July 3rd begins at the RDU Airport 🛫 and with a Bible Verse or two. Happy Birthday 🎂 Eve to our Awesome Country !

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

Laurel Fork to RDU to the Big Apple 🍎 and then on to Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦. The next 9 days and 8 nights 🌙 will be spent North of the Border and with my two remaining siblings.

This loop will be different for a number of reasons, with the biggest one being no Baseball games to take in. There is still plenty of ball to write ✍️ about from Florida, just no new ones to pursue.

Getting to the airport a little early allowed American Airlines to move me up to the early flight ✈️ to NYC and more time there.

Coach Mayo will check in a little later today with his Motovational Nugget, and we will display it here below.

During the NY layover, there should be time for the next Softball Capsule !

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌

6:54 Departure time, 96 minute flight ✈️, see you on the other side.

Welcome 🙏 to July and the prelude for America 🇺🇸 turning the Big 250 !

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :

Congratulations 🎊 to another one of our neighbors as Mexico 🇲🇽 has joined Canada 🇨🇦 in the Sweet 16 ! Canada had never won a knockout match, and Mexico not since the 1980s.

The United States 🇺🇸 of America will look to make it 3 for 3 for the host countries tonight.

Have yourself a BlessedDay  🙌

It is time to say goodbye to June of 2026 ! Let’s make it a great day !!

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Psalm 63:3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Vickey Ritchie sent in an uplifting note 📝 yesterday that included both Kevin DeHaven and Brett Petty !

Today, during the wrap-up (retrieving equipment from the Track Classic), Kevin DeHaven stopped by to congratulate Brett from CCSO on being such a good worker.

Then, he proceeded to tend to the soccer ⚽️ pitch himself. It won’t be long before Tommy Thompson Field returns to be the gridiron for Carroll County High School football !

Mr DeHaven is wearing a souvenir from his recently completed trek out to Omaha, Nebraska, for the College World Series !

Thank you, Vickey Ritchie and Brother Osborne. Here in a bit, we will hear from Joel Osteen and Howard Mayo, adding both messages below.

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌
