Monday Singing At Sea 2026 In Pics

 Hey Friends,

Last week, I was on a vacation I love. This has become an annual thing for me. I first started sailing on the Singing At Sea in 2012. 

In the year since then, I sailed this cruise several different years. 2026 was my third consecutive year. Once again this year, our home at sea was the Carnival Freedom.

Templeton Tour INC does a phenomenal job putting together a great week at sea. I can never thank Jeff Templeton and the crew at TTI enough for working so hard! They truly do charter a phenomenal cruise! We had 5 nights full of fun, food, music and fellowship. 

We set sail from Port Canaveral on Monday afternoon. It was a windy but mostly sunny day, a fantastic way to start our week at sea. 

Here are my pics from Monday, January 26th. You will see in the pictures lots of scenery, food, singing, and sightings of friends and family. I had so much fun!

11th Hour was our host group for the cruise. It was great to be with Garrett and Amber Saunders once again. They are precious people! This year, they were also joined on stage by the fabulous Autumn Nelon Streetman. 

Victoria Bowlin still sings with 11th Hour. She was unable to cruise this year, due to a new addition in their family. We missed you, Victoria!

Below is the 2026 11th Hour cruise group photo. 

That wraps up the first day of this year's cruise! Stay tuned for more! Thanks for reading.

DRPC Kids Choir Sing Famous For

 Hey Friends,

I hope you enjoy this video of the DRPS Kids Choir. I captured this from my front row seat. 

Sis. Emily Roberts does a fantastic job leading the kids. They love to sing, and do so with all their hearts! 

It is precious to see them learning to worship! God rewards their worship with a special visitation of His Holy Spirit during the choir’s singing. 

I love this song! I just had to share the video with my friends.  I hope you have a great day. 

See you tomorrow.

Sunday Sanity 1/25/26

 Hey Friends,

May this nugget of truth warm your soul today. Thank you for checking in on this true winter Sunday!

This is an excerpt of a testimony from our youth leader at DRPC. I thought it was a good reminder to all of us. 

“If you could see the black hole I was in….

I don't give glory to the hole. I give glory to the One who brought me out of the hole. He placed me on the Rock.”

Bro. Brandon James

New Lebanon, OH

We can all look back to where we were before,  and we can see where we are now. Jesus is the reasonwe are here today. 

We must not glory in the dark times. Satan absolutely does not deserve any glory! We must rejoice in the life-changing power of Jesus Christ!

Thank you for reading!

Happy Birthday Uncle Danny 2026

 Hey Friends,

We have another birthday to celebrate virtually. Happy Birthday to my incredible Uncle Danny Lee Morgan Jr! I hope you have a fabulous birthday and full year! May this be the best one yet!

Mom and I are so proud of you. It is great to watch God using you. We love and appreciate you so very much!

We have been celebrating a lot lately on the blog. Birthdays are special days. And we love our precious family members so much!

I will close out today with pictures of my Uncle Danny. He is Mom's favorite (only) little brother. Mom supplied most of these pics. They were snapped last fall. 

I took this one last week. 

Thank you so much for reading. See you tomorrow.

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe Jean

 Hey Friends,

The birthdays continue into this week. Today, we are celebrating another miracle. You all also joined us in praying for our sweet Chloe Jean. 

Here are several archived pics. 

God heard our prayers and chose to give us a miracle. We are still praising God for healing our precious princess!!

Chloe Jean is a thriving bundle of energy that is forever sweet. She had a party earlier this month. Her theme was 4ever Sweet. Chloe was so excited about the details of her party. She was ready to tell me all about it. 

Sadly, we could not be there. Her Mama Deidre and Aunt Selah sent me pictures of the celebration. It was so sweet. 

I will wrap this up and let the pictures close out. Thank you for visiting.
