Turning back the clock ⏰️ to the Grand old Days where we all lived in ” Paul’s World 🌎 “

Paul Nester is the unofficial Luientant Governor of Laurel Fork, Virginia, and we are fortunate to have him around.

Here he is with two of his numerous grandchildren, Ethan Richardson and Landon Phillips. Landon is assisting him with a project out here, and Ethan is holding down the fort for his father 👨, Kris.

Paul Nester is one of the good guys that represents our village in a manner that we can all be proud of !

Great big brother, loving husband and father ➕️ awesome  Poppy to eight grandchildren. All three daughters, their spouses, and little ones are within shouting distance of the village.

Any day that has me cross paths with Paul Nester is a great day !

Next Stop ✋️ Abingdon High School 🏫

We lost a great leader and protector yesterday. While I never had the privilege of knowing our Deputy, I do know our Sherriff and what his department stands for.

Thoughts and prayers 🙏 go out to everyone who is feeling like they lost someone who was near and dear to them. God Bless 🙌 everyone who is currently involved with the Man Hunt and the family of the other Deputy who was wounded.

Travis Osborne is busy today celebrating the Birth of his first born today ( Happy Birthday 🎂 Kiddo) but still took the time to share his Bible Verse of the Day…

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus

Later today, it will be time to head over to Hillsville Elementary School to see how I can be of assistance to Coach Vickey and our Special Olympics Basketball program. This is how I came to know Sherriff Kemp years ago, and I’m better for knowing him.

  Rest in Peace, Brother Utt and know that you touched many, many lives along your journey.

Not your typical Morning Brew, but yesterday was not your typical day.

Saturday morning 🌄 is here with a moment of silence for our Police community 🙏

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear

While I try my very best to keep everything I do as light as possible in hopes of bringing joy and lifting spirits, an event took place last night in the southern part of our county that hurts in a manner that cannot be ignored.

Everyone who wears a uniform and protects us sits at the top of any list one could make. Whether it is the armed forces, state patrol, police officer, or sheriff’s department, our world is a better place because of their sacrifice for our safety.

I will borrow from the words of Ronnie Collins in hopes of updating our readers.

Thank you, Mr Collins

Have a Blessed Day 🙌 and say a prayer for everyone involved with this tragedy.
