We Meet The Nicest People

We are blessed to meet the nicest people as we travel and sing. Since
you aren’t able to be with us, we enjoy sharing some of those moments
with you. Here are some scenes from our recent trip to Norway, and a
dear family from Texas that we’d like all of you to meet.

STRETCH!

We’re getting closer and closer to the Extra Mile: Dig Deeper, Go Farther conference on March 20! I’ve talked to so many of you who are coming and I realize more every day how life-changing this event could be for all of us. For those of you who haven’t registered yet, we have a special offer for you THIS WEEK ONLY.

You have the option to STRETCH your payment over two months. Here’s how it works:
1. You register online this week with your first payment of $45.

2. Your second payment of $42 will be automatically charged to your card the week of the event, March 15.

On March 15, we will hold a drawing and 3 winners will have their second payment WAIVED!

The STRETCH option of making two payments and the chance to win a half-price ticket are only good through February 28, so hurry!

The Extra Mile is more than just a conference, or a book/CD launch, or an evening of concerts. It’s an investment in YOU. It’s a day of spiritual refreshing. It’s a chance to begin anew in your life and your walk with God. It’s going to be a day of stretching our minds and our faith, and we want YOU there.

If that sounds good to you, click here to STRETCH! And remember, it only lasts through February 28!

The New Year

Christmas is over and the New Year is almost here!  We want to wish all of you a happy and blessed 2010.  We will be heading out tomorrow night, Dec. 30, for PA, Canada, VA, and back to TN and that’s only this weekend.  It seems that we are always on the go so these days off have been wonderful.  I would ask that you all pray for safe travels for us.  It’s very comforting to know that while we are on the road we have our Tree-Oers praying for us.

Many people make resolutions for the New Year, but I have found that I am one who has good intentions, but has a hard time following through.  Is there anyone out there like me?  I have set a few goals this year though.  My main one is to spend more time in the Word.  Another is to get my freezer cleaned out, but that will have to be a warm weather goal since the freezer is in the garage.  I have some others, but I would like to know how you feel about resolutions and if you have any for this year and how you plan to accomplish them.  I could use some inspiration!

We hope to see many of you in the coming year.

Happy New Year

MERRY CHRISTMAS: From Us To You!

Every Christmas, I’m reminded of past Christmases.  My favorite one is the year Lauren was born.  Since she was born two weeks before Christmas, we decided that we would exchange our gifts before driving to Tennessee to Roger’s parents house the week before Christmas.  Roger had bought a large stocking with her name written in glitter across the top and we put her down in it and took a picture. (It’s too cute – you should see it!)  After dinner one night, we wrapped her in a blanket and laid her under the tree with all the gifts.  Roger and I sat on the floor and began to unwrap our gifts to each other.  I would hand him a gift and he would open it, look at her, and cry.  He would hand me a gift and I would open it, look at her, and cry.  I really can’t remember a thing I received that year, because not one gift could compare to our little gift God had given us that year.  I imagine that Mary must have felt much the same when Jesus was born.  As she wrapped her baby in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, she must have praised God.  Wise men came and brought priceless gifts to honor Jesus birth, but nothing could compare to the gift God had given her.

As you open your gifts this year, give thanks for your blessings and remember with each one you unwrap the greatest gift every given to man.  Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Merry Christmas!

This Is America !

On November 10, 2009, we were privileged to be a part of the local Veteran’s Day Celebration in our hometown of Morristown, Tennessee. The event was held at the Walters State Expo Center.  Approximately, twenty five hundred were in attendance for the festivities.  Veterans registered for gifts and there was free food for everyone.  Even though the rain was pouring outside, people braved the bad weather to honor our local veterans.  The combined marching bands of East and West High Schools did an incredible job of playing patriotic songs for the parade of soldiers from every war and every branch of service.  The local Boy Scout troops also took part in the parade.  One of our U.S. Representatives spoke and The Talley Trio and Squire Parsons sang.

No one told us we could not sing gospel songs.  As a matter of fact, that’s why we were asked to be there.  As Christian music was sung and played, people clapped their hands and praised the Lord.  We honored our country and our Lord.  Maybe it’s just me, but as I stood there and watched the soldiers, the flag, and listened to the songs of our country and our faith, my heart swelled and I kept thinking, “this is America.”

  • America is not politics, government, rhetoric, or agendas.
  • America is communities coming together for each other all across our nation when there is a need.
  • America is pride in our men and women who sacrifice their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.
  • America is looking beyond ourselves and reaching out to the less fortunate all across the globe.

America is being maligned in our world today, but even with its faults; it’s still the place that people dream of coming to for a better life.  I am proud to be an American and even more so on this Veteran’s Day.  My nephew, Cameron, is currently in boot camp in Camp Lejune, SC.  My father is a WWII Navy veteran.  We are America because young men and women risk their lives to protect and defend our nation and old men, who have served, lived to tell their stories of the battles that have preserved our freedom for generations.

Let us never forget who we are and where we have come from.  It’s the surest way to preserve the nation we love and that God has blessed.  Tell us about someone that you know who has served and why you think it’s important to our country.
