it gives our mind time to rest so we have the time to listen to our heart. In other words Lord don’t let us squat on our spurs. Amen!

Today’s Speaker
Bob Burkman introduced our speaker, Chuck Thokey. His inspiring story begins with his diagnosis of Educable Mentally Retarded in junior high. Now days it is referred to as ADD (attention deficit disorder). Chuck shared that most successful sales people and business owners are ADD. Some of Chucks successes include working in experimental aircraft for Lear Jet and in sales for Bath-fitter. Chuck emphasized the importance of mentoring in this success. He sees the “disability” of ADD as a gift. He shared that he has trouble sleeping, writes everything in notebooks, and has difficulty staying focused. He has been a successful professional speaker for 6 years.
