I was among the Tyler crowd, and what a blessing! Sarah’s singing beautiful, the moon shining so brightly as she was singing about Jesus being the sun:)The crepe myrtles in bloom…and conflict in the story, LOVED IT:)
This mission is heavy on my heart and in my prayers. Much Love to you all~

It was good to learn more about the concert in Tyler. I had encouraged a friend in Shreveport to attend, but his retelling of the evening lacked my desired level of detail. Your entry and photos filled in a few gaps.

The week before the concert, while getting to know a couple as we waited in line for water rides at Six Flags Over Georgia, I mentioned Sara Groves in an extended conversation about ministry, books, music and family. It was upon mentioning her name that the couple shared with me that two of their sons were part time musicians, in addition to being full time pastors at Westside in Bend. And that their middle son, Casey Parnell, had recently released an acoustic CD (www.myspace.com/caseyparnellmusic). In “The Day You Fold” he writes about the process of “figuring it out” (Philippians 2:12-13), which is how I often describe Sara Groves’ lyrics to others.

I am sharing because I think that his music might meet your listening standards and it’s always fun discovering Oregonians who create good things.

I wish I were riding with you all, I really do. You’re so so close to finishing. I bet you’ll be sad in a way when you’re home again. But come on down to La-La land and visit ( I can say this, safely home for a week in Gloucester)

See you at Ecclecia,
Shauna

I’m from Tyler, and I’ve been following from the beginning. Just wanted to say thanks for such a powerful night. My life and my kid’s lives were touched in a way that won’t soon be forgotten.

Thanks for the breakdown. It’s helps me pray more specifically for you all.

This was so awe inspiring to read. Thanks for the average day blow down. I sent it to a couple friends who are riding Seattle to Portland soon. I thought it would pump them up!

I am enjoying reading the progress and your adventures! It makes me want to make you all a good meal when you return. I wish you were going to be in Seattle!
