Our Morning 🌄 Brew for Tuesday, August 4th, is percolating early ! Is percolating really a word ?

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :

Four more softball games are set to be played today at East Carolina University…

Coach Lawson is hosting an open to the public practice today from 4 to 6!!!

Yesterday afternoon was an emotional moment for the Harris family, and Marion broke out his typewriter for a few minutes and captured the moment really well !

My big moment took place at Queen Charlotte’s Airport 🛫 as I was able to scoop up my wife after four months ! There is no rest for the weary as we start the next phase this morning.

Have a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏

Monday, August 3rd, is a Big Day for both the Harris family and ours and it’s part of the Morning 🌄 Brew !

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 🙌😇🙏

Know this, Mr Burress, you and yours are LOVED!

We wake up today and prepare to say goodbye to July! Brother Osborne has his own version of the coffee ☕️ mug shot yoday.

Morning 🌄 Brew

Psalm 31 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

There are a number of folks who are struggling with real-life situations this morning 🌄 and the hope of the Morning Brew is to give them a pleasant diversion at the start of their day.

Thank you to Joel Osteen, Travis Osborne, and Howard Mayo for helping shape that very thought process !

Get up, get started, and know that you are not alone !

Have a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏

Thursday night was Family Night 🌙for Carroll County High School Softball !

Carroll Wellness Center was full of smiles and joy as the Nester Family hosted their season ending gathering under one of the Pavillions on Wednesday evening.

Rick, Donna, Adam, and Kayla Nester ➕️ the three little ones that have been given credit for softening Papa up, were gracious hosts across the 90 minutes of celebration.

Principal Chuck Thompson joined the group, and while it is difficult to ever bat 1,000% with the planning for a large group, the Lady Cavaliers flirted with perfect attendance. Assistant Coach Travis Leath and recent graduate 🎓, Laiken Burnett, were two of the notable absentees. Bree Campbell was also unavailable due to another commitment.

Terry Warf stepped up to assist Coach Nester with his presentations, and the duo teased the gathering with a Guardian of the Galaxy style Dance 💃 off but a game of rock 🪨 , paper 📃, scissors ✂️ settled the question about which of the six seniors went home with the team banner… [Madison Coleman 👑]

Velvet Leonard and Tammy Quesenberry each have some pics 📸 from the evening and have shared them on social media.

If you add the fact that Addie Greene was gathering the items for Miss Burnett in addition to her own awards, the family car 🚗 was loaded down a bit.

The opportunity to share a word or two with so many members of the Softball family was certainly a treat. Six members of the team were participating in their final official act as a part of the program and they will be missed !
