When you think about it, a series of favorable junctures of circumstance kind of describes life itself. From that very first moment oxygen rushes into our lungs giving life and a cry roars forth from our little mouths, through cuddles, first steps, first days of school, new friends, lessons, losses, wins; every day, every moment is nothing but a series of new opportunities. The mistake we too often make is convincing ourselves that opportunity is something that is presented to us, that opportunity is a gift for the chosen – that is the dodge. Opportunity is a choice. We choose our path. We choose to act or not to act. We decide to offer a hand or to take a hand when it is offered. We choose risk. And, we can opt to decline opportunity’s invitation. But, opportunity is always ours for the taking. Let us give thanks today for opportunity, for life. We are grateful for the grace and the courage to grab opportunity and make it our own. Life is that favorable juncture of circumstance that allows us to explore, to learn, to expand man’s reach, to help, to make the world a better place, to love. We are thankful for the opportunity of life and the ability to be together in this place at this time. https://www.grahamgillette.com/stadium daily 0.75 2019-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a131bc6e5dd5b1cb2983e88/1573839185028-0RVKQD67C328LEVEQ7LA/41e29bab-7d6d-4668-acc0-27c5fe568322-1113_DrakeStadium_Rederings_004.jpg Des Moines Schools Stadium Proposal Reveals Misplaced Priorities https://www.grahamgillette.com/sales-taxes daily 0.75 2020-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a131bc6e5dd5b1cb2983e88/1575918950751-RV1KL9M0R0FSPBY8NT8L/classroom.jpg Sales Taxes Should Fund Classrooms Before Stadiums https://www.grahamgillette.com/leader daily 0.75 2020-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a131bc6e5dd5b1cb2983e88/1578750637877-USK48R8T800G6CQAHHHX/49335589028_5197ad954e_k.jpg A Leader for our time https://www.grahamgillette.com/vote2020 daily 0.75 2020-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a131bc6e5dd5b1cb2983e88/1602607834578-W8NDKWSHP47S89RU0ULX/Why+should+I+vote.jpg Vote 2020 https://www.grahamgillette.com/partners-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390409437321-Q9EZYDA52XWMFWJIQRU6/logo-2.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390409437266-8DADKO4VSI8O9JEYQ58I/logo-4.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390409437284-U9500QOC95REDBT90G9L/logo-1.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390409437242-8SZY5F04GD012C425QZ6/logo-3.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390505394162-W51WFS0M8F9TXWY7LPDY/chambers-10.jpg Partners https://www.grahamgillette.com/home-alt-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500612440-PGQSIY8KL9F7T5VIXQLO/chambers-2.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500503574-5BAPXZO9U06UV61P49UO/chambers1.jpg Home Alt Sustainability Starts with you Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500933384-LII4SRIPHFYOUFX0UCXC/chambers-4.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390504287124-HQ8GNX1JCE22V047MSQ9/chambers-8.jpg Home Alt Preserve Nature Join Us https://www.grahamgillette.com/read-me-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390928870858-4D9B6T9WGP8017NSS9W3/topography.jpg Read Me https://www.grahamgillette.com/take-action-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390597413198-XUEB2J3138YBEXDCIMC0/tumblr_migjb4LxOB1rkz363o2_1280.jpg Take Action https://www.grahamgillette.com/gillette-holiday-card daily 0.75 2025-12-08
