Have you ever noticed that when we talk about events, we never say we’re looking forward to the end of an event, but the beginning? Times of beginning stir up anticipation and excitement. And if you’re a Gospel Music fan experiencing a bit of cabin fever, then maybe you’ve felt that kind of anticipation about…
The 35th Anniversary Kicks Off In 3, 2, 1!
Most events start with an evening concert, but if you’re in Marion, Illinois the first third full weekend of March for the Truthseekers Homecoming, the weekend starts on Thursday morning.

The Tale of the Whale
According to today’s title, you may have thought it meant a story about a whale or maybe the whale’s physical tale – either way, you’re correct! Orca whales were seen off the starboard side of the ship all morning and into the afternoon as we sailed toward Alaska. If you would have told me that…
Alaska Bound
Dink. The crew member handed back my passenger ID card as I stepped onto Holland America’s ms Westerdam for the first time. The feeling of being on a ship again was exhilarating! Pulling my carry-on luggage behind me, my mom, sister and I weaved around the hallways of the ship to our stateroom. This was…
CD Review: Still – Booth Brothers
When I first heard about Still, I was interviewing the Booth Brothers for the August cover story of the Singing News. This was back in the summer of 2014 and after completing successful phone calls, texts and emails to Michael, Ronnie and Jim (who was still with the trio at the time), I could not…
Still Sold Out
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…
Midnight Makes The Year New
On New Year’s Eve Day, after the morning session, we had lunch in the Delta and walked the gardens. It’s a tradition for us. Nothing initiates the creative process in me like a camera in my hand surrounded by perfect scenery! We meandered through the walkways and I stopped to snap a photo of a…
GIVE-A-WAY: Still…
I just came home from a wonderful few days in Nashville at the beautiful Gaylord Opryland Resort. Legacy Five hosts their NYE Celebration there each year and it’s a blast! This year, well, actually the last few hours of last year, I heard the Booth Brothers with their new baritone singer, Paul Lancaster, and picked…
