We had a fairly busy month, in the concert world. We had a greattime in Great Falls,Ft Shaw and Lakeside. It is always nice tomeet new friends and develop relationships.One part of the month that I was overly impressed with was inGreat Falls. We were to sing at 9:30 on Sunday morning. Asusual when we have an early date, we try to get in the nightbefore to setup and do soundcheck. The church agreed but toldus that on Saturday evening there was another church holdingservice there, due to their own building being destroyed by fire.There was also to be a spaghetti feed that evening as well, andwe were invited. I felt no need to pass that up!I

ll be quite honest, this was like no other church service I hadbeen to. I will however tell you this; these folks had a seriouscase of wanting to serve the Lord! I still am not sure how todescribe the evening but to say it was an incredible blessing tous. The pastor of the church let me explain to the people why wewere there as well as asking us to sing a song for them. Wedid...and we loved doing it. I was quite consumed by the pledgethat they had in their bulletin. I quote it to the right here.

I won't look back or let up,slow down, back away or be still. Mypast is redeemed, my present makessense, my future is secure. I'mfinished and done with low living,sight walking, cheap giving anddwarf goals.I no longer needpreeminence, prosperity, position,promotions or popularity. I don't haveto be right, recognized, praised,regarded or recorded. I live by faith,walk by patience. My face is set, mygait is fast, my goal is heaven, myroad is narrow, my companions few.My guide is reliable, my mission isclear. I cannot be bought,compromised, detoured, hired away,turned back, diluted or delayed. I willnot flinched in the face of sacrifice,or hesitate in the presence of theenemy. I will not give up, shut up, letup, until I've stayed up, prayed up. Iwill give until I drop, preach till allknow, and work till He stops me. Andwhen He comes my Banner will beclear!!!As you can see above, we are still looking for a baritone. We arethankful for Dana stepping back in the slot to fill in for a few dates.If you are interested or know someone who might be willing,dropus a note.Until next time neighbors, have a blessed month and pleasecontinue to pray for us that we might be effective witnesses forJesus Christ!
Greetings all and Happy Thanksgiving...albeit a day late. We had a great Thanksgiving here at the hacienda. The kids plus a fiance and a couple friends came home f or the day, which w as nice....then they left, which was nice, ha! The kids left early this morning for the big shopping event. I never could figure that out,glad I didnt have the urge to go with them. I think the 5am thing would have halted me, even had I wanted to go.
