CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Proverbs 16:32 New International Version (NIV)
Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city.

YHC has been reminding himself all week to have patients. It is a virtue. It has been a particular challenge this week in dealing with people working with me. Yet, continued patients is not only expected but required.
MOLESKIN:
Was great to have Commies brother as an FNG today. Given his love of history with particular interest in the Cold War, not to mention his quickness and speed, Sputnik seemed appropriate.

In 1957 a satellite was launched by the USSR and put into orbit around planet Earth. The effect shook the Eisenhower administration to the core, and stunned the US public as a whole. While little more than a “beeping grapefruit” it caused millions of dollars to be poured into science, mathematics, engineering, the formation of NASA, and a Space Race that would galvanize both nations. The resulting  fevered pitch from Sputnik ultimately culminated in the United States bringing about the first successful manned lunar landings in 1969.
