“We make 1700 pies every year,” said the lady at the concession stand. For a moment I thought I missed what she said, surely she said 700 instead of 1700. Then she continued, “We begin making them in March; once a week twelve of us get together at the church and form an assembly line…
“Everybody ready?” asked the driver, “Here we go…” The golf cart holding myself, my sister, mom, grandma and another lady bumped down the hill to the big white tent. I was sitting on the back, facing the parking lot and had to turn my head to see where we were going. The tent was decorated…
When disaster strikes, the harsh realities of life rush in. Our eyes are opened and we realize how blessed we really are. We stand on the sidelines and watch others go through things that we can’t imagine. If faced with the same circumstance, would our faith hold up? What would we do, if placed in…
Spoiled. That’s a good word to describe oneself after a week of walking the beach by day and hearing Gospel Singing by night. Spoiled?…most definitely. It’s something I won’t deny happening to me while in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for Singing in the Sun. There’s something rejuvenating in being near God’s creation, especially in that…

What made BFA’s concert extra special, was that it happened to be on my…
Every seat in the Main Street Music Hall was sold on Saturday night…as it was last year. The Booth Brothers were the featured artist for the closing night of the Great Lake of the Ozarks Gospel Sing and 1000 fans were in their seats and ready to go when Todd Foreman walked on stage. After…
Ah, yes. I know you’re just dying to know what the title of this post is referring to…but alas, you’ll have to read the review to find out! (I know, I’m mean. LOL) It was the second night of the Great Lake of the Ozarks Gospel Sing and if you haven’t already guessed, The Lesters…
A shrill wail howled outside the hotel window. Peeking between the curtains, I noticed a darkening sky.
