tis the season.....

I got the opportunity to meet an extraordinary man the other day. Despite some obvious physical setbacks and a very uncertain future, This man Bob was able to join us in singing some of the songs of the season. He and his wife Evelyn had decorated their house to the hilt, with a Christmas tree in every room and snow villages, lights and decor second to none.

I'm glad we took the time to go and meet this wonderful couple and receive the blessing that we did. Too often we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season and think ourselves too busy to give, and I mean in the truest sense of the word.

I'm convinced that if we listen hard enough we can hear the still small voice calling us to "lay down our lives...." No, not necessarily a physical gesture but maybe putting the brakes on for a few minutes, laying aside our schedules and agendas and thinking of others and discovering that we truly will receive far more in return.

Merry Christmas

Assisted Living

So here we are, fulfilling a promise I made a couple of years ago when my parents went to be with Jesus. Some of their better times in the last few years of their lives were spent at Peachtree Village in Commerce, Georgia. Today we went and did a program for the wonderful residents there and had a great time.

Just a thought about "Assisted Living". Don't we all need it when it boils right on down? Where we get in trouble is when we think we know it all or can do it all, when the Bible promises us that when we are weak, He is strong.

Anyway, we went in with guns blazing and gave them a pretty eclectic program that went something like this:

Cover Me by Healing Flow

I Can See Clearly Now

Glorious Day by Casting Crowns

In the Garden (Watermark arr. with There is None Like you by Lenny LeBlanc)

Christmas Carol Medley (O Come All Ye Faithful, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, and Angels we Have heard on High)

First Born by Healing Flow

Silent Night

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

My buddy Greg Roesch, Outreach Pastor of Walk on Water Church (Bowhunter #1) gave a great meditation on Luke 2.

We had a chance to greet the people, including our friend Ms. Dollie Jarrett, Ms. Margaret Brand (mother of one of my mother's best friends, Ellen Smith) Activity Director Morgan Shubert (a former student of mine) and a host of others. Maybe we can go back sometime and do this again.

Our first recording project is finished and in the copying/packaging phase this week. We hope to pick up our first copies on Friday.

Peace on ya! Merry Christmas!

In the flow.....
