“Encouragement is the oxygen of the soul, everybody needs and performs better when they get it.” (comment from the Leadership Bible–John Maxwell)  This photo was taken at the Team Heros Dinner that Courtney attended.  The purpose of the dinner was for the half-marathon participants to meet the team heros.  These are the people in her community that have blood cancers.  She said that meeting Adam ( the tall young man in the photo) was the highlight of the whole evening!!  The gratitude of the team heros to the runners was inspiring and very humbling. 

As Courtney was encourgaged by her “Team Heros”, I am encourgaged and inspired by her as a young woman, not just by her participation in this marathon.  She has always been a “can do” person…if she believes in what she is doing.  

The Bible tells us to encourage and pray for one another…my question to you today is, “Who will you encourage and pray for today?”
