| This girl runs with heart! |
I'm celebrating Kelly Martin today. A year ago, she suffered a career ending knee injury that cut short her final season of collegiate athletics.
A year later, she is training to complete her first half-marathon! What a difference a year makes! I'm so proud of this woman.
She has gotten into every Physical Therapy program she applied to. More than that, I have seen this woman mature and grow by leaps and bounds in her faith.
We will be retiring her number after this season.
We love you Kelly! You go girl!
THE WEEK
Round Table with Chris and Virginia Perry was memorable. Chris usually brings a great question to the group. This week, he brought a song. The worship song "Roadhouse Blues" by the Doors.
He shared the lines:
"Woke up this morning and I got myself a beer.
The future's uncertain but the end is always near."
We had a robust conversation about the future and the end being near...
We then went around and shared some lyrics we thought were deep. I caught Laura Johnson singing Hamilton on tape, but I promised her I wouldn't show it.
A great night was had by all.
Leader Lunch with Jade and Jessie Costen. We ate...drumroll please...Chik-fila! Our favorite! Ha! Jade and Jessie operate the Chik-fila at Thruway Shopping Center.

| Nice product placement |
Jade and Jessie have such a great story. They embody GRIT, resilience, and drive. I want those! We also had the privilege of meeting their new puppy!
 |
| Their new little Sunshine |
Congrats to Emmy getting into Speech Pathology School! Costens for the win!
WEDNESDAY FELLOWS BOARD MEETING. We had a great night together with ourselves! I didn't get a picture, but we have one great board!
 |
| Actually. There in the back. Board members Gardner (unpictured) and Virginia (pictured) are discussing my fate most likely. |
FRIDAY and SATURDAY We enjoyed class with one of our newest professors Tim Gardner (need to get a picture) and Joe Moore.
A great line-up.
The weather wasn't cooperating, so we bagged the camping idea. The Fellows went to a trampoline park.
I hung out with my friend Eric Mathis at Crossnore for planting day.
