TSO . . .

Ok, I know that I said that I was going to take a break, but I can’t resist. I took my wife to The Trans Siberian Orchestra concert at the Bi-Lo Center last night for her birthday. All that I can say is - WOW!!! That may very well have been the best concert that I have ever been to anywhere. I knew that the music would be over the top because I listen to their stuff at Christmas, but the concert as a whole was beyond description and well worth the money. The staging and the light show/pyrotechnics were way over the top. Maybe the best of all is that they made it snow in the Bi-Lo Center – way cool!!! TSO played for a solid 2 ½ hours almost non-stop. Their mix of classical music and electric instruments is perfection. These guys and girls may well be some of the best musicians around. If you have a chance to see them, go! This is definitely a show that should not be missed. I know one thing – my wife and I will definitely be back new year if they come to Greenville (she’s already asked for tickets for her birthday again next year.)
Until next time – keep your eyes on Jesus and remember the reason for the season.

A break from blogging . . .

If you have been wondering where I have been and why I have not been posting like I have in the past - well it is Christmas and work at the office is crazy. My work schedule is wide open right now and when I get home I am brain dead. I have also been in my shop almost every spare minute for the last few weeks working on Christmas presents. With all that said - I am going to officially take a break from blogging until after Christmas. Irene may post if God gives her something but I am going to rest from this for a little while.
There is a series that I am going to be working on during this time off that I will start with when I get back that has something to do with the new working coming to Greenville after the first of the year. I am getting really excited about that.
Until after Christmas - keep your eyes on Jesus and quit shaking the packages under the tree, some of those are breakables.

Where in the world have I been . . .

Sorry that I have not posted lately. Between work at the office, working on Christmas presents that I am making and trying to keep up with everything else, time has been very limited. I have also been chewing on a few things here lately. I promise that I will post on every one of them in the future.
Pray for Irene. She has a horrible bad cold and has lost her voice. Going into the Christmas season this is probably the worst time to get a cold. We have a Christmas parade to walk in this Saturday in Travelers Rest. Also Irene’s birthday is next week and the gathering in Travelers Rest that we do in clown is coming up next week. Pray that God heals her quickly and that she does not give it to anyone else.
I was humble to my bones this week when I read this blog. I was humble because I’m not so sure that I would have been open to following God’s leadership so quickly. Now my prayer is that I would be. Occasionally God reminds me that I am still under construction.
I listened to Perry’s sermon this morning from yesterday at Newspring. All I can say is WOW. I do love the way this guy brings God’s word to life. If you have not heard this sermon yet you can go hear and listen.
Well, I have to get back to work. Until next time – keep your eyes on Jesus and remember that you only have 21 shopping day left.
