The CK Daily – Being a Daymaker
Good morning & happy Thursday!
Tuesday evening we had our first volunteer “get together” / training for our new Church campus launch next month. It was a great time getting to meet the other people and families that I will be joining over at the new campus in our county. We have all been in church together for years but just at different campuses, so it will be great getting to serve with all these amazing people going forward, every Sunday.
During the training, our campus pastor talked about how important it is to make each and every man, woman, and child that comes into the building feel like we are here just for them, help them feel special, and feel at ease. It was a great reminder that each and every person, no matter who they are, what they’ve done, or what they have been through, they are special to God and to me (us). He called it being a “Daymaker”. How do we make each and every person’s day better and brighter? This made me ask myself, how am I doing this in my everyday life – family, friends, work, neighbors, etc.? How am I making other people’s days better and adding to them instead of taking away from them? How am I making their day brighter?
It’s a tough but fun question to ask yourself daily. How can I make at least one person’s day brighter? Maybe helping them do something even before they ask, taking them out to lunch, sharing an encouraging/uplifting word with them, helping a family in need, or just spending some time with someone. It can be so many things that will lift a person up. The added benefit when we do this is no matter what is going on in our lives right then, our day will be brighter as well.
Just a challenge for the rest of the week and weekend, find someone to help or make their day brighter in some way. It may seem simple to you, but it may make their day and make a huge difference in their life.
Have a great Thursday everyone!

Learning Center Article – What does 5G mean for business networks?
There is a lot of technology generating excitement for more applications than we could hope to name. One central theme to virtually all of that technology is an increased demand for data and the need of higher bandwidth for connectivity. More devices than ever are actively communicating, and they are placing massive burdens on existing infrastructure.
Copper networks and 4G wireless have a shelf life. Within the next couple of years, they will no longer be able to service standard demands — much less cutting-edge applications. Ultimately, we all need a network that is built for the new age of connectivity. That network will run on 5G.
