Random Notes August 2007

Time with my Dad after the Whitcomb concert, He had never heard me sing before and cried.  He said it was the “most beautiful music he ever heard.” He never took my singing seriously growing up so finally having his blessing meant a lot!

Wow what a summer in this edition of Random Notes August 2007. From TN to MA to MI and then FL. God has truly been at work. I praise Him for traveling mercies indeed!

I even got honked at while ministering at the Drive-In-Bible church in MI. My kids have been all over God’s green earth as well. My teen went to Nazarene Youth Conference in St Louis and my tween went to Pre-Teen Camp, TN and Orlando, FL.

As I think back on these events I am grateful for the grandmother in MA that made it a point to tell me that her young granddaughters are now curious about heaven and asking questions that are only going to lead to salvation! I praise God for the woman in MA that is listening to my CD for encouragement to help her with her depression. I am humbled that a woman that won my CD in a door prize in Michigan. She is a two time cancer survivor and was thrilled to have my CD – it’s just me folks.

I have got to see kids graduate from HS and college, spend time with my family in MI and MA and just reflect on all God has blessed me with.

I so want to invest my life in a way that when I am gone the work will continue! How about you?

Life is a Gift

    • Today before you think of saying an unkind word – Think of someone who can’t speak.
    • Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
    • Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion.
    • Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
    • Before you complain about your children — Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
    • Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep – Think of the people who are living in the streets.
    • Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone who walks the same distance.
    • And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
    • But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another – Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one Maker.
    • And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.

Life is a gift… Live it… Enjoy it… Celebrate it… And fulfill it!

NEWSFLASHES – Two Events Coming Up

In November, I have been invited to be part of the Franklin Homecoming Jubilee. This is a Gaither style taping for DVD and will be available for all of you. Produced by Eddie Cook and Barbara Roach, this will feature some of Gospel Music’s finest.

In December, our TN District Nazarene Churches are combining our talents to minister in song at the Roy Acuff theater here in Nashville. This event is directed by Craig Adams, Marvin Jones and Nathan Rogers, all ministers of music in their respective churches. There will be about 300 voices in this combined effort and you will not want to miss this. Tell your friends and come and let God touch hearts and change lives.

I did very well at the Millie Lewis American Modeling Talent Convention/Competition (AMTC) in Orlando. I made some fantastic contacts and got some incredible experience and expertise from all the training. There were over 80 industry agents, scouts, and labels represented. No matter what you do by trade – do it with excellence and strive to always be better! I am looking forward to what God has in store next!

Prayers Requested

    • Please remember my home church as we embark in 24 hours of prayer from August 23-24th.
    • Please remember my dear friend Sharon in Alaska as she has make some changes in her employment and request you specifically pray for financial wisdom
    • Please remember my mother Mary as she is making plans to relocate to TN right here with me. She is no longer able to care for her mentally handicapped sister and we are searching for a home for my aunt here in TN. This needs to take place before she can truly move here.
    • Remember me as I am making some decisions myself – it is an unspoken request.
    • Thank you for your faithfulness to God in prayer for one another!
