Note: Do Not Eat Too Many Mango's Before A 7pm Show

Here are some more interesting photos for you today. Yesterday was a fabulous day off in San Antonio. I spent most of the day by the pool relaxing and getting rest and then spent the rest of the evening downtown where we had dinner and went to see Lion King at the Majestic Theatre. It was a pretty good Off Broadway production. I'm glad i went. I sat by myself on row K seat 1. It really was a good seat. I sat next to Gayle and Romina, two very nice ladies from New Orleans. Gayle was a talker basically from the moment she sat down. She had an amazing story too. Once she found out i worked with Veggie Tales, she said she was a Christian and just kept going on about what God is doing in her life. It was so cool! She began to tell me how her sister - Romina - had just gotten saved in December. Gayle had prayed for her sister for years, and the two of them never got along very well, but she didn't stop praying. When the hurricane happened, they both had to abandon their houses and they moved to Texas. During that time, Romina was "forced" to move about a block from their families church. Over time Romina was drawn to the church through prayer. And then it happened, she gave it all up, and became a child of God! Gayle said that "when people say that the hurricane was ALL bad, i say 'NO! My sister found GOD!'" So there you go folks! Romina somebody from somewhere found God because she was forced away from all that was normal in her life and she saw what she truly needed... a Saviour.

No, this tour is not just about kids and churches and VeggieTales, it's also about my day's off where i "randomly" sit by myself in a full theatre to meet two woman who's lives have been changed because of God, and in those moments we get to share 'tears' of oh good and how cool our God is.

Amen.


Teeler and Lessie!!! YEAH! It was a great...yet interesting day!!


Pa annoying me. or is it the other way around?


This is Brandon posing in Vegas.


Crystalyn and myself in somewhere USA...oh wait, that's in Canada, i think in BC. It was a cool lobby.


That's me.


Our promoter in the north west took us out to eat the night before our last show in Oregon. It was a really nice restaurant, a long table and good food. Troy, Michelle, me, Joe-Dell, Charlene and Andrea.


Michelle, me, Brandon and Charlene in the bus ready for bed.


Why are Brandon in so many of my pictures! "MY WORD!" This is before we climbed.


Brandon and myself racing up the "mountain-ish" range... you tell me who won!


This was an intense moment when i returned from food poisoning... Michelle had taken my place in Larry Boy so this was the tearful moment when the exchanging of flags occurred.

So i wrote the above part many days ago and i never finished it and posted it, so now it's time to do a little more updating. Today i'm in Jackson Mississippi, not one of the more glamorous cities, but we are having a day off here and that's just great. I'm going to get to see some of my childhood friends and that's exciting!

I've got a neat story for you. I was in some state... i think it was Texas because it was only a few shows ago. I was eating a meal in catering and across and down a bit from me was a man who was apart of our local crew. He began to tell us a little bit more about his life. What we discovered was that the majority of our local load in-out crew and stage hands were from sort of half way house program. These guys were amazing. This man continues to tell us about what he has been through. He was from south of New Orleans and ended up in Houston (where we were - i just remembered), he used to be caught up in all sorts of drugs and alcohol, it's all that consumed his life. But he said... and then God found me and changed me. He just kept going on about how good his God was, how amazing his life change has been. He gave it all to Christ, and now he wants to serve him as much as he can. I saw the life changed in this man, he was a different person... i didn't know him before, but the southern man with the sweet country accent explained to me the change, and it was beautiful. Here's to you mr. new orleans and the change that you are experiencing, God speed.

Mama and Papa went to see the show yesterday afternoon. It was really to see them and to go have lunch with the two of them. It meant a lot to me that they would travel for a couple hours to see me and the show! You'll see a picture of us a little later. And speaking of people seeing the show. If any of you guys would like to come see my show in the next couple weeks and it's near you, please call me or email me and tell me and i'll try to get you tickets...one: i would love to see you guys. two: i would love for you guys to see the show! please come if you can!

now it's time for pictures...oh and it's also time for Aevyn to be here! =-)
