Monday Morning Reading . . . and Listening

For the next couple of weeks I’ll be in my normal reading mode on Monday mornings.  Our summer camp season begins on June 5, so my reading will be pushed to another day.   Today, along with reading, I turned my attention to listening.  It is commencement season.  I like to hear the thoughts and advice offered to college graduates.  So, this morning I took some time to listen the words and thoughts of those addressing graduates.  This is my first group of listening.  There will be others. The links are provide and most can be seen on Youtube.
