A Joy Kay Yow and Kristi Walker Know - And the Lessons Kay Yow Taught Us

EVERY EXPERIENCE GOD GIVES US,
EVERY PERSON HE PUTS IN OUR LIVES
IS THE PERFECT PREPARATION
FOR A FUTURE ONLY HE CAN SEE.
- Corrie Ten Boom


This Corrie Ten Boom quote applies to the ladies gone before us in this community.

Since I just read this for the first time today and it made such an impact, I thought I should make a note of it tonight and share it here.

The News & Observer had a great article on Coach Kay Yow. Here's a quick bullet point worth sharing. Makes me wish I had played NC State Women's Basketball for some of those 38 years.

Lessons From Kay Yow:
Kay Yow left a legacy for playing basketball and how to face life.
(1) Find Time For Those Who Need You;
(2) Never Stop Learning;
(3) Pray For Patience; and
(4) Focus on the Positive.

She was many things. A Christian, patient, positive and prepared. The Legacy lives on.

While we're on legacy's of note, here is a little more personal information about the amazing Kristi Winters Walker. Keep praying those close to her family say they are doing amazingly well all things considered. These ladies know this kind of joy.

"Joy is not the absence of suffering, it is the presence of God."

Tigers and Tennis Camp

Tennis Camp went well! Private camp - with Mama Coach went surprisingly well. Even with Adult Racquet's! The Tigers are somewhere in between the Junior Racquet's I just purchased and my, yes my, Over sized Prince which I love.

I am really jazzed about the balls for beginners that I found. The density is set so that the ball can be hit appropriately while learning and not swing off to the next state. Sounds like I wouldn't mind just playing with these.

The boys loved playing with the drills I had learned at my private tennis lessons years ago. It is funny how they think like multiples. I try to focus in on individual instruction and they do so much better when I talk 'in group' to them. So I resorted to my lesson days. My Daddy would be proud. The boys loved it were asking again today.

They were very enthusiastic, it is just the photo shoot afterwards was not top of the list.

So with the new Junior Racquet's, we'll be playing more tennis Friday and/or Saturday.

We do have a "play date" planned for tomorrow - this one a double - friends with a boy and girl 7 and 9. Gracious friends, two on two. Ahhh, no tears of being left out. (yet. ;)
