Hello Krew

Can you believe it's this hot? Man oh man, I have never felt the heat like this before. I am trying to stay inside where it's cool but Pootie loves to go out side and chase bugs and all kinds of varmints. I hope it's cooler where you are!

The trip to NC was very good. I enjoyed seeing a lot of Krew Members in Maiden and Gastonia. We had really good services in both places. There are some pictures on the webpage of the Saturday evening concert and the Sunday Morning Service in Gastonia.

This past weekend, I sang in Sweetwater, Tennessee and Knoxville, TN. Saturday nights service was at a small Methodist Church out in the country, a beautiful little place, and I had a good time there. That little congregation still sings out of the old "Red Book" that my Dad has used all his life. I knew all the songs that were in the book and even led the congregation in several of those! Special Thanks to Linda Thomas for arranging the concert on Saturday Night. Sunday Mornings service was great in Knoxville. Jeremy Sayne opened the service with a solo and then I sang. We had a lot of visitors there and it was great to see some of my associates from Belk show up. Lisa Koontz put it all together and I want to tell everyone to go by and see her at Belk's, Westtown if you are in the East Tennessee area.

TV TAPINGS

This past Monday, I was a guest on CTV in Pittsburg PA. Dean and Mary Brown were the hosts for the show and I gave my testimony and sang a few songs. They had lots of call in's for prayer and said that they would re-air the program several times during the next few weeks. I went from Pittsburgh to Atlanta to be a part of Nancy Harmon's TV show. We filmed 5 shows to be aired on the Church Network, a division of TBN. On one of the programs, Nancy impulsively asked me if I knew her song "I've Come Too Far." I knew it but had never sung it, but I did that day on TV with no rehearsal! Congratulations to Nancy on her number #1 song, recorded by the Hoppers.
