Hello!
I hope you have a terrific Tuesday.  I want to tell you about my Friday night adventure. This past Thursday I was checking southern gospel schedules to see where my favorite groups were singing  last weekend. I found that Adam Crabb was coming to Eaton, Ohio on Friday.

I looked up the church and it was just a little over an hour from me. Then on the church's website I found Jason Crabb was going to be there too.  I quickly grabbed tickets and found a ride.  We were anticipating a great night of singing.

Deidre and I waiting for the fun to begin.

Of course, I had to find people I knew.  Angela is one of my favorite people! She was at our house a lot when I was little. She taught me in Children's Church for years. Actually Angela is probably responsible for a lot of my craziness!  Well, we can blame her anyway.

SURPRIZE GUEST! Terah Crabb Pehollow

This was the icing on the cake for me. Terah has been one of my singing heroes for years.

The entire concert was wonderful! It had been a long time since I had an entire evening of Crabb music!  It was great to hear some of my Crabb favorites, and many new song too. To me it was a great way to spend my Friday night!

Happy 30th Anniversary Davy and Kelly

Hello, Wishing you a marvelous Monday! Today is a special for my parents. 30 years ago they pledged their lives to each other. I want to publicly wish them a Happy Anniversary!

I know they never dreamed this would be the path life would take them when they started this journey together . it has been a huge adventure. I am thankful they have shown me a Godly example.  Real life is work, but you can make it work.  In my parent's marriage they have not let an exit be an option.

I love you Mom and and Dad so very much! I am proud to be a part of your family!

View Out The Front Window June 28, 2015

 Check out our post from this week.  We love hearing from our readers.

Hey Friends, it is Odie writing to you on this Sunday. My Dad normally does a View Out The Front Window Post for most Sundays. When I thought over my options for this post I kept thinking of the windows we all carry with us everywhere.  The eye is an impressive window!  It is the window to our heart and soul.

 Here is a song that has been on endless loop in my brain the last few days.  It is an older Martins song titled Windows. This song is from an early 2000's release by the Matins also titled Windows. actually the whole project is probably my favorite CD recorded by the Martins. I want God's love and His Light to shine in and thru my windows.

The eye is something you can easily take for granted. It is easy to think clear vision will always be there. I know first hand our vision can leave quickly. You will sorely miss your sight when you are used to it being there.You can feel helpless in the blink of an eye.

Spiritually the eye is important too! What we choose to view can harm our souls.The Lord has been working on me personally in this area. I have a renewed desire and determination to keep pure vision.  Keeping my vision clean and pure helps me to stay focused in other areas. I get distracted easily and lose my focus.

I have been reminded this week God restored my vision miraculously.  I do NOT want to be ungrateful by using my vision for the wrong things.  My sight is now 20/25 in my eye that was blind for 9 days, and I do not want to face blindness again!

Dear Lord,
Thank for giving me today.  Thank you for being my Savior, Healer, Friend and so much more.  I Thank you for my vision. I am deeply sorry for the times I have let my focus wonder from you! I am grateful for your new mercy daily, and I do not want to waste your mercy and grace in my life. Thanks for having patience with me as I get back on track. I love and worship you with all my heart.  And I want to serve you from this day forward with a pure heart always.
Amen

Odie
