In and Out of Control
March 30, 2017
It is "I Am In Control Day" commemorating the "mis-speak" by then Secretary of State Alexander Haig on March 30, 981 after the attempt on President Reagan's life.
We we can control some things and manage others, while there are still others we can only observe and about which we can pray, muse, meditate, and adjust our attitudes.
It is up to us to assess and respond accordingly.
- What do you "control" today?
2. Over what have you no control?
3. What can you do about either?
4. What will you do about either?
5. How will that affect/effect your day?
6. What steps can you take to develop better management in your life?
7. How does that make you feel?

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen.
