Another month arrives and for many of us, even those who usually enjoy a warmer climate, are experiencing a taste of Winter!

The cold is merely an effect on the outer body and in no way is an indication of the inner spirit. This past month has tested our inner resolve to

see the good in life's outcome both on a personal level as well as living everyday life.

We collectively said, "See you later", to two of our Coyote Brothers. Coach Dan Runkle, who was with us during the '70's, has passed and his memory will be celebrated in Dubuque, IA on Feb 15th. Please keep Coach's wife, Deb, and the rest of his family in your prayers.

We also celebrated a life well lived by Mike Lee. One celebration was held in South Dakota and another in Knoxville, TN both were attended by several teammates and family members.

These occasions were a great reminder of what the Brotherhood is really all about. I am reminded of scripture found in the first book of Corinthians chapter 13 

"If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have no love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." The humbling expression of love toward Mike's family was amazing.

Diane Lee has continued to contact us and express her gratitude for the outpouring of love she and her family has felt during this season of life.

Let us all be mindful of those around us in a season of life that may be challenged by health or financial difficulties. Let us be the answer to someone in need, we don't want to be a "clanging cymbal", we don't just make noise, we do something. Faith is nothing if not expressed in action. Let us act with compassion and make a difference in our world.

enjoy February, the month of LOVE. Give it away Brothers, and it will return many times over.
