The night was about to begin. In the cave, Duane Garren was leading the congregation in singing an old hymn and the first group to sing, Greater Vision, was walking in from the hall to the stage area.

The click of my high heels echoed in the hall quickly becoming lost in the countless sounds of other footsteps, voices and the occasional cell phone ring. I had just come from the Exhibit Hall and was anxious to weave through the crowd and find a seat in the arena. The buzz urged me to…
Hello everyone! I just returned home from a GREAT week in Louisville, Kentucky at the National Quartet Convention, and now I’m “stocked up” and ready for the September give-a-way! This give-a-way will be different than any other we’ve done so far this year. I’m so excited! One lucky winner will not receive just two, but…
