August 2008 has just about wound down and I can’t remember where the time went.  We’ve been having so much fun doing what God has asked us to do.  The joy He gives us, his children, for just faithfully doing what He’s blessed us to do, can’t be obtained from any other source.  Not even close.  Praise the Lord!

We’ve enjoyed seeing a lot of old friends this month, many of them not far from home. One of the great benefits of our calling is getting to be a small part of so many people’s lives. We also enjoy making new friends, as we did again this last weekend out around Potosi Missouri.  Christian brothers and sisters are just good people!

We are looking forward to a couple of upcoming special events in Sept. and Oct. that we hope you will put on your calendar.

The first is, of course, the “Big Show” or the National Quartet Convention, September 8 –13, at the Fairgrounds in Louisville, KY.  It’ll be a great week of singing, visiting and general fun for all.  Come by and see us in booth(s) 912 and 914. Also plan to catch us Monday afternoon as we perform on the Featured Artist Showcase beginning at 12:00 noon.  We believe we’ll be on around 1:30, or so, but aren’t sure so come and catch it all.  You’ll like it.

Secondly, you may want to catch us at Gospel Music Fall Festival in Renfro Valley on Saturday, Oct. 4.  We’ve been a part of this annual event for several years and look forward to it each fall.  Many people like to come, camp out, catch the old tractor show, watch sorghum being made and other interesting crafts, as well as, hearing good gospel music.

Finally, we sincerely hope you’re planning to attend the annual Patriot Quartet Homecoming, Oct. 24-25 at the Lawrenceburg United Methodist Church on the corner of US 127 and Carlton Drive.  Our musical guests on Friday night will be our friends the Northmen from Ft Wayne, IN.  You’ll absolutely enjoy their singing and on- stage antics.  We love these guys and know you will to.  Saturday night the 25^th we’ll be welcoming One Voice a brother/sister duo from around Crab Orchard, KY.  They’re no strangers to this area, having already visited several churches here.  Many of you may also have enjoyed their music on WCGM-770 AM and other local radio stations over the past several years. Come join in the fun. We will not be selling tickets, but we are asking for a minimum $10.00 donation at the door.  However, no one will be turned away or embarrassed for lack of funds.  We want everyone to attend and enjoy this special time we set aside each year to see and thank our closest friends and supporters.

Until next time, may God bless you and may God bless America!
