About a week ago, we had a strong storm come through the area we live in, and we think a lightning strike must have hit our property directly because we lost cable, internet, modems, our office phone system, some TV’s and maybe a refrigerator (still working on that)! I was very frustrated!!! The more I walked around the house and barn after the storm, the more things I found damaged! When I was done assessing everything and making a plan to get...

Backup plans is my “thing”!! I definitely like to plan things out and have a plan B, a plan C and sometimes even more plans. Noone knows I have these alternative plans, but they are usually running in my head……..just in case!! Years ago, we used to manage a very large art and music festival! It was 3-4 days long and there were well over 10, 000 people who came out to it. Weeks before the festival started, we would have long conference calls to...

Romania was a good trip, and I was very blessed to have had the opportunity to be there. All of the country’s teachers went on strike just before we arrived, so that took out a lot of places we could have played at, but the opportunities we did have were great and we were blessed to be there. Now, as we face summer getting started, we are looking forward to seeing God do great things in the outdoor concerts we have. Outdoor concerts usually...

I have always been amazed to see all the doors God has opened for this ministry to share the Gospel through the trumpet. We have been to every state in the US and to many other corners of this world. In a few days we will be heading to Romania to share the Gospel with as many people as we can there. Please pray for us. Pray for safety, endurance and most importantly…..pray many people will hear and respond to God’s Love. I will post an update...

Our phones, smart watches, apps and so many other things in our lives monitor our every move. Because of certain technology in our lives, we know exactly where we are, where we are going, how many calories we have consumed, how many steps we have done in a day and the one I love the most….how much screen time we have in our day. The amount of time that some people spend on their phones is crazy. I am not exempt from this, and I would say that I...

Presidents’ Day was a few days ago. I watched a documentary about Presidents and their “ great “ speeches. It was a cool show that showed clips as far back as technology would allow of many different American Presidents and their moments of greatness in their speeches. It dawned on me that no matter what political side of the isle they were on, or what they were talking about, they just wanted to make an impact and have “that great speech “ or...

Oh here we go again…..another February with the worse holiday of the year in it. I REALLY don’t like Valentines Day. As a matter of fact, I don’t even think it deserves a capital letter. “valentines day” there….I feel better!!!! Hahaha!! It is a horrible holiday because it makes people act for one day, the way they should ALL the time. I have some guy friends that tell me they “spent more time with their wife”, or “ I took her out”, or “ we...

I have NEVER been a fan of New Years Resolutions!! It seems like a ton of people set some kind of goal in their life and then a few days, weeks or even a month later, just go right back to their normal routine. Whether it be, less cell phone time, weight loss, eating better, calling mom more often or whatever…. people are just use to their own routines and find it hard to change or break away from their norm. That said….I do have some goals...
