| So Abbey, anything happen over the weekend? |
Congratulations to Abbey and Isaiah!
 |
| Isaiah. You done good. |
Abbey told me that they were both so excited they kind blacked out when it all went down. But Isaiah checked - she did say yes! (more photos at the end)
 |
| Sarah Wilkins also got something put on her finger...a band-aid! Poor Sarah cut herself while washing the dishes on Tuesday night. Ouch!!! |
NEEDLESS TO SAY - IT WAS NOT AN ORDINARY WEEK!
ROUND TABLE
 |
| Tucker and guest artist Abe led us in worship |
We had our third and last Round Table of the year at the Davis home.
 |
| At this point it feels a little like home! |
 |
| We hammered out Thank You notes |
 |
| Myrtie shared a devotion |
 |
| Myrtie is truly one of the gang. |
LEADER LUNCH
 |
| Marshall White on the right |
Five Points Capital hosted the Fellows for our Leader Lunch this week. the master of ceremonies was Marshall White, a Partner at the firm.
I have to say it was one of the most educational leader lunches we have ever had. No one around the table has spent much time dabbling in the private equity market - it was good to learn what it was!
Marshall was so good - I think if you quizzed any of us, we would be able to tell you!
thank you Marshall for your generosity toward us. We are grateful for you!
LEADERSHIP WITH NIGEL ALSTON
 |
| Nigel let his hair down on Friday |
We had a second, amazing class with Nigel (seriously - if you are looking to learn Leadership - HIRE THIS MAN!)
 |
| The Gang |
During this session we learned about the power of story and how to listen to the values that underlie them.
For more...check out the second video at the end...

SPEAKING AT FCA AT DAVIDSON COLLEGE
 |
| Coach Steve Abell |
I was the warm-up act for the new Football Coach at Davidson, Steve Abell. What a great guy! And what great students! Go cats!
 |
| Earlier that day I prayed over the Piedmont from the top of Bluff Mountain |
SPEAKING OF RUNNING
 |
| Caleb McKillop |
 |
| Natalie went to cheer him on. Caleb finished in 1:03 - a 7:45 pace! |
YL CAPERNAUM
 |
| Me and Lizzie |
Natalie joined us at Young Life Capernaum this Saturday. That girl was everywhere!
 |
| More friends |
It was Knight and Princess Club.
HISPANIC LEAGUE
 |
| Lia had the honor of presenting an award at the Annual Hispanic League Gala |
 |
| I was sitting there thinking to myself - how in the world am I married to the prettiest girl in the room? |
 |
| I'm sure you're wondering the same thing |
MY FIRST FELLOWS GROUPIE!
 |
| Arturo and Sarabeth Tegada |
Before Sarabeth headed to the DR to work for Young Life and then date and then marry Arturo, she was my right hand woman for our inaugural class of the Fellows.
Yesterday, we had the chance to honor and bless her.
Congratulations Arturo and Sarabeth. We love you!
SHE BOUGHT A KAYAK!
 |
| Oh! And Morgan bought a kayak! And took it for a spin around Salem Lake! |
COUNT DOWN TO THE D.R.

ON A SADDER NOTE
We had to say good-bye to our precious Winnie on Sunday.
 |
| Twelve and a half years ago |
She had been suffering from cancer.
 |
| Yesterday |
She was the best Frisbee dog I have ever seen. And she never lost the ability. She caught one yesterday. She finished on a catch, in fact.
 |
| Summer and Winnie |
Summer is very sad. She hasn't eaten and every time she hears a noise at the door she runs up to see if it is her best friend. It is heartbreaking.
 |
| One of my favorite photos |
This is one of my favorite pictures. We were on Stone Mountain, trying to take a family picture with the timer. We had given up on keeping Winnie still, so we left her to her druthers, which included running in circles around us at top speed. Somehow the camera caught her just as she was coming into view.
 |
| The toughest most fearless and affectionate dog I knew |
