Four out of Five

Our hearts are again full of gratefulness to the Lord Jesus for the work He did through this weekend’s conference outside of Knoxville, Tennessee. We arrived around lunchtime, and we had the afternoon to set up, practice music, and have family Bible time.

The Lord so blessed the conference. Many parents shared with Dad and Mom struggles with rebellious children and tough family situations: we pray the Lord will use what was shared this weekend to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the children to their fathers.

I had my camera as I was coming up from a session, and I grabbed a few pictures as families worked to get to the next session. (Dad is off to the left, talking with another dad as he walked.)

Im sure they are wearing shirts with their initials, but it tickled us that it spells me when they stand next to each other.

  1. Looks like ya’ll had a great time in Knoxville. I really wanted to come as we live in Chattanooga.. which you passed through when you left Gadsden.. we are close to there also. However, my husband had to work this weekend. Maybe next time when ya’ll are through here, we can come. Have safe travels.

    I check your blog continually and pray for safety and for hearts to be ministered to as well.

    Thank you for your ministry and how it has blessed my heart and helped me!

  2. The meal looks wonderful. What a blessing this must be for you to have people share a meal with you. Table fellowship is very special.

    I love the picture of your mom and dad sitting side-by-side listening their children spread the word of God through their music. Awesome.

    Continued prayers for safe travels.

    blessings, mrs. mari

  3. Thank you for coming to Knoxville. We went to hear you speak and had a wonderful time. You gave us some great ideas on how to do family worship and such. We will pray for your safe trip home.
