September 5, 2006 Hello Krew, It was great seeing so many Krew members in Gatlinburg this past weekend. I saw lots of the new blue "Judge Not" shirts from the stage and then was honored to meet a lot of you after I was finished with my part of the concert. Thank you so much for coming to the Gatlinburg Gathering. There are lots of pictures that are posted on the website. I was honored to have Sarah Mentzer come and sing "Oh Lamb Of Calvary" with me in Gatlinburg. Sarah is from Knoxville, sings with a group called "Two or More". I had so many people ask about her, she really was a hit! Saturday night as we sang in Gatlinburg, the Lord really came in a special way as the Holy Spirit moved in the Convention Center. It didn't feel like a concert at all, it felt more like a true worship service. Ray Flynn invited me back for the Sunday Morning service so the next morning I went back to Gatlinburg to sing a few songs before Jack Lassiter spoke. I had thought that the Saturday night program was good, but the Sunday Morning service was simply unexplainable. At the end of the service, they made an altar around the front of the stage and there were hundreds of people who came forward. What a great experience! I met some people in Gatlinburg who are planning on going on the cruise with us. They were excited and of course we all are excited about the cruise. Feb 26-March 3, we will be boarding the SS Inspiration and sailing to Cozumel and Grand Cayman Islands. I will be singing aboard the ship each night, along with a couple of other singers. We eat 10 times a day, and there are all kinds of ship activities during the daytime. On last years cruise, some of our group participated in Bingo, Karaoke, shuffleboard, the ice cream parlor, the pizza parlor. . . . . . . . .you get the picture! I hope several more people will sign up to go with us. Please call the office 865 933 2100 to get more info and a brochure. Speaking of Cruise ships, Here are the top ten silliest questions asked on a cruise ship. 10. Do these steps go up or down? 9. What do you do with the beautiful ice carvings after they melt? 8. Which elevator do I take to get to the front of the ship? 7. Does the crew sleep on the ship? 6. Is this island completely surrounded by water? 5. Does the ship make its own electricity? 4. Is it salt water in the toilets? 3. What elevation are we at? 2. There's a photographer on board who takes pictures and then displays them the next day....the question asked is "If the pictures aren't marked, how will I know which ones are mine? 1. What time is the midnight buffet being served? I also wanted you to know that I am being played on XM radio now. Channel 34, so if you have XM, tune in.
