Greetings from the road! I know my freezing friends in the Midwest don't want to hear about this, but I've just spent 6 weeks in cargo shorts and sandals hanging out in our churches in Florida. I got to play in a couple of Lutheran schools in Seminole and Crown of Life in Fort Myers. It's always a treat to sing to the little lambs and I never fail to be amazed at the work of our wonderful called workers - the caring, hardworking teachers that serve them. I parked the bus on the property of Redeemer at Merritt Island for almost 3 weeks while I commuted to nearby churches. What a treat to spend quality time with my friend Pastor David Rosenbaum who got me involved in things like Tied Together, a program to help young men in high school learn how to tie a tie, shake hands and talk to a potential boss. He also had me sing at a couple of assisted living centers where he teaches and preaches. We watched the Superbowl together and had many laughs. Another high point was when I got to present a benefit concert for Amazing Grace in Panama City and sing for a large group of individuals and Builders For Christ restoring the church so badly damaged by hurricane Michael. It was just great to reconnect with my friends in 24 Florida churches!Florida notes
