Refreshing Time in Florida
We just returned from a fun, refreshing, relaxing and encouraging time in Florida! It was a relatively quick trip, but we made the most out of it. We were sad that Kathryn and Joel weren’t able to come with us, but were so glad that Matthew and N’gella were able to fly down and meet…

Trip Down South – Part 1 – Georgia
We headed down south on our annual trip to Florida, and this year, we had a new stop in Ellijay, Georgia. Dad recently reconnected with a man who went to church with him when they were both in their teens and twenties, and when he learned about our music ministry, he invited us to play…
