Hey, Kris Richardson, next Saturday is a Noon Kickoff in Miami ! Welcome 🙏 to Day 7 of the Final 14….

Division 1 FBS Football is bought and paid for my Network TV 📺 $$$. This is why that for weeks 4-13 you don’t know when your game is being played until 13 days out.

Once in a Blue Moon 🌙, the time slots are so tough to separate that the Networks call for an audible, not releasing the Kickoff times until 6 days out.

When Duke failed to convert their game winning 2-point conversion at 11:45 last night, it started the Dominos falling.

Duke (6-2) at Miami (8-0) will be played on National TV 📺 (ABC) with a Noon Kickoff ! Coach Diaz started his Head Coaching career with the Hurricane 🌀 so there is an extra layer of spice to it.

See, while I proudly wear the colors of the School 🏫 that wouldn’t let me in, Kris is a more low key Blue Devils fan.

But know that at 5:15 am next Saturday morning 🌄 he will board an Airplane ✈ headed down to South Beach ⛱…. It’s okay Kris, your secret love for Duke University 💙 is still safe, for the most part !

Tomorrow will be a Fun Day in the Bull City as well. Cameron Indoor Stadium for both Volleyball 🏐 👀 and Duke Men’s Basketball 🏀.

Yes, I think Kris will make it to that as well. If you see him on Monday, don’t let him tell you that he did it for Ethan…..

Day #7 of The Final 14 has officially started. Welcome 🙏 to Sunday morning 🌄 and let’s hope that every Pastor feels the Holy Spirit here in a few hours !

Welcome 🙏 to Saturday Morning 🌄 Day 6 of 14 !

Greetings to Everyone,

The Path less chosen is one, The Path less taken is another. Maybe, its the E+F=G. My sites are a part of my Ministry and have been a format I have used for almost two decades and its time to tweak the title to have it match the intent.

I remember Joe Walsh having an album he titled ” You Bought it, You Name it.”

REO Speedwagon – “You can tune a Piano 🎹 but you cannot tune a Fish.”

We will get to the right one but please know that the two things I have been chasing for the past four years in Carroll County are Faith and Education. It’s that simple, I do believe that we were all created equally and each of us where given a Gift 🎁.

My story is an Amazing 👏 One to me because God’s hands ✋ were all over it. If you make a list of every Challenge out there the only one that I didn’t face was my Mother and Father remained Married so there is no Broken Home story. Plenty of others, just not that one.

Ones Goal in my mind, should be to help as many people as you can, by any means possible. Letting someone know that they matter can be priceless to a person that is struggling.

Yesterday, in announcing that the Social Media portion of this journey is over, it created an opportunity to have exchanges with a number of quality people that wouldn’t have taken place otherwise. It was very enjoyable to say the least and I tried my best to give a heart ❤ felt response to all of them. Why, because I Could, its a small step towards Humanity.

Here in a bit, Lin and I will head out to Durham for tonight’s battle of 6-1 football 🏈 teams (SMU @ Duke). Fun to say 6-1 because I think its possibly just the second time in my 61 years we have been 6-1. Just saw that play on numbers!!

Everyone needs a Safe Place, a disconnect from all of their troubles. 12 or 13 times a year, mine is sitting in the stands at a Blue Devils football game. If you don’t have a place that is your safe place, try and create one.

The reason we haven’t already jumped in the Car is we were trying to hold on for word from our Friend, Stephen Puckett about the new Sign that is supposed to be installed this morning at his Church. We hoped to see 👀 it happen but if not we will see it on Tuesday.

On that note 📝, I will use Stephen as an example for pulling the plug 🔌on Social Media. Stephen Puckett has a Church ⛪ with Pews and Windows and he uses it to try and reach people.

The Pastor could stand in the middle of US-58 and do the same, right ? More people would see him and hear him but the Speed Limit is 55 so I’m not sure how effective it would be. Plus he would then be subject to getting run over, honked out, etc, etc.

My sites are my Windows to the World 🌎 and I am very comfortable with a smaller Audience. The tag line is Encouraging the World, one person at a time !

The best part of the morning message today is that when the “Sermon ” is over, I won’t spend 15 minutes trying hard to Guess the correct people to “Tag” in hopes of drawing people in. I think that I have a few people that I have given Hope to and that’s the Mission. Because when I was making my weekly trip to the Pawn Shop to sell something so that we could feed our Kiddos, I could have used some.

Can’t wait until I can borrow from Mr. Bill Engvall and say to Pastor Stephen, here’s your Sign….

EFG – Education ➕ Faith = GOD, its a work in progress…

Have yourself a Blessed Day !
