John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Two cars 🚗 are about to head out on meaningful journeys. Marion Harris is preparing to drive 51 miles over to Ferrum College, as for the third time, he will be dropping off a daughter for her first day of college. 4 years await out Callie ” Half Pint Harris.
I myself will be driving 120 miles southwest to the Charlotte Airport 🛫 to pick up my bride 👰♀ after a 4 month absence for medical reasons. Two different sets of emotions there.
Both Cindy Edwards and Shawn Montgomery are set to officially begin their tryouts in 🏐 and Cross Country
Here is to hoping that each and every student athlete involved has a positive experience !
Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏
With a BIG assist from Mr Ron M, Vickey Ritchie, and our Special Olympics Athletes, had quite the weekend on The Hill !
Vickey Ritchie, to use a sports analogy, leaves it all out on the floor every time she attempts to make everyone feel at home. This weekend, with the assistance from Ron Mack ( abbreviated last name), Coach went Swim, Hoops, and Swim 🏊♂️!
Saturday afternoon, the group gathered at the Carroll Wellness Center for a swim party.
Sunday afternoon, it was back over to Hillsville Elementary School 🏫 for the normal 2pm basketball 🏀 practice. The number of folks in uniform was north of twenty, but Coach was absolutely up to the task of staying on top of all the joy.
We were able to acknowledge Patrick Smith and his new role as an officer on the Galax Police force and celebrate multiple birthdays 🎂!
It was fitting that the game ended in a 26-26 👔 and as soon as the group closed out the practice with the ” One Team ” motto, most of the group packed up and headed back to the Wellness center for the bookend Swim 🏊♂️ party.
In just over 24 hours, three times were created and themed in which everyone felt that they were accepted by others ! After all of that effort, Coach still had the energy to sort through hundreds of pics and share them on social media. Still yet, Vickey then shared a few more with her neighborhood blogger !
Now, it’s 3am on Monday, and while most of the county is sleeping 😴💤, I’m sure in the back of Vickey’s mind, she is planning the next adventure !
Parker, Parker, Andrews and Burton blister Caverns Country Club with a 56 but Saturday belonged to Andrew Good, Jersey Mike and the youth of Page County!
Luray, Virginia – Tyler and T.J Parker teamed up with Caleb Andrews and Buggy Burton to card a sixteen under par, 56 to capture the annual Page County Recreation Department fund raising golf ⛳️ tournament on Saturday morning.
Andrew Good welcomed 28 foursomes to the annual fundraiser for his department and when it was time to address the crowd he spoke to 112 smiling faces.
After the round, the golfers enjoyed a hearty meal, door prizes, and plenty of fellowship. Good will now be able to refill the coffers, allowing him to continue to provide participants in his programs much needed assistance.
On a personal note 📝, the day was absolutely Top Shelf for me. Having the opportunity to work with Andrew and his trusty Sidekick, Jersey Mike, was a pleasure, and when you add in the trio of golfers I played the loop with, it added up to an Awesome few days up in a place we called home for a decade plus.
We were fortunate enough to have the same foursome from last year, and once again, we were able to assist a young man who gives his best effort every day in hopes of improving the lives of others.
Shooting 🔫 an -11 (61) was the definition of icing on the cake 🎂. One can never predict what 12 months down the road looks like but we can only hope that the wonderful people continue to support the cause !
Plum Dawg is heading further into the desert 🏜.
373 miles separate Los Angeles and Phoenix, making it a short trip for the University of Washington graduate 🎓 as she heads to her fourth city since leaving the Seattle campus.
Sadly, the Mercury sit south of the Sparks in the Western conference standings, but the upside is that the recovery from her injury is almost complete !
The road less traveled !
