Day #2 of work is in the books 📚 and now we all head in different directions until Tomorrow morning 🌄.

It’s time for me to head across the Boulevard, where I become a trio of things for Jason Petty and Cindy Edwards. First, their announcer, Second, their Sportswriter and Third, their Head Cheerleader !

If you need to take a break from Life for a few hours, come join us at 6pm

Thank You Bill Gallimore 🙏 for the invitation to join you and the others for your weekly Devotional that takes place on Tuesdays !

The group gets together every Tuesday morning 🌄 at 7:30 at the First United Methodist Church ⛪ on The Hill. They have entered into their 8th year together and there were groups meetings with other names prior to the O.D.E.R.T. No that does not stand for older than dirt, it stands for Oliver, Dennis, Ed, Rick and Tom.

Jeff Holderfield is not in the photo 📷 due to having to leave a few minutes early for a meeting.

Being given an opportunity to sit at a table and speak about my calling and passion with a group of distinguished Men was nothing short of a Blessing from God !

We have all experienced quite a week so it was great to sit with other People of Faith and recharge the battery , something this group does without fail each and every week.

Thank You Bill for the invite. Thank You to Tom Jackson, Rick Clark, Rick Beasley, Oliver McBride, Richard Webb, Dennis Ward, Ed Terry, Jeff Holderfield and Carl Ginder for sharing your Circle 🔵 with me !!

Brett Petty is pictured here running 🏃‍♂️ alongside his mentor, Justin Ward.

Blacksburg, Virginia –

The gang got an early start this morning and were out in full force to support Brett in his efforts !

Brett has been competing in a few events as of late and when he does, he’s never alone. Absolutely love 💘 the signs !

Justin’s wife Krista and daughter Kylie Ward, runners in their own right but spectators today (pictured below). They and Justin run in Spartan races. Brett has done one with them.

No rest for the weary as the group will still be meeting up for Basketball practice from 3pm to 5pm at Hillsville Elementary School 🏫 later today.

Others cheering Brett on include

Charlotte and Dr David McPherson and Agape and Jeannie and her younger Sister (pictured above). Vicky Town is in the Blue Jacket.

Great to see folks supporting 👏 Brett!

His mentor, Justin Ward was expecting Brett to run it out an 11 minute pace which is faster than he’s been training. He was hoping for a 1030 pace but in actuality he averaged a 10:16 pace, which is excellent.!!

6am on a Sunday morning and trying to figure out what is the next logical step 🚶‍♂️ in the process. Today was supposed to be the back end of a Appalachian State University Field Hockey 🏑 weekend in Boone. But as you see in the photo 📷, above, Boone won’t be the same for quite some time.

The School has gotten together with the folks from Central Michigan University and found a field in Charlotte to play on today. CMU was already in the Commonwealth, having played at James Madison University in Harrisonburg on Friday afternoon.

Back 🏡, our place is still without electricity (Friday at 10am) so wanting to race back is tougher. Love the fact that the High School 🏫 is opening the doors 🚪 again today to help those in a similar situation.

The number of towns in our region that will never be quite the same for a long, long time is heartbreaking. My own personal experience with my very first Car 🚗, a 1971 Mercury Comet, after it went underwater in a subdivision during a Flash Flood, reminds me that the Car never smelt normal again. Having to swim out the window to keep from drowning was interesting as well for a 17 year old.

Galax, Fries, Marion and Radford are just some of the local communities that I have seen photos of that will be dealing with this for a long, long time.

Happy that our Cross Country team had a diversion on Saturday as did our High School football team. Such an odd Sunday morning 🌄 and I don’t see how it can keep from being an odd Monday morning.

Prayers for everyone dealing 🙏 with the oddness.
