2014

Although Facebook has taken the place of many blogs and musings, I will return here this year. Lately I have felt the push to write again and I think that 2014 will be an awesome year.

Update 2012

It's been awhile since I've been on here. I was reading through some of my posts since 2007 and I thought "wow". This is really cool that I can look back over 5 years of my life. SO I think I am going to bring the blog back and start writing again. Hope all is well in everybodys life.

Passing of an Apostolic Icon

Today the world lost an incredible, annointed singer. Someone who has touched the hearts of thousands of people time and time again and someone to whom words cannot do justice.

I remember growing up listening to Priscilla McGruder. My Grandma used to have the album 'McGruders Rated PG" in her CD filing cabinet and every time I would go over to her house I would pull it out and listen to it. Eventually, I "borrowed" it and forgot to give it back. Come Fly with the McGruders, Unmistakably McGruder, Livin the Good Life, are what I went to sleep listening to.

I remember the first time I saw them live. It was at General Conference in Nashville TN. in 1997 and as they took the stage, they sang "I'm Just Warmin Up". The place erupted. Hearing her sing "From Heavens Point of View" was an incredible experience, because you knew she meant what she was singing.

Someone said "Heavens choir just became more anointed, powerful, intense, vibrant, melodious, and exciting. Earth will never be the same, but then again, neither will heaven for where Priscilla steps, hallowed worship, expectancy and joy lights her surroundings. You can be sure all of heaven is aware of her presence at this moment.

Although I never got to know her in-depth personally, she influenced my life in so many ways. Musically, spiritually, she had sung with the best of the best. She knew fame and yet did not touch some of the things that come with it. Popular in the southern gospel arena, she showed that you could really still live for God, be an example, and still "stand".

Thank you so much Sis. McGruder for such an example. You will forever be in my mind and heart. And today I'm sure you are rejoicing because you really are "Home with Jesus"

Merry Christmas!

I have always appreciated people who have a "knack" or talent for playing instruments. Thought I would share this. Andy McKee - "Drifting"

Everyone is Invited!

Malta!!

I am sitting in the country of Malta, waiting for the Missionary to get here to pick us up. While I had some time I thought I would blog a quick post. I don't have any pictures quite yet but will try to post some later.

We got in last night about 2:00 am (3:00 pm Cali time) and went straight over to the Parkers home. The Parkers are the UPC missionaries here and awesome people. We ate a sandwich and they took us over to our room. Needless to say, over 30 hours of wondering airports and London, left me with a "not so clean" feeling. A shower was welcomed. Just driving around last night, left me in awe. BEUAITUFL.

Today we are expecting to see a lot more. Where the Apostle Paul was shipwrecked, places he walked, and the Island itself. If you remember right, this is the place where he spent 3 months of his life when he was shipwrecked, while being held prisoner, on his way to meet Augustus. Had his hand bitten by a viper, and threw it back into the fire. Very incredible things.

Church tonight and I will post more later.

Sometimes a break is needed

I am sitting here in a local coffee shop in Greshem, OR trying to remember how to blog. It has been awhile since I have entered this world and I am trying to think of something worthwhile to write. I truly am not a committed blogger. But in this day you actually have to like doing it and want to do it. Facebook makes life a lot easier.... :)

My mind thinks back to Campmeeting in Santa Maria last week. What an incredible time. Probably one of the best campmeetings I have been in and a success. Bro. James Hughes talked in such a way that it hit right down home. His sermon talking about what the true job of the Holy Ghost is was truly mind shaking. Bro Kinsey delivered the word like no other in the evening. You've got to get the "wag". Awesome, awesome time.

Over these last two months I have traveled extensively. Truly it has been an experience and I am loving it. I would do it full time if I could. Starting out preaching in Arizona for 2 weeks was an incredible experience. I love the youth of the Arizona district. Great district and great people. Going to Oklahoma for a few days was equally rewarding. Indiana was great as always and I was able to see all my family again. My Grandma is 93 and still pretty sharp. I will post a story about her next post. Going back to Oklahoma for a few days once again proved to be incredible. God moved. Then back to Arizona for about 4 days. Awesome, awesome time. Here is a shout out to Jason Akers, David Staten, Kris Keyes, Jeremiah Lopez, Delmon Sansom and anybody else I forgot. Campmeeting was next and that passed and now I am in Greshem (Portland) with Bro and Sis Graves. Great people. Holly Sue and Jeremy Mullings are a blast and we have been having a great time. It seems like when you get together with good friends you can talk forever.

Whats next? I don't know :) We'll just have to wait and see!

But anyway, that's whats on my mind right now and I might post something else tomorrow. If the coffee kicks in..... :) TS

Remembering....

This is a video I made that we showed over Memorial Day for the Church in honor of our veterans. I love the footage on this and it is priceless. I can't give much more than a true "thank you" to our veterans and I can never repay the price you paid for our country. We will forever be indebted to you and will always be grateful. You will never be forgotten.
