Weekend Woundup and Weview

We have not rolled the bus this week so this is still our view not out the front window at the Lazy OD Ranch.

And the view out the front door.

We are preaching and singing tonight for Pastor Jimmy Lamb in Harveysburg, Ohio. I hope you have a great Sunday.

New Music From The Isaacs

Hey it is Odie, I just wanted to share some exciting news with my fellow Isaacs fans. The long awaited new project, "NATURE'S SYMPHONY IN 432 - A Journey from Pain to Praise" from the Isaacs was released nationally yesterday. Click the link above to read more about this CD and the story behind it. 

 

The Tennessean did an article about my cousin Sonya Isaacs, her husband, Jimmy Yeary and the Isaacs new project. You can read it here

Order your copy now at the Isaacs site by clicking here. It is also available on iTunes or Amazon. 

Isaacs fans have been waiting over a year for this recording to be released. This project is fantastic!!  They just keep making incredible music! It gets my five stars rating, not that my rating means anything in the music industry. 

We have only been able to cross paths with the Isaacs to attend a concert once this year.  I am going through major Isaacs withdrawals. I keep a close eye on the Isaacs schedule! Hopefully I will be able to see them at least one more time before years end. I am looking forward to seeing them perform some of the new songs from the new project along with all my favorites. I love listening to the CD's but there is nothing like sitting in the front row and listening live!

We did get to see Ben for a few hours in February. We met him in Nashville to pick up some awesome equipment for City Reach. It has been a huge help and blessing! We are loving the equipment but we loved seeing Ben for a few hours just as much!

 

Thanks for reading and do not forget to add this album to your collection.

This post was originally supposed to go live early on the morning of September 2nd. At some point it disapeared but I did not notice until September 8th. Here it is again. Maybe it will stay put this time.

Marking Time

Well, I have been pretty bummed about the difficulties concerning Nashville City Reach but we have had some highlights along the way. God is so very good to us even if we do not understand everything He is doing in our lives or in the lives of others. I am content to trust Him. He is definitely trustworthy.

One of the highlights has been all the encouraging phone calls and texts that I have received. Thank you all for rallying around us with kind words fitly spoken. May God bless you for being such a blessing to us.

Another one of the highlights was visiting Eastern Indiana Pentecostal Campground this week. They are having a youth revival at the tabernacle and I am glad we went. It has been years since we have visited their campmeeting and although we see most of the folks at other meetings, it was good to be back.

Kelly Jo and I were both reminded of a previous visit probably 20 years ago. Their campmeeting is in mid June and it is usually scorching hot that time of year. One night the temperature dropped during service and we and 200-300 of our closest friends thought we were going to freeze to death in the middle of the sermon.

At that time the platform was on the end of the tabernacle and had three walls. The preachers were completely shielded from the wind and had no idea that the rest of the congregation was in Antarctica. The night speaker was preaching a very serious message and everyone was pretty much scared to make a move for the exits.

He took a very long time inviting us all to the altar and almost daring anyone to go the other direction. Once the altar call was completed and a few "wicked" souls timidly made their way to the altar, 75% of the crowd bolted for the warmth of their cars. If the preacher closed his eyes for ten seconds at the wrong time, he probably thought we had all be raptured away.

There was no cold this time and that made the service much more enjoyable. We enjoyed the service, the fellowship and Bro. Jeremy Spurlock's preaching.

Bro. Spurlock was planning to be with us for all of City Reach Nashville and was going to bring some families from Hodgenville, Kentucky with him. I wanted to personally tell him of the disappointing change in plans. That made the trip to Connersville of dual purpose. I would say we killed two birds with one stone but I did not throw a stone and there were no birds harmed in the writing of this post.

I hope you all have a great weekend. Thank you for reading.
