Camp Meeting In Pictures-Alabama

In the late 80s, all through the 90s and the early 2000s, we attended a lot of camp meetings and fellowship meetings across the country. Every chance we could find, we were off again meeting new people and going new places. Our family enjoyed wonderful adventures in all of those meetings and we are better people because of it.

I was not preaching at those meetings and we were not singing at those meetings in the early years. We just slipped into the pews, worshiped, heard the preaching, enjoyed the fellowship and went home blessed.

After several years, some Pastors would invite us up to sing during the camp meeting services and the Lord helped us on those occasions. In time, we sang more and Kelly Jo was asked to play the piano more and more in the meetings.

But all of that came later. For the first several years we attended meetings completely anonymously and enjoyed every moment of it.

The last several years we have attended fewer meetings because we were busy preaching meetings, revivals and tent revivals. We usually attend Allentown in March and our home meeting in Dayton in August and that is about it.

This year we made plans to attend a big portion of the camp meeting at the end of the road with Pastor Eddie Stringfellow and we have enjoyed every moment of it. Bro. and Sis. Stringfellow and their people have been so kind to us. Our friend, Pastor Kenny Morris is the main speaker and we have loved that too.

This week has been a welcomed stop and we hope to return to this meeting at some point in the future. Even though we are singing in the services and singing during the altar, it has been restful and a blessing to us.

I hope you enjoy the camp meeting in pictures. Thank you for stopping in.

Praise God For Helping Chloe Jean!

I posted a bunch of pictures Tuesday of Ben, Deidre, Charlie and Chloe Jean, but I purposely held back a few pictures of Chloe Jean. I wanted to point out this beautiful miracle that the Lord has provided.


We first met Chloe Jean as a newborn in Thomasville, Alabama in February 2022. Odie wrote about it here. Below is a picture of our first meeting.


Chloe was a very sick baby and when I looked into her eyes, my faith wavered. It did not seem like she could hold onto life very much longer. But God did a miracle for Chloe Jean and her family and she is much alive. Praise God!

Look at this beautiful little lady so full of life.








We had a wonderful time with Charlie, Chloe, Ben and Deidre. I must confess my eyes are leaking quite a bit while looking at these pictures and thinking about God's wonder working power.


Thank you for spending a few minutes with us today.

A Word For Wednesday-Living Under A Full Sail

So glad you joined us today. It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

It was said of Caleb in Joshua 14 ...that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

According to Strong Concordance that phrase paints a picture in Hebrew that says he lived His life under a full sail!

A sailor with the right knowledge and equipment can use the wind to sail in almost any direction he desires. Caleb did not use God's power to go his own direction. He put his sails all the way up and went wherever God blew him. He lived his life under a full sail!

He wholly followed the Lord! Wholly, completely and without reservation Caleb followed the Lord!

Thank you for reading and watching today.
