The cement steps led up to a church built of grey stone; steeple towering above us, much like the sun in the heat of the day. A gentleman opened the front door and welcomed us inside with a smile. It had been a while since I visited a church where coming through the front door…

“Where Lutherans meet, Lutherans eat,” said the Pastor. The audience chuckled as he went on to explain that after the concert with Brian Free and Assurance, they would have a meal for everyone who wanted to stay. Squeezed in a pew just a few rows from the front, I couldn’t help but smile. Brian had…
The Paradise glided along the waterway, slowly leaving Tampa behind. On two decks in the front of the ship, passengers stood watching the city disappear and the water unfold before them. Though this was only my second Singing at Sea cruise, I had a feeling that this part of the trip would become tradition. There’s…

The lights dimmed low as a power point screen descended in front of the stage in the Red Gold Heritage Hall. Seconds later a promo video from Humana began to play. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that the location of the screen held my curiosity more than what was running on it. …
Drops of rain chased me into the church doors of Fellowship Baptist Church of Cape Girardeau in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. This was the last concert in our “May Madness SGM Mini Marathon”…one we weren’t really sure we’d make it out to. A few days previous (at that time) the F5 tornado went through Moore,…
