Campmeeting, Etc.

Texas Campmeeting was awesome!! Great preaching. Great music. Great MC's (especially Friday night - heehee). It was all good.

Our trio was asked to sing at the TBC Song Fest on Monday night. Terry Wilbanks, Jason Matthews and Jonathan Elms were our band for the night. We had a great time.
Bro. Davis and Bro. Kinsey both preached anointed messages. And our friend, Greg Hardin, preached a message I'll never forget on Friday morning - "He Didn't Know it Couldn't be Done."

Of course, one of the highlights is the opportunity to be with family and friends.
Cameron and Chad were at South Texas Youth Camp during Texas Campmeeting. Their camp ended on Thursday night, so they drove to Lufkin to be in service Friday night and to spend time with friends. We are so thankful God is using their talents. Cameron played the bass at South Texas Camp. This week they are in Lufkin for the Junior High Youth Camp. Cameron is playing bass, and Chad is playing auxiliary percussion. Next week they will both be attending Texas Senior High Camp.
We are blessed!

Tomorrow Gene & I are planning to travel to San Antonio for the South Texas Revival Conference. We are looking forward to seeing several of our friends there.

It is H-O-T in Texas!! I'm so thankful God blessed us with a house that has a pool. I have been in it everyday this week. I know you figure out how to handle the heat without one, but I don't know how I did it before. LOL!
God is still doing miraculous things in Wichita Falls. Tonight it was so exciting to look across the crowd and see many new converts sitting in the pews. Our music was missing the usual punch with most of our musicians at youth camp this week, but there was a sweet presence of God as we began to sing. Gene had everyone come up around the front to begin service. He led with no praise group accompanying, and I played the keyboard with no other instruments. It was neat to hear the congregation as they lifted their voices in worship and song. There were 15 or so "babes" in the service tonight - they are setting down patterns that will strengthen them in their walk with God. They are so excited to learn more and more, and I'm excited to watch them grow. Some of the stories we are hearing are complete miracles - it's just awesome!!!

Campmeeting was awesome! God always knows just what we need.

Right now with this East Texas heat and humidity, your pool looks pretty good! I'm sure you all are enjoying it.

Love y'all...
