Pictures from Training at JINHO Martial Arts Academy

T’Money had a great time today with his new friends. Here are some pictures. The kid he actually spars with at the end of the pictures was probably 12 years old and almost 100 pounds. Tough kid and T’Money held his own with him even though the bigger kid won the match.

The guy in the background is Master Doug who invited him to the Dojang to train after he saw him spar at the Referee Seminar yesterday. This guy is a an awesome instructor. Love the opportunities T’Money is getting to train with some really great people.

Tim's 2025 Accomplishments!

Tim had a huge year in 2025, moving through three weight classes. He began in the 61 kg division and finished in the 71 kg division, with the June weight category update shifting the weight classes. Despite all the transitions, Tim made tremendous progress. He earned 4 Gold Medals, 4 Silver Medals (6 Silver finishes) & 3 Bronze Medals (4 Bronze finishes) - which were his 1st USA National Level Medals. To top all that off he is the record holder for the snatch & total in the Youth 71kg division for WSO Carolinas. A standout year filled with growth, experience, and momentum for Tim.

Heaven Is Brighter Because You Are There!!! - Lisa Young 2.31.1959-6.21.2021

Always remembering my good friend Lisa Young. She will always hold a special place in not only my heart but my husbands as well. She was instrumental in bringing us together. She will forever be in our hearts and she will never be forgotten. "IN EVERYTHING WE HAVE WON MORE THAN A VICTORY BECAUSE OF CHRIST WHO LOVES US. I AM SURE THAT NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD'S LOVE-NOT LIFE OR DEATH, NOT ANGELS OR SPIRITS, NOT THE PRESENT OR THE FUTURE, AND NOT POWERS ABOVE OR POWERS BELOW. NOTHING IN ALL CREATION CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD'S LOVE FOR US IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!" ROMANS 8:37-39 (CEV)

Heaven's Gain Our Loss

Louise Holcomb Speckhart, 51, entered into her Heavenly home on Thursday, January 11, 2024. I take comfort in knowing that we will see one another in Heaven someday. This hymn has been on my mind since her passing. "When We All Get To Heaven": Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed He'll prepare for us a place. When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory! While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will overspread the sky; But when trav'ling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh. Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay. When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory! Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we'll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open; We shall tread the streets of gold. When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory!

Heaven Gained a Hero Aug. 16, 1935 to May 16, 2024 - 88 years old

It's hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember. Pop (Franklin Eugene Neal) was born in Ashland, KY. He graduated Thomas R. Brown High School and was a proud Army National Guard Veteran. He loved cars and working on them. He loved racing them with his boys, Jeff and Scot. He could fix just about anything. If he didn't have a tool for something then he'd make it. He valued family above everything. He loved traveling and going to amusement parks with his kids and grandkids, especially Disney World. He will forever be missed and forever be in our hearts! (this is not his official Obit)
