Southern Sound Qt

Southern Sound - Dec 2003

Like the old song goes "Christmas time's a coming, Christmas time's a coming." Now if I can figure out what my wife wants for Christmas I will be set! Southern Sound is settling down for the Holiday season, and our travel becomes far less intense during this time. I suppose it's a good thing too, for our bus is in Tuscaloosa, AL being repaired. Of course for all of us Baptist its Lottie Moon time too and I know some folks wonder if that lady will ever be paid off. We had a wonderful time singing in the Alabama area, but that rented U-Haul truck coming home was tight with four guys in the cab. I do hate busses, but sure seem to be a necessary evil.

I've just got to tell you folks about my Thanksgiving time with my daughter, son-n-law, and granddaughter, Cora who is a tad over three years old. We decided Friday morning to go out for breakfast at a nearby Cracker Barrel. I am driving, my son-n-law Brad is in the passenger seat in front, and my wife Delita, daughter Sheila, and little Cora are in the backseat. Not 2 minutes into our drive a man pulled out in front of me and I had to lock it up to keep from hitting him. I yelled as if he could hear me, "You idiot". (Which was wrong of me.)

Cora said, "Mom, is that the same idiot that was at the church?" Sheila asked her, "What are you talking about?" Cora said again, "That idiot at the church, Mom. The man who passed out the little Bibles." Sheila had a puzzled look on her face, and when the light came on she yelled, "Gideon Sweetie! Gideon!" Aren't kids a hoot?

We wish to say thank you to folks at US Gospel News for doing an article on us this month. They got our location wrong, but that's ok. When they talked with our bass singer Charles he gave them his home address rather than the quartet's address. But all the same, we are thankful for the kind words.

Stay tuned early in 2004 for we have some major announcements to send your way. I would like to tell you now, but I am not supposed to. So for now, I will say I am excited about the doors God is opening for us and the people he send our way.

Please everyone, have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! Stay safe and remember the reason.
