Queen of Katwe

This looks like an inspiring story, with interesting ties to Chapel Hill.

“Phiona Mutesi is the ultimate underdog. To be African is to be an underdog in the world. To be Ugandan is to be an underdog in Africa. To be from Katwe is to be an underdog in Uganda. And finally, to be female is to be an underdog in Katwe.”

Make it a great Monday

Mom and I joined Lucy and a number of her friends at church yesterday (at Riverbend Church) for Lily Young's Baptism. The 11:15AM service is described this way: Participatory, Modern, Band-led style of worship in our main auditorium - The Home for Hope. The band was great, including this Bob Dillon song, Gotta Serve Somebody. The pastor was also quite good, Pastor Dave Haney. 

Lucy gave Lily a devotional book after the service. During the service, Mom found this devotional on our anniversary date, September 17th. It is a great message for us right now!

Nuggets from Dad returns

Such a cool picture of our Lucy May Singletary!
Hey girls,

I had a great anniversary weekend with mom, and now it is my birthday week! I've decided to bring Nuggets back, but this time the posts will only go to our immediate family, at least for a while. 

I want to take some time to write about the transition we are going through, as we start the process of downsizing. Some of what I will be sharing will be information that we should keep among ourselves. I think it is important that we have a way of documenting and reflecting on what we are doing, especially to so everyone understands why we are doing this and how it will help going forward.

So starting tomorrow, look for some daily doses of Dad's nuggets. So that I know everybody is getting the posts, could you all shoot me a text to confirm that you received this one?

Thanks and I love you all!

Dad
