"Canceled Run, Divine Plan: A Chance Meeting from Goldsboro to Minnesota"

I was thrilled to meet two people from Goldsboro, North Carolina, who came to the square. Goldsboro is where I was born and raised. I meet many people in North Carolina, but meeting people specifically from Goldsboro is rare. There was another one who had mentioned he was from Kinston, North Carolina, and I was excited because it made me feel like I was back home. We also talked about nearby small towns like Snow Hill and LaGrange, and it was nice to connect over our shared knowledge of these places.

To make things even better, we discussed the delicious barbecue at Wilbert's BBQ, where my father had worked for years. They also recommended a great barbecue place in Ayden, North Carolina. This whole experience really brightened my day at the square.

Just so you know, I'm still wearing my Running for Stolen Lives t-shirt because I had planned to support my colleagues in a 10-mile run today, but unfortunately, it was canceled due to the weather. However, I believe everything happens according to God's plan. Considering the weather conditions, some might be disappointed, but you never know if this cancellation may have saved someone's life today.

I want to thank the Lord for bringing my friends from Goldsboro to Minneapolis. Sending lots of love to North Carolina! I also asked them about Eastern Wayne High School, and they confirmed they were familiar with it. After all, who in Goldsboro wouldn't know about Eastern Wayne High School? You're absolutely right!
