One of the big challenges with this life is balancing the ministry and road life with home and family time. The first part of this year has been very busy with a lot of tours and being away from home, but the next four months, even though they are busy, will be much more home time.
I am very excited that this month I will have the honor to play my trumpet before Congress. We also have an initiation to play for the House Of Representatives. I have been very blessed to have played all over the world and for a few Presidents, but I am looking forward to the honor to play at both places. Hopefully I can get a picture or two when I’m playing.
I just returned a few days ago from a short tour to the mid-west. I was blessed from playing several shows in Kansas and Missouri and then spending five days in Colorado Springs at the National Bible Quiz. It was great to serve there, but I will say that every time I play at the Bible quizzes, I leave those events feeling pretty stupid. Those kids are AMAZING !!! They memorize several books of the Bible word for word. I struggle memorizing my passwords for my emails, so there is no way I could do what they do. It was a great week and I am looking forward to serving again next year with them.
Thank you all for checking in and praying for this ministry. God is doing some great things through this ministry so far this year and we are looking forward to seeing what else He will do the rest of this year.
