The CK Daily – Sacrifice & Family
Happy Thursday!
For most of us, Summer officially kicks off this weekend. School is getting out, vacations are starting, cookouts are happening, and pool time has begun. This weekend means so much more for us overall. This weekend, specifically Monday, we honor the sacrifice of those brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom and protection. It is a somber reminder that all that we have, our ability to live our lives the way we do, and our freedoms did not come without a significant price. I want to take a moment to honor the sacrifice of those men, women, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, and friends, that made the ultimate sacrifice for us and our country.
As we gather with our families and friends this weekend, let’s remember to take time to honor these brave souls that have gone before us and given their lives for the freedom of our country. Also, with the horrors that we have seen on the news and have experienced as a nation over the past two weeks, and especially last Tuesday, remember to hug and show appreciation to your family and friends as you see them over the weekend.
I pray that you, your families, and friends have a safe Memorial Day weekend and that you make some special memories with all of them to kick off the summer.

Learning Center Article – How to Choose Ethernet Cables for Gaming
It’s good that you are looking at Ethernet internet options. As a gamer, you likely understand the horror of laggy games. When it comes to home networks and gaming, latency is a huge deal and can make or break your whole experience – and in the game, whether you live, die, or succeed. Latency is always with us; it’s just a matter of how significant it is.
Wi-Fi simply isn’t as stable as Ethernet, and it leads to slower effective experiences due to higher chances of interference. Slow internet speeds can ruin the entire game, so you want something that can keep up. At the same time, you don’t want to spend a life’s fortune just on cables.
