August News
Ouch! It’s the 13th already! As you can most likely gather, I’ve been a bit behind on posting the last couple of weeks. But I hope it’s not too late to write the August newsletter! You may have noticed that I missed July’s, but honestly, July was different this year. For the first time, I…
A Preacher and A Prayer…

Singing in the Sun!
I think it’s pretty safe to say that not every Gospel Sing you attend has a whale painted on the side of the building…but the Myrtle Beach Convention Center does! If you’re in Myrtle Beach, SC in mid-April, you can walk right in that convention center and enjoy Singing in the Sun. This five day…
May – Make a Difference!
The theme for May can be wrapped up in one word – grow! We all know the saying, “April showers bring May flowers.” Well, rain (water source) helps flowers to grow, and life can sure pour down some thundershowers on our lives. Maybe its doing so now in yours, so why don’t we use that…
