Hello to you. I hope this finds you well. Tonight I got to watch via NYCTHRASHERs Tik Tok page a South Korean boy band named BTS. I was one of some 50,000 people watching the performance which is a lot for Tik Tok! The MetLife Stadium in New Jersey had about 82,500 people in attendance. – sold out show.

Spin of the World Prayer Wheel:
Father, we thank thee for the night,
and for the pleasant morning light;
for rest and food and loving care,
and all that makes the day so fair.
Help us to do the things we should,
to be to others kind and good;
in all we do, in work or play,
to grow more loving every day.
