Phather Phil’s Prayer
Heavenly Father faithfully let us run the race that is set before us and the impressions we leave give light and purpose to those who follow. We never know what effect we are going to have on another person. If our cause is just and we have followed Your precepts, we have no reason to brag. For it is You Lord who has given us the talent and the mind set to do what we do. So Lord help us to remember that our mind is a garden our thoughts are the seeds. We can plant flowers or we can plant weeds.
Amen!

Today’s Speaker
Scott Langer introduced Rob Streck from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department. Streck spoke to us in rapid style about Opioid usage and its dangers and consequences. Mostly sold through cartels and in motels, the drugs come from Mexico and China. Dayton is unfortunately a “source city”. Heroin has been so diluted that addicts are going to deadlier drugs such as fentanyl and carfentanyl (an elephant sedative), there are 32 types of fentanyl and it is much stronger than heroin. These drugs kill users and damage brain receptors. In 2015, 259 people died of overdose in Montgomery County; year to date 457 have died. He briefly explained the range force and helping those who want help to be drug free. Many questions and comments followed.
