Christmas Worship At Anchor Of Hope 2025

Hey Friends,

We got to be in service last night with our dear family and friends at the Anchor of Hope. Pastor E.J. and Sis. Lacey Lamb invited us to do worship for their Wednesday night service, and we love being there with them! They asked us to do some Christmas songs. 

Bro. Michael Alexander helped us on bass and Bro. Carmin Dottry played drums from the DRPC Band/ Kelly Jo Band. They were both a tremendous blessing to us!

Sis. Jacqueline Coffman and her Mom, Sis. Renae, came to be in service with us. Jacqueline also helped with narrating a couple places. She does a fabulous job. 

Joining us on vocals at Anchor was Bro. Luke Hauri. It was a privilege to sing with Luke. He is amazingly talented! 

Pastor E.J. Lamb had mentioned to us earlier in the year that he would love for Luke to come sing at Anchor. Mom had a last-minute idea to see if he would come help us. He was willing and available to make a special trip to Ohio, and we had a blast singing with him. Luke, thanks so much for signing with us!

Here are a handful of pictures I snapped last night at Anchor. Most of them are quick selfies. It was wonderful to see all of our friends. 

I hope you enjoy. See you later.

We ended the night at Alcapulco. Good food, fellowship and salsa! That is a fantastic way to wrap up a great day.

Due to bad weather coming to Ohio, we are getting questions about tonight’s concert in London, KY. We left Ohio before the snow came. Tonight's service will still take place at 7:00. Come see us at First Pentecostal!

Hey Friends,

Last night we had a fantastic time at DRPC. It was time for the Christmas dinner and the cantata. Here are the pics I snapped last night.

4 City Christmas Tour

 Hey Friends,

I guess we ended up with a mini Christmas tour this year. 1 date grew to 2, then 3, and now we are ending it with number 4 shortly before Christmas. We are celebrating the Joy of Christmas through song. 

We could have added more dates. I know we had some requests for other services. Due to my recent surgery, I only felt comfortable staying closer to home for this tour. 

The final countdown is on. It is an exciting time, but nerve-racking as well. We are working hard to prepare. It is coming down to the wire. 

We have 2 Christmas services this weekend. Both Friday and Saturday nights, we will also be joined by Bro. Colton Deane of Cantonment, Florida. We are so excited to sing with Colton. He is exceptionally talented!

A huge blessing for us this tour; since we are close to home, our band from DRPC has agreed to do most of these services with us. Mom and I are thrilled. That helps us tremendously. These 3 gentleman are like family to us, and we work together so often. It is extremely fun to make music with them!

Please keep us in your prayers. Stay tuned. I will recap each tour stop in a blog post. 

Thank you for reading. Hope we can see you soon.

Winter Weather Is Here

 Hey Friends,

We are still several days away from the official start date of winter on the calendar. Our first snow came last month, but it did not last long. We had a slight dusting of snow Saturday night, and it didn't even last long enough for pictures.

Here is the winter wonderland that came overnight, Monday into Tuesday. It was splitting snow when we were laid down Monday night. As the night progressed, I watched more snow come on my security cameras. By Tuesday morning, Mom and I guessed that we had somewhere between 4 and 5 inches of snow.

It was beautiful! The bad cold is here to stay for a while. Yesterday, I stayed snugly in the warm house. I had my heated throw close by for added warmth. 

I used the day for more recuperating. Mom made us some delicious chili for lunch and supper. It was a good snow day for me!

My photos was the closest we came to, my favorite, sunny beach weather yesterday. This cool tray on my Ottoman did make me smile. 

My Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen brought this to me recently. I absolutely love it! Thank you Steve and Karen for the “sick gift”! You helped me feel better. 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit! I will see you all tomorrow.
