I am sitting
in the Dallas airport having an early lunch.
Harlon's BBQ is a great place to wait for your plane
to leave! I have just finished the meal of the week!
BBQ Brisket with Corn on the Cob and Green Beans! I
love fresh corn! Anyway its fixed, cream style,
whole kernel, Corn on the Cob, I love cream style
corn in Corn Bread! If I ever have a garden, you can
bet I will grow some corn!
Last night I taped a LIFE TODAY program with James
and Betty Robison. They were very gracious and kind
and encouraging to me. I shared a condensed version
of my testimony, (very difficult to do) and I hope
and pray that God will use the program to encourage
people in their relationship with Christ. After the
show, I sang "Judge Not" and "Intimacy With Jesus"
that will be inserted in later shows. It was great
to see some Krew members with their Kirks Krew
buttons on! Thank you all for coming to the taping!
Lot's of you have asked when the show will be on TV.
I was told that it will be the last weekend of
October. Not sure when the show airs on which
networks, so watch your local listing for show
times.
It was a privilege to meet Stephen Baldwin and his
wife, Kennya. Stephen is a movie star, one of the
famous Baldwin Brothers. Stephen is a born again
Christian who is starting a new ministry next year
that will deal with extreme sports with a Gospel
Message. He has also written a book called "The
Unusual Suspect". It was also a real experience
meeting Phil Vischour, the man who created Vegitales.
Talk about a character! As we all shared a meal
together, he cracked us all up, doing different
voices of his characters! At one point Stephen
handed Phil his cell phone and had him (Phil) talk
to his ( Stephen's) little girl. Naturally she was
thrilled to talk to all her favorite characters on
the phone.
I will have pictures on the website soon from the
taping. I don't have the best luck with cameras.
When I took my camera out of my duffle bag,
naturally it wouldn't even power up so, the
photographer from the show offered to send me copies
so that I can post some on my website. Hopefully I
will have those from her before long.
I hope to see some of you this weekend. Friday in
Louisville KY at the Diamond Awards. I am honored
that they would ask me to sing "The Potters Hand" in
the awards program. It's up for Song of The Year in
those awards. I am nominated in several categories
but certainly don't expect to win anything since I
have been out of the mainstream for several years.
Still its nice to be nominated. I hope to see a lot
of old friends there on Friday.
Saturday and Sunday I will be in Bloomington IN at
the Grace Baptist Temple, 2320 North Smith Pike. I
am expecting a great time there and hope you will
come join me.

Last week I got an email from a Krew member who had
been on the SS Inspiration, the ship we will sail on
in Feb. He stated that it was the nicest of all the
ships he had been on. The food was the best of all
the ships he had been on, and over all, he had the
best time on a cruise on the SS Inspiration that he
had ever had on a cruise. That got me a little more
excited about the upcoming cruise. I know there are
several people who are still debating on going with
us. I hope you will make your reservation soon. It's
going to be a great trip. Feb 26-March 3 we will be
on the SS Inspiration, visiting Cozumel and the
Grand Cayman Islands. I will be singing onboard
along with a couple other singers. Of course, I
can't charter the entire ship, so there will be a
lot of other people on board also. I hope you all
will join us on this trip of a life time! Call the
office for a brochure and info. 865 933 2100.
