Hey Krew:
It's been a few weeks since I wrote to you. I
have been pretty busy the last few weeks so I
haven't taken the time to get my thoughts
together.
On April 22 I sang at the Doyle, TN Church of
the Nazarene. Cheryl Hensley arranged to have me
there and it was great to see her and meet
Pastor Bill Welch and the people of that church.
We had a special treat when my friends in the
quartet Anchored came over to be with us and
sing a few song. They are a new young group and
sound great!
The Cruise to the Bahamas was a great week. The
weather was perfect, the food was great (see
where my priorities are) the fellowship was
great, the singing was pretty good too! LOL.
Shane Dunlap and I sure missed Anthony Burger
but we decided to go on the cruise and have a
good time. We had friends from Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia, and Massachusetts.
Each afternoon we would gather in the Voltage
Disco Lounge (not sure if they have had any
Southern Gospel in there or not) and sing.
Several times, we had guests who were not a part
of our group come in and hear the music. There
are lots of pictures on the webpage
www.kirktalley.com
of the cruise and some of the
fun things that occurred during the week. One
night Shane Dunlap entered the karaoke contest (
he lost). He also showed a few of our group his
dancing skills. LOLOLOLOLOL
We are planning another cruise in the spring of
next year. All the details haven't been worked
out yet but .....stay tuned.
From the Cruise, I drove up to Myrtle Beach for
a Saturday morning service, a part of the
Singing In The Sun. It was great to see so many
people that I haven't seen in a while. Abraham
Promotions holds a very special place in my
heart. I was on the board of that organization
for several years and I really believe in what
they are doing, therefore it was a real treat to
be a part of their program again. The Lord
really blessed on Saturday morning as I sang.
After the service was over, I met so many people
who were a blessing to me.
I stayed in Myrtle Beach on Saturday night. Some
friends and I went to see the new Robin Williams
movie called RV. It's hilarious! The next day we
traveled up to Coward SC for a great service at
the Bible Temple. Pastor Martin Jackson was so
nice to me again. I had been there years ago and
it was great to see the people at that church
again . It was great to see Pete and Shirley
Ward from Sumter SC again.
This past week, I worked at the store a couple
of days, and then started getting ready for a
yard sale! That's right, this past
Saturday I had a yard sale! I found out
that my neighbors were having one, I was going
to be at home and I decided while they had run
ads in the paper and put up signs, I might as
well take advantage of the people that would
already be turning around in my driveway! So I
started rounding up stuff that I didn't use any
longer. All day long, I worked that yard sale.
Yard Sales are an interesting collection of
people and children and prices and questions. I
won't be doing those often! At the end of
the day, Pootie Puppy and I were exhausted.
Sunday, I had the opportunity to hear the Crist
Family. I had never met them in person but
certainly had heard their music on the radio. I
heard that they were going to be singing at a
local church so I decided I would go. I was so
thrilled with their ministry and their story.
They moved to East Tennessee from Seattle
Washington to be more involved in Southern
Gospel Music. There are seven singers on the
stage, all family members, and all good singers.
They have some great songs and great
testimonies. You should check them out and order
their newest CD

After the morning service, I came home and
jumped on my motorcycle and rode up to
Gatlinburg. I stopped at a Mexican restaurant
for some lunch and while I was there, the sky
broke open and it came a downpour. It rained the
entire time I was there. Finally I gave up and
started home in the rain. By the time I got down
to Pigeon Forge, I was so wet, there was not a
dry stitch of clothing on me. Every time I
lifted my left foot to change gears, the water
would run from the
front of my shoe down to the back of my shoe.
What an eerie feeling. I finally made it home to
"wring out" my clothes and get in the dry.
Today I am running errands and trying to get
ready to go to Canada on Wednesday. Pootie Puppy
and I are going to visit my parents this
afternoon so that will be an interesting time!
I hope to see some friends in Canada. I have
four dates up there this week so I will be busy.
Thanks for ordering the Devotional Book, " A
Year In The Now". Everyone really loves it. Here
is an email I received from a lady that loves
it.
Kirk,
Thank you so much for making the "Year In The
Now"
available to us. I can't believe how it has been
so
timely in my life. Every morning, it has been
such a
blessing and an encouragement to my life. I have
been
through some very difficult times with family
members
and each morning, I have found the will power
and the
determination to face another day through the
devotionals in the book. Has this pastor written
more?
Mary
If you haven't ordered your copy, you should get
one. www.kirktalley.com
Well I got to get to the cleaners and pick up
some shirts. Thanks again for your love, prayers
and
support.
Hope to see you all soon
Kirk
