String Fling Concert

What a joy it was to attend the "String Fling Concert" at Ellis Hall, Missouri State University, last evening. Breana was one of the violinist and of course she is the best. It was well planned and flowed well, with the climax being a orchestra of all. It was a night out for Barb and I, we went to 'Rib Crib', and then on to Missouri State.

I'm getting ready for Sunday, pray.

Zach

Praise the Lord, Zach's surgery is complete, and he is doing OK. He is doing well.

I Can't believe

It has been almost 2 weeks since I posted. Where has time gone? Minutes by minute, it moves on by. Vacation Bible School was a success, but during that week, my mother's brother was found dead. He was 83, had laid down for an afternoon nap, and didn't wake up, what a way to go for the prepared person. His funeral or memorial service was on Thursday the 24th in Kansas City, and I went, but made it back for Vacation Bible School Family Night. Wow, what a wonderful turnout of parents. We have teamed up with Shiloh Baptist and the Pierson Cumberland Presbyterian for a wonderful experience together with the Lord Jesus Christ. One thing about it, we who have saved, will one day, spend eternity together under the banner of Jesus---THE KINGDOM OF GOD, not a denominational name. As my uncle was being eulogized, I had a cousin, and Barb had a cousin's husband to also pass away.
Yesterday, we had lunch at "The Tower Club" over looking the city of Springfield. It was a very relaxing, enjoyable lunch with Barb and Kelly.

"Holy is the Lord" I love that chorus.

Push, Polish, & Hurry Up

I have a unexpected wedding rehearsal tonight, wedding tomorrow, as a fellow pastor had some heart difficulties this week. So the 3rd Friday singing is tonight, which I will be at, but prior to that have rearranged my schedule to fit in a early wedding rehearsal prior to singing. The Wedding is in Billings, Saturday afternoon.
VBS, Sunday evening with a kick off of a Luau?

Hurry up, Gary

VBS Prep

Last minute decorations, last minute trips to Party Supply houses, last minute trip to Sam's, as I support Barb in the finishing details. The auditorium looks marvelous, with the beach umbrealla on the island, the waves, and the surf boards.
As we prepare to go from Wave 1 to Wave 5 in Bible Truths of the week.
Next Sunday night, is the beginning, with a LUAU---cotton candy, snow cones, hot dogs, and fruits of the islands.
Pray for boys and girls, and their parents to be reached.

The Lord's Day is Every Day

yet, we aside the first day of each week, for believers to come together in a corporate worship experience. God desires our worship, our focus, our adoration, our elevating Him, as the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
Randy and the girls have gone home, He will be flying out of KC to Nashville. Patrick and Will left a bout an hour later, heading to Ft. Smith. Pat and I attended th Springfield Cardinal game last night. We had a good time together, watching the game at time with a light rain, sometimes close to a heavy shower. The game was never delayed. But the Cardinals lost by 1. :)
Morning worship was up today. One of those days, when more of our people got there on the same time frame.

Jesus Loves the little children, all the children, of the world, every color, every race,
