Well - I felt as though I was in concert last night - on stage - before a large audience - being taped for a future TV appearance. - - - But, it was all on stage - being taped for future TV appearance - - but it was not me - - It was the Bill Gaither Gospel Homecoming Reunion 2009 - River Center - Baton Rouge. I was blessed with winning a pair of tickets to attend this event.
How did I win them - you ask ? While driving home one evening in rush hour traffic - - nothing about rush in this traffic - it's all bumper to bumper - - so with my radio on - - I heard my favorite radio station say - be the 12th caller (yes - 12) - - and you will win a pair of free tickets to the Bill Gaither Gospel Homecoming Reunion - - and guess what - - I won ! - -
Then there is "Intermission" - - a wonderful opportunity of getting to meet them - - - and, yes I talked to my favorite few ! It's always amazing (encouraging) - - that even though the majority of these guys travel by 'motor coach' - - and rarely sleep becuz the multiple concert tours (daily) - - -they are always sharing testimony - and you find out - - these great people - are just like you and I. Singing it all thru song.
I've always wanted to be a 'singer' - - In my younger days - it was a 'country music singer' - - but now as I get older - - I would love to be a Gospel Singer - - ! A friend adn I are considering singing on '5th Sunday Night Singing' - - but we both sing ALTO - so this may not work. But until that time occurs - I'll continue going and listening to my favorite groups.
Today - My daily steps led me to the following reality - - A flat in the driveway - - - Not too funny, huh? But I'm thankful - the flat occurred in the driveway - ! - - and not on the road - - My Aunt let me borrow her vehicle - - - and my neighbor said - he will change the flat before I return home. What a sweet Aunt - - and a great neighbor. I'm so thankful for both of them.
You are the lukiest person I know. You are constantly winning tickets off the radio, when others just get a busy signal. I look forward to seeing you in the choir at church to start your career
ReplyDeleteNice post. i'm glad you won. i know you had fun. But (1 more complaint from me) couldn't you show just one little picture or maybe 2? If you didn't have your camera with you, perhaps you should get a camera phone so you will always have access to take pictures and post them for us. Try and get your singing on tape so I can hear.
