Week #4 - Let's Go!

Good Will Toward Men

It seems that our world is still looking for peace and enough good will to go around. After a tense election, conflict in Israel, Ukraine, and others places in the world, violence in our schools and our streets, "good will" seems to be in short supply.

God's promise of peace and good will is one I am comforted by and try to extend to others through my own words and actions. I hope you will make your own efforts to spread that good will to others as you go through the Christmas season and into 2025. 

THE WEEK THAT WAS
What a fun meet we had on Thursday. Though the meet didn't count toward standings or cuts it was great to race and it allowed Hamilton, a team about half our size, to swim more events than they normally would, allowed us to move some people around a bit. Though the meet won't show up on Swimcloud, you can see it using the Meet Mobile App (worth looking into if you don't have it) and it is in the Meet Schedule and Results page.
