Highlights:

- SpaceX companies and contractor war in court

- Space X accuses contractor of overcharging up to $800 million

- Contractor accused of using fraud to purchase IHRA and Memphis Motor Speedway

"I had walked life’s path with an easy tread, Had followed where comfort and pleasure led; And then one day in a quiet place, I met the Master, face to face. With station and rank and wealth for a goal, Much thought for the body, but none for the soul; I had thought to win in life’s mad race, When I met the Master, face to face," said the late Dr. Frank Pollard as he recited the poem I Met My Master Face to Face in his 1998 sermon on Paul's conversion.    Thinking like the pharisees? Thinking "I'm so glad I'm not like that sinner?"  Well, this might be the sermon for you.  Enjoy.

I got a lot out of our high school reunion last weekend. It was so enjoyable seeing classmates I’ve not seen in decades. Benefitting is the better word for it. Like most classmates I came to see how everyone is now, what everyone has been dealing with, and remembering all “way-back-whens.” The best parts were enjoying catching up and not feeling any old rivalries. We were just family who laughed out loud at then and now.

Let's just say the word "garbage" was used.
