Reunited & it feels so good!

Spent an inspiring night with my girl Katelyn Epperly… Great food, great conversation, and after dinner, I got a little private concert.  She played me some of her newest material… Gorgeous stuff!   Girl’s been a writing fool since her time on Season 9 of American Idol… I can’t wait for her CD to come out! Go Katelyn! Check her out here.

The Civil Rights Experience 2011

“In 1961 an integrated bus of black and white college students left Nashville on a “Freedom Ride” into the deep South to oppose segregation, suffering immensely on the journey. 50 years later I’m on an integrated bus going to Birmingham and Montgomery to see the impact they made. We are all beneficiaries of their blood. Don’t you dare settle for modern day segregation.” – Pastor Chris Williamson (Strong Tower Bible Church, Franklin TN) … I was on that bus. The trip was life changing! I choose to remember the awful times in our history because I never want to repeat them.

In Marin Luther King's home at the Dexter Ave Parsonage, praying in the same kitchen that King walked into on the night of Jan 27th 1956 after receiving one of many death threats in the middle of the night. That was the night King famously bowed his head over an untouched cup of coffee and prayed aloud in desperation. King said that as he prayed he had an epiphany of the reality & presence of God as he heard God through an "inner voice" telling him to keep on fighting the good fight, and to not fear for He would never leave him, that He would be with him unto the very end. Three days later King's house was bombed and as his friends and neighbors rallied for a fight, King stood on his porch and told them all to go home, he was not afraid... King was determined to love the "Hell" out of his enemies...
