8 SAVED AT BIBLE BAPTIST IN GROVE OK

IN BRANSON FOR 4 DAYS AND PASSED OUT 1,000 TRACTS
We got together for breakfast with some
dear friends in the Ministry, Randy and Shirley Davis
Randy is a preaching chalk artist and his wife sings.
Randy was doing a meeting North of Springfield and
his Dad lives in Branson, so they came down on Tuesday.
If you haven't had Randy in, you have missed a blessing.

One of the things Norma wanted to do was ride the
Branson train. As young girl, she was raised on the
railroad tracts as her Dad was a welder for Southern Pacific.

A bluegrass and bluegrass Gospel family
The Red Head Express asked me to close out
their show by doing my flag poem honoring the Veterans
If you go to Branson, make that show a must see.
They love Bluegrass and have studied under the masters.
They are really good and clean, clean family entertainment.

8 SAVED AT BIBLE BAPTIST IN GROVE OK.
A packed house with 276 in attendance.
7 more would have tied their 28 year high of 281

Lots of visitors and some of them saved.

This young man is one of those that got saved.

This Pastor Guy Morrow. He and his wife Brenda
came and started Bible Baptist 28 years ago.
It is good to see faithful Pastors that stick with it.
He is also a carpenter and uses that trade to reach people.

Dinner on the grounds with almost not enough food
to feed the big crowd that came to the service.

Pastor Morrow is also a fishing guide
on Grand Lake there in Grove. He gave
me a free fishing trip Saturday. We
caught a few, and the day was beautiful.

There are mulitimillion dollar homes on the lake.
And they are beautiful, but they are temporary, and
won't compare to what you and I will have in Heaven.

Got this picture in an email, 2nd Genration.

Let's not forget the sacrifice made for us.

AURORA AND SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI

4 SAVED AT AURORA BAPTIST TEMPLE IN MO.

This is not the 4 that got saved. This is Pas. Ed Walls and
his Charming Lil lady Phyliss. I have been with Ed before
when he Pastored in Ft. Worth and in Baltimore.

It was old fashion day and this
lil lady dressed the part, freckles and all.

They are doing a good job with the
church growing and people being saved.

The church was pretty well packed
out with lots of visitors

They had dinner on the grounds with hot dogs
and good BBQ chopped beef sandwiches.

An old friend from the area Charles Murrary
came to hear me. He made, and donated some
of my gun belts and holsters for me several years ago.

A bluegrass group in the church sang and played.

SUNDAY NIGHT WE WERE AT
WEST DIVISION ST. BAP.IN SPRINGFIELD MO.

Charlie Bell and his wife are doing a great job.
The church has grown about 100 since he became
Pastor, and I think they will continue to grow.
He took the church about 2 years ago when
Bill Kolb retired. I met Charlie when he was
an Associate Pastor in New Mexico. They were
also Missionaries to Argentina.

Some of the Sunday night faithfuls, and a few visitors too.

COWBOYS IN CHRISTOVAL & FBC ELDORADO

CHRISTOVAL TEXAS COWBOY GATHERING ON SATURDAY

Everyone was invited and the Lord saved 2 visitors.

The Cowboy Gathering was put together
by Dan Glasscock of Christoval Cowboy Church.
Bud and Barbara Arendt also worked with me on this,
and took me out to eat after the services Sunday in Eldorado.

It was a long drive to Christoval close to San Angelo.
I will do a painting of this farm I saw on the way.

There were 5 Cowboy Churches that participated
in the gathering. A new work in Ballingerdid not have a sign,
and the Brushy Top Cowboy Church in Eldorado,
another new work.

Overview of the park were the gathering was held.

The mechanical bull was a big hit with this lil cowboy.
This is Colton Arendt, 7 years old.

This picture might make a good painting.

There was a lot of cooking going on, including
Fajitas, and several baked in the ground cobblers.

Coffee was always on.

Some had some real nice chuck wagons.

The fellow with the walker, made the best chili I
had ever put in my well used mouth. He is sending
me the receipe for it. I can't wait to cook it myself.
I am writing this blog at 9:00am and I could eat
another bowl of it right now. ummmmmm good.

Cobbler in the making by these cowgirls.
These Cowboys did not go around hungry.

They are training their future cooks. Just as
we need to train our future leaders and teachers
in our churches.

They had a tent set up, and the crowd listened to
Christian music played by the Cowboy Bands
from the Cowboy Churches that came.

That night I preached my Freedom and Sacrifice
message to over a hundred that came and two
were snatched from the Devils herd and put
into the Lord's fold.

I used my MotorHome to hold the screen
for video background for my message.

Not everyone sit under the tent.

"You want me to do what?"
Wasn't too bad once I got on.
But hard on the hips, that was a wide Longhorn

Since I live in Aggieland and Texas Longhorns
are our rivials, I felt good about being on top.

Of course, lots of tracts were give out to the visitors.

Looking across my table.

Special music from a Cowboy Singer

SUNDAY MORNING AT F.B.C ELDORADO
I thank Pastor Andy Anderson for giving me his
pulpit and for having me in on the way back home.
I apologize for not getting a picture with him.

I did get a picture of the Mayor John Nikolauk .
We had a long talk before services, and he is
definetly a conservative politician in Eldorado.

This is the Assoc. Pastor that did the Childrens
story time before my message. Put it down where
the children can get it, and the adults will get it too.

We had a good attendance, and all got the Gospel.
