The last night of the Indian Creek Memorial Day Weekend Gospel Singing featured a line-up with The Kingsmen, Whisnants and Brian Free and Assurance. For me, the three days we spent in Georgia went by too quickly and I tried to keep the thought of packing up and driving back home at bay. Like each…
The golf cart zoomed from the grass lot downhill to the tent. This afternoon, the sun kept its warm rays shining down on us as a cool breeze wafted our way. There was already a line of folks waiting to enter the tent and the concession stand had quite a lengthy line as well. It…
Over Memorial Day Weekend we packed up and drove to Carnesville, Georgia for the Indian Creek Memorial Day Weekend Gospel Singing. We attended this sing for the first time last year (2014) and fell in love with the area, church staff and atmosphere the weekend promoted. This year they had fantastic talent lined up and…
Yesterday afternoon, I stood on my front porch and watched three baby raccoons cackle as they made their way across my yard. Mentally, I was trying to keep track of what needed done before I left to drive to a concert, but with three adorable masked fur balls in my yard I was a bit…
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6 Every evening Todd would open the concert with prayer and a short Scripture reading. The familiar verses above were the ones pondered Friday night. “When…
No tornado sirens…no high winds…and no “gathering in the lobby of the hotel.” Whew. C. S. Lewis once said that nothing happens the same way twice. Something I was grateful for this year at the Great Lake of the Ozarks Gospel Sing in Osage Beach, Missouri. Last year was…quite the adventure. 😉 This year, we…
The time on my iPhone read seven o’clock. From the lobby, I could hear music begin in the auditorium through the speakers wired into the foyer. As the past two nights of the Truthseekers Homecoming, we were looking forward to another wonderful line-up. The guests for the evening were Greater Vision and The Mark Trammell…
As quickly as my wobbly high heels would take me, I ascended the grand staircase to the balcony of the Marion Cultural and Civic Center. By the time I found my seat on the last row, The Truthseekers were singing The Blood is Still There, a beautiful mid-tempo ballad about the eternal value of the…
A dilemma. That’s what I found myself in almost one year ago when I learned that two of my favorite Gospel Sings were booked for the exact same dates for 2015. For the last several years, February weather had given The Truthseekers a few surprises during their Homecoming. Last year, a tornado wiped out the…
Fifteen minutes after we returned to the ship, The Paradise left Cozumel. The idea of being on a seven hour excursion when you’re only in port for eight hours can cause some anxiety, but since it was a Carnival excursion it was Carnival’s responsibility to get us back to the ship. Therefore, they couldn’t leave…
