Crisp, cold air blew in my face as I emerged from the elevator into the cool morning breeze. It was Tuesday morning, and we were up early and ready for the second session of the Great Smokies Praisefest! While driving down the street toward New Hope, I couldn’t help but notice the majestic Smoky Mountains…
Navigating up the steep drive with our SUV, my thoughts were drawn back to spring when we motivated up a similar incline to the Mansion Theater…and the very first “Praisefest Branson.” Only this time, instead of Branson, Missouri – we were in Sevierville, Tennessee. Men in bright orange vests waved flashing red sticks, directing us…

Greater Vision was the last group to perform before the intermission and kicked off their set with a well-loved number, He’d Still Been God. As the song ended Gerald’s eyes lit up and he let out a whoop! Then he hit the next track – a medley of hymns with the theme “redeemed.” (Since I…
After a trek to Nebraska on Wednesday I found myself driving to another concert that very Saturday, only this one took me in the opposite direction – Tennessee!
