Update from the Road
All day Sunday at Macedonia Baptist was wonderful! What a great church with a great group of people who know how to worship and how to have a good time! There is NOTHING wrong with laughing in church and enJOYing our relationship with the Lord....and they did!
Donny and I did about 15 minutes in the main worship hour, then at 6 that night, we did our whole concert. It was just as much fun for us and for them. We really had fun on stage enjoying the fellowhship of the people. And of course, (it is a Baptist Church), we had a food fellowship afterwards with lots and lots of fine food made by the people. There was even "baptist bird," (fried chicken, for those who don't know).
Another great thing Sunday night was having my brother-in-law, Jon Gates join us on stage and play the piano during the offering. He was great and received a standing ovation! I am hoping he will record a solo piano CD some day soon. I know it will be great. If he does, I will let you know and keep you informed so that you can pick up a copy.
On Monday morning, we headed to the Jacksonville, FL airport. We got home around 2 pm. I had time to wash a load of clothes and repack before I headed back to the airport.
My flight to Houston was supposed to leave at 6:30 pm....then they changed it to 7:50, then 8, then 9:16, and then finally 10:15. They loaded half the plane and I was the VERY next one to get on the plane and they stopped me and said "don't let anyone else on."
It turned out they didn't have a co-pilot. So, they ended up making everyone get off the plane and canceled the flight! Now, I am writing this blog from my (free) hotel (very fancy too) that Delta is paying for. So, I am catching the 11:10 am flight in the morning and will get there around 12:16 pm, (HOPEFULLY)!
It is more of a little vacation anyway. Mark Lowry has a home in Houston and he invited me out for 3 days just to visit, (well, now it will be 2 days), and just relax. I am looking forward to it and need it.
Well, that is about all I can type tonight. I am tired and want to enjoy this nice bed in this fancy hotel that Delta is paying for!! :)
Stay in touch!
