Mark McElfresh, Joel Pritchard and Butch Carter

[beenutt]

The three amigos! The Lord has truly blessed the Dixie League with three of the best newcomers in the nation. Lavell and I have prayed together that the Lord would bless us with new people in our area who are interested in learning this great hobby. The Lord has answered our prayers. Guys, if you haven't met this great new coaches, you are in for a real treat. Joel_P1 lives one mile from me! He has the passion and the work ethic to be one of the greatest coaches in our hobby one day. He already has become a great tweaker and has great enthusiasm for the game. Mark (tbuc) just moved to our area from Florida and is a pastor. Mark is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He is always interested in learning more about the hobby - boards, figures, etc. Butch Carter is a high school football coach in North Carolina. He is a GREAT painter and is very knowledgable about football. He has enthusiasm for this hobby like no other I have ever met.

I just wanted to let these three know how much I appreciate them. Their enthusiasm has rubbed off on me and I am grateful to them for their friendship. Just a reminder to all out there: sometimes when you pray earnestly, the Lord says "YES".
