Well, the summer's gone and we head
into fall. Boy, the time seems to fly by faster than ever before! But as the
world seems to whiz by, we need to stop and "smell the roses" along
the way. Let's not get caught up with the fast paced, need-it-now,
self-centered life that can draw us farther away from time with God. We need to
stay focused on daily conversation and communion with our Father. It's very
precious time that will help us through every day, every trial and bring peace,
love and joy to our heart and soul. It's ME time with Him - no one else matters
and we should look forward to the time we set aside for that purpose. If you
haven't done so, get started and make it a routine you cannot break!
Again, we had a blast on our
return visit to the New York City area. Seeing old friends, making new friends,
sampling NY food (pizza, bagels, pastries), laughter and fellowship were cake
icing to Brotherhood's concert dates. We even saw a street stick ball game in
the Bronx - that brought back memories! Ministering at 4 churches in 3 days,
these warm, gracious people quickly became family and they enjoyed good gospel
quartet music. Many have heard us before and requested a favorite or two.
"Roll Away" has become a sing-a-long chorus and "Jesus You're So
Wonderful" is now referred to as the do-wop song. We packaged a variety of
tunes from our recent CD project among others that included new gospel, hymns,
accapella and gospel classics. We also added a Retro Praise segment of
uplifting, hand clapping, revival time medley songs for all to sing. They loved
it! Brotherhood's blend of music & message touched many lives as evident by
those who came forward during altar call. We love NY and God loves NY, too!
