Returning to the Gymnasium at Hillsville Elementary School 🏫 is just hours away, and that highlights our Morning 🌄 Brew !

Welcome 🙏 to Sunday morning 🌄 and here in a bit, we will be adding the Bible Verse of the Day from Travis Osborne.

Meanwhile, the focus can shift to getting back to the most natural thing that I do here in Carroll County, assisting the efforts of Coach Vickey Ritchie at Hillsville Elementary School 🏫 on a Sunday afternoon.

It has been a hot minute since we have been in the gym together, but hopefully, things will just fit into place quickly. From 2 to 4 pm. today, the goal will be to provide someone unconditional support in their efforts to bring joy and acceptance into the lives of others !

There is something powerful in clarity, and that is what you want anytime you step out into the public eye. Knowing that your efforts will help make the difference in another’s day !

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

       Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Also, at 2 p.m., it will be Game 2 in the AUSL Championship series.

Have a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏

Pop Quiz : Where does one go when they are missing both Jay Neal / Strasburg Express and Vickey Ritchie and Special Olympics Basketball ? Find the nearest ballpark is the answer !

So what if the actual temperature 🌡is 103 because it is a dry heat 🥵….

Jay Neal is part of my Pick-  Six of folks that God saw fit to put in my life. Today is our annual OneofUs.Care Day at the ballpark up in Strasburg, and this will be the first time that we won’t be in the park for it.

Jay has promised me that once again, he will shower 🚿 our efforts with kindness. Don’t worry, Jay, you are not alone in struggling for a proper way to explain the efforts of our group.

Jay Neal, ladies and gentlemen, is as legitimate of a person as you can find. Back in the day, he chose Virginia Tech University over Duke University as a place to further his education and his football career.

Back in 1974, Jay hauled in four passes for 84 yards = Blazing speed and good hands !

Jay will downplay his efforts in my life, but that’s because showing random kindness to others is just a part of his day to day routine !

20 minutes before first pitch and both mascots have made it out of the lockeroom.

Stay hydrated, my friend !

Vickey Ritchie is now in her 2-4 pm window 🪟 of joy ! Bad luck in that she was gone for the last two Sunday afternoons that I was around, and now I’m gone for a few. Thoughts and Prayers for another terrific day at Hillsville Elementary School 🏫.
