MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! THIS YEAR HAS ABSOLUTELY FLOWN BY HASN'T IT? WE HOPE THAT EVERYONE WILL GET TO SPEND SOME MUCH NEEDED TIME WITH THEIR FAMILY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. YOU CAN NEVER SPEND TO MUCH TIME ENJOYING EACH OTHERS COMPANY! OKAY, WELL MAYBE YOU CAN JUST A LITTLE SOMETIMES.....HEE-HEE! AS WE ALWAYS SAY, LET'S NOT FORGET THE REASON FOR THE SEASON AND THAT IS DEFINITELY JESUS CHRIST! WITHOUT HIM, WE HAVE NOTHING TO CELEBRATE. IT JUST AMAZES ME HOW SELF ABSORBED PEOPLE ARE AND HAVE BECOME. THINKING ONLY OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR NEEDS AND WANTS. SEEMINGLY NOT CONCERNED THE LEAST ABOUT OTHERS. IF YOU ARE A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER AND A TRUE CHILD OF GOD THIS SHOULD NOT AFFECT YOU. IF IT DOES THEN MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN SELFISH AND SELF ABSORBED. DON'T BE DISCOURAGED THOUGH, THERE IS A WAY TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. IT'S CALLED REPENTENCE! REPENT FOR THE ME, MY AND I SYNDROME. ASK THE LORD TO HELP YOU TO BE MORE OBSERVANT OF OTHERS AND WHAT MAY BE GOING ON IN THEIR LIFE! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AND LET'S GO BACK TO DOING WHAT GOD CALLED EACH AND EVERYONE OF US TO DO AND THAT IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND BARE ONE ANOTHERS BURDENS. LET'S BE MORE ATTENTIVE TO ONE ANOTHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST. I BELIEVE THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE FOR IT AND YOU WILL GET EXTRA BLESSINGS BESTOWED UPON YOU TOO! SO, TO EACH AND EVERYONE.......FROM US TO YOU...........MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! WE LOVE YOU!

ON THE ROAD AGAIN WITH THE GYPSIES HELLO AGAIN FRIENDS! WE HAD A FEW SINGINGS TO TELL YOU ABOUT! FIRST SINGING WAS AT BLOOD COVENANT CHURCH. THE DEVIL THOUGHT THAT HE WAS GOING TO PREVAIL BUT "THE DEVIL IS A LIE!" WE DIDN'T HAVE ONE OF THE CORDS WE NEEDED FOR THE SOUNDING BOARD. REX HAD TO LEAVE THE CHURCH AND GO ALL OVER TOWN TRYING TO FIND ONE BEFORE THE SERVICE. WHICH HE DID! THANK GOD WE WERE ABLE TO, BECAUSE WE WERE A WAYS FROM A PLACE TO GET ONE. WHEN HE FINALLY MADE IT BACK THE SERVICE BEGAN. WE SAW AN AWESOME MOVEMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT DAY! WE JUST WANT TO THANK GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAKBLE GLORY! THANK YOU LORD!! WE HAD A GREAT FELLOWSHIP AFTERWARDS TOO. THE NEXT SINGING WE HAD WAS IN GEORGIA, IT WAS A BENEFIT SINGING FOR A CLOSE FRIEND OF OURS GRANDSON THAT IS 17 YEARS OLD THAT WAS DIAGNOSED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WITH A VERY RARE FORM OF CANCER. PLEASE KEEP HIM AND HIS FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYERS. THEY HAVE GIVEN THE NEWS THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN REALLY DO FOR HIM.....BUT WE KNOW THE ONE WHO CAN!!! AMEN!! WE ARE BELIEVING FOR A MIRACLE FOR OUR DEAR FRIEND CHRIS OATS!!! PLEASE PRAY WITH US!OUR GOD IS ABLE!! BOY OH BOY DID WE HAVE A SINGING! LET ME TELL YOU....WE HAD A "SANGIN'"...THERE'S DIFFERENCE....RIGHT AT $1000.00 WAS RAISED THAT NIGHT. PRAISE THE LORD! CHRIS WAS THERE AND IN EXTREME PAIN BUT HE WAS THERE AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE HIM. THE NEXT MORNING WE SANG IN ANOTHER TOWN ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM THERE AT IONE FIRST FREEWILL BAPTIST CHURCH...NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT THE SPIRIT CARRIED OVER INTO THAT SERVICE..IT WAS A BARN BURNER..THE SPIRIT FELL AND THE ALTER FILLED UP. ONE ACCEPTED CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ONE REDEDICATED THEIR LIFE TO CHRIST...AWESOME...JUST AWESOME! WE ENJOYED THE FELLOWSHIP AFTERWARDS AND THEN LOADED UP AND HEADED BACK TO SYLVESTER TO PINE HILL BAPTIST CHURCH AND WAS GREETED BY BRO. RONNY AND THEN THE PREACHER BRO. DONNIE. THE SERVICE WAS GOOD THE PEOPLE WERE VERY GRACIOUS TO US AND WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER ENDING TO AN AWESOME WEEKEND! WE JUST WANT TO GIVE ALL THE PRAISE, HONOR AND GLORY TO OUR LORD AND KING, JESUS CHRIST! WE HAVE ONE SINGING LINED UP FOR DEC. AND THAT IS AT GREEN SPRINGS IN PRATTVILLE. THEY HAVE ASKED US BACK AGAIN TO SING FOR THE SWEET RESIDENTS OVER THERE AND WE MOST CERTAINLY COUNT IT A PRIVILEDGE.....UNTIL NEXT TIME, PRAY FOR US AS WE PRAY FOR YOU!
