We have a different sort of Morning 🌄 Brew today as we start with a long, lead – in to how this part comes about…and why it is so important !

Right now, it is 5:42 a.m., and sadly, I’m already in my third hour of being awake ⏰️. The first step to the Morning 🌄 Brew is the logo shot, which includes our coffee ☕️ mug on display on our back porch here in the suburbs of downtown Laurel Fork.

This morning, I have already had a very pleasant exchange with Mrs Kayla Nester about last night 🌙 and that made me smile !

***** 5:37 update – Travis Osborne just checked ✔️ in with his Bible Verse of the Day ! What happens next is I choose one of the four Travis Osborne photos 📸 in my collection and do a copy and paste.

Travis Osborne and I made a connection a few years back, and it’s a relationship that I treasure. 365 days a year, Brother Osborne checks in for the Day with an attempt to give people hope as they start their day, which is the sole purpose for this daily effort.

Two more things need to happen to complete the rollout. I need to hear from Howard Mayo and Joel Osteen.

The daily email 📧 from Lakewood Church shows up every morning at exactly 6:00 a.m., but the time that Coach Mayo checks in various a little bit.

That is the way it appears this part works Monday through Friday. I am grateful 🙏 for Mayo taking the time during the week and if memory serves me, there was only once during our connection that a day was missed.

Why does this mountain ⛰️ of a Man 👨 have his name on the site for the entire month of September ? Because of the amount of RESPECT that I have for him!

God, Tim Tebow and Greg Bolen is the batting order… Travis Osborne as the clean-up hitter ?????

While this morning 🌄 effort is designed to bring a smile to people around the world 🌎, it always has a lean towards where I wake ⏰️ up. But all of the stats involved in my ministry efforts, my favorite is that we have reached people in over 50 countries around God’s planet over the years !!!!

Bill Gallimore is my target audience each day, and he makes me smile every time that I make him smile 😃. That is why his name took the Top Spot for the month of August !

As the Late, Great Paul Harvey always signed off with – Now you know the rest of the story !

Each morning, I sign off with this final line :

Have a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏
