It's Fall Y'all
I'm living with a whole lotta gratitude in my heart for how this Fellows Program has blessed this city (and me personally). It was another great week. There were ups and downs. Happy moments. Sad moments.
You know what it was? Real life. Real, gritty, honest to goodness life together with people committed to chasing after the same things you are committed to chase after.
Thankful for this partner in crime.
It has been super fun working with Heather "Hef" Turner

Round Table
We were hosted by our very own Fellows alumni: Haley, Reiley and Brianne.
The food was great. The darts were great. The watermelon was plentiful.
Worship was rich. Hef gave a great talk. And great times were had by all.

Leader Lunch with Nigel
There are few people who command my attention on Zoom for over an hour. Nigel Alston is one of them. Once again, the man delivered.
To say I am thankful for this man and for the mentor he has been in my life just doesn't get to it.
 |
| We will get to see more of Nigel as this year goes on |
After Leader Lunch we

FARM LIFE
As part of living at Crossnore and since we are limited in the ability that we have to interact with the children here (because of Covid), we are going to volunteer with Eric Mathis on the Miracle Grounds Farm
