I am sure that our Friend Marion had today circled on his Calendar đ for months now and anything that important to Marion becomes equally important for us here at OneofUs.Care.
Abingdon was the site for the day long Fellowship of Christian âī¸ Athletes – Soccerfest
Most of the FCA events are for Seniors only but the Soccerfest is open to Student Athletes from across multiple years of High School đĢ. A total of six of our Lady đŠ Cavaliers Soccer âŊī¸ players were on display on Tuesday.
The Red team included Natalie Harris, Callie Harris and Ainsley Nottingham. Marion was on the side lines helping instruct the young Ladies.
The Purple Shirts đ also had a trio of Lady đŠ Cavaliers – Alexis Sheffrey, Karman Smith and Ashlyn Newman.
Mr. Tickle created the photo đˇ op for the six and I was happy to include him in the second picture đˇ.
14 Boys from Carroll County made the trip South as well.
I am sure that someone was down there with photos đˇ of our Boys đĻ Soccer âŊī¸ players and I would be thrilled to share some of those pictures đˇ as well.

For the past year three people (and their spouses) have went well out of their way to help Linda and I along our journey. In no particular order – Rick Nester, Kris Richardson and Marion Harris.
Today it was an absolute treat to make a drive đ down I-81 and try my Best to frame a day for Marion that included all three of his Loves đ. Faith, Family đĒ and Football âŊī¸â¤
The road less traveled !
