Snow in West TN

It's snowing in West TN.

Reminds me of home. (NE Ohio)

I know my mom is happy to see some more snow! LOL (Hi Ma! Love you!)

It's not Christmas, but seeing the snowfall brings these lyrics to mind:


Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.
For all is hushed,
The world is sleeping,
Holy Star its vigil keeping.
Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.

Sleep, sleep, sleep,'
Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.
The night is peaceful all around you,
Close your eyes,
Let sleep surround you.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,'
Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.

Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.
While guardian angels without number,
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.

Trumpet Section

Here is a picture of the trumpet section from the Jackson Swing Orchestra.

This is from the night of our Valentine's Day gig at Miss Ollie's in downtown Jackson, TN.

Dave, the lead trumpet player, appears to be in his glory with all those females around! LOL

We had a great time that night!

Are You Missing Him?

This morning I awakened feeling and all too familiar dread at facing the day. I wanted to pull the covers over my head and just stay in my warm, comfy bed. I began to pray out of convicton....
"Father, forgive me for my attitude. Please make your presence obvious to me today. Blow my mind!"
Without even realizing it in the moment, God was already blowing my mind because He responded immediately to my request with, "I make my presence obvious to you all day every day. You just don't notice."
From that moment on, my day changed. I got out of bed and decided to really pay attention to God's presence saturating every aspect of my life and it has been blowing my mind!
