August 29, 2006 Hello Krew. It's still hot here in Tennessee, still in the 90's and very humid. Hopefully fall will be here soon!. I had a great time in Indiana and Ohio this past weekend. I headed to Indiana on Saturday for a concert in Richmond Indiana. I found a Skyline Chili on the way up there and of course had to stop for my usual inverted three way, dried, with two cheese coneys! This was my second time at the Trinity Worship Center and Pastor Marcum and all the folks there are so nice. It was great to see Joyce Martin, and her daughter Carol, grandson Justin and granddaughter Kelly. Joyce cooked a good meal and it was a good concert. Sunday Morning, I was in Cincinnati, Ohio at Montgomery Assembly of God. Pastor Rodney Dukes invited me to be with his congregation and I had a grand time there. Pastor Dukes is a wonderful speaker. He reminds me of Robert Shular in his speaking, and he is about the kindest preacher I have met! Jeremiah Hembree, the assistant pastor, made sure I had everything I needed and was very hospitable! They took me to a good lunch after the morning service. The evening service was a wonderful time. Lots of Krew members came from all over the area, and it was great to see Phil and Kim Collingsworth there also. At the end of the service, many people came forward to pray. After the service was over, Pastor Dukes ordered in Montgomery Inn Ribs! Oh my goodness, the best ribs I have ever had! If you are ever in Cincinnati, you have to go to the Montgomery Inn and get the ribs! On Monday, I drove down to Ashland Kentucky to be a guest on GOSPEL MUSIC SHOWCASE on the Daystar Network. Tammy Underwood, formerly of the Perry Sisters, is the hostess for the show and I did six songs plus an interview. During the interview, as I was sharing a condensed version of my testimony, a big black fly kept buzzing around our heads. Several times it landed on Tammy's hair while I was talking but I just kept talking. It buzzed in front of my face, it buzzed and landed on my knees, it was almost like it was in an invisible box in front of Tammy and me. Finally, I couldn't stand it any longer. As I was talking in a very serious moment, that fly lit on the end of my nose! Just as I reached up to wipe it off, it flew off and I clapped my hands and killed that sucker in mid air! ON CAMERA!!!!! We laughed and laughed. Tammy said that was the first time anyone had committed murder while filming her show. After a stop and an edit, we finally continued with the interview. After we finished with Tammy's show, I was then special guest of Tri State Celebration, a live, local TV show hosted by pastor Tim Throckmorton, from Plymouth Nazarene Church. Tim made me feel very much at east and comfortable as I shared my testimony. I sang "Intimacy With Jesus" and the holy spirit fell in the studio. There were a few guests in the studio and they along with the camera men, producers, had tears in their eyes. It was really a special moment as the Holy Spirit was evident in the room. After a good meal of Bayou Shrimp Pasta at the local O'Charleys, (great to see John and Shirley Rowsey and Pastor Kevin) I headed to Tennessee. I got home late last night in time to get Pootie and get some sleep.
