Hello Krew,
I hope this email finds you all blessed and doing well. I am enjoying
the beautiful season here in the
Smoky Mountains. My yard is completely covered in beautiful golden
leaves. There is no distinction
between the drive way and the yard! I guess I need to drag my rake and
leaf blower out and find the
driveway!
I had a good trip to Mississippi this past weekend. Saturday night I was
in Columbus, Mississippi for a
concert with the Daryl Williams Trio. Praise Promotions, Sandy, Nancy
and Louise, did a great job
of promoting the concert! As I was driving into town, out on route 82, a
four lane highway with lots of
deserted stretches of roadway, I happened to look over to my right and
there on a fence in the middle of
nowhere was a huge sign with my name on it! The girls had put up a big
sign along the highway announcing the concert. I was shocked to see my
name out there in the middle of nowhere.
The concert was a great one. Daryl Williams Trio did a great job. Daryl
is an excellent writer and his
songs are always superior! He has a new song that he sang to me after
the concert that should be a number one song. He and I have written many
many songs together. We co-wrote "Oh Lamb Of Calvary", "I've Come Here
to tell you, the Lord is Good", "The Potters Hand", "Peace In The
Valley" and many others
that I am singing right now. We always have a great time when we are
together. He and Karen have been
great friends and I appreciate their friendship. As I left Columbus on
Sunday, heading back to
Knoxville, I hurriedly threw my stuff into the car. In the first
part of last week, I had bought a new toy
for Pootie (for the new people on the list, Pootie is my dog) and I had
laid it in the back of the car.
I laid my gearbox in the back and placed my luggage on top of it and
drove away from the hotel. The very
first bump I hit, I heard the "squeeze" toy! I hit my brakes to try and
get the weight of the car to
shift the luggage off the toy but it didn't work. After several
attempts, the squeeze toy lodged down
underneath the seat to where I couldn't reach it. So every single bump,
dip, pothole, rough spot that I hit
on my seven hour drive home, I heard Pootie's toy! By the time I got
back to East Tennessee, it was
funny. Yesterday I fished that toy out from underneath the passenger
seat and threw it in a box in the corner of my garage. Last night,
Pootie was sniffin around in the garage and found it and brought it into
the
house and brought it to me! She wanted me to throw it! I had listened to
it for 7 hours, I wanted to
throw it away! But she and Bosco (new puppy) insisted that I throw it to
them!
I want to say a special thank you to those who made comments on my guest
book lately. I have been
overwhelmed with the response from the James Robinson TV program. There
may have been a few comments that were lost in a glitch because they
were coming in so fast.
God is so good. He is meeting every need! Thank you all for praying for
me and for my schedule to fill up.
Are you ready for Christmas???? Only 41 more days until we celebrate the
birth of Christ. I have
already started saying "Merry Christmas" to a few people! Many of you
know that I work part time in the
men's department at Belks in Knoxville and yesterday at work, I said
"Merry Christmas" to a few people when I was ringing up their items.
Some would say "Thank You" but one woman replied with "I thought you
weren't supposed to say that now". I just smiled and said "It's
Christmas to me so I hope you have a good one" She kinda smirked and
left.
Today I received a shipment of buttons that say "Merry Christmas, It's
worth saying!" I am going to wear it
every day to work! I think every Christian should have one! So from now
until Christmas, I am going to
give one free with every order that comes thru my website. It's a small
green button with an outline of
Mary holding the Christ child. I think it will get a good message
across. Every Sunday School class should
wear them, Every time you go Christmas shopping, you should have one on.
Let's be proud that Christmas is more than a "happy holiday". Like I
said, they are free with any order, but if you would like to order
some buttons without placing an order for other product, in case you
have everything already, call the
office at 865 933 2100 and tell Dot how many buttons you want to order.
They are $1.00 each plus shipping.
Also Dot wants me to tell you that we now have XL again of the ABC'S For
Life Sweatshirt. They were
backordered for a while but now we have them again.
This weekend I will be in Georgia. I hope to see a lot of Krew members
