I do apologize for the lack of updates here recently. It has been a busy month. We have now had our third funeral in three weeks. God has certainly taken a number of saints home with Him lately. But we have seen a bunch of family lately and despite the circumstances, that is always a nice thing. Thank you for each of the condolence cards that we have received. It is always an encouragement to know that people are praying for you!

McMillan & Life were honored to be a part of a benefit for the Chosen Ones earlier this month. Chosen Ones recently had to have the engine in their bus replaced and in case you don't know, that is a very costly expenditure. John Teaney and Ken Wise asked McMillan & Life, Lesters and the Wanda Mountain Boys to participate to help raise funds for the Chosen Ones. The Chosen Ones have done a lot for us as well as their community and it was an honor to be included.

We were blessed to be with Pastor Denny Hamilton and his wife in Edinburg, IL. What fun they are! God bless Brady Reuter for introducing us to such a wonderful congregation!

We'd like to thank Marci and the rest of the staff at WEIC for hosting us in Charleston, IL. It was short notice but they did a great job. We were told by many in attendance that night that they had used the station to promote us and clearly played a ton of our music. Thanks so much!

We also were thrilled to be asked to come back to Victory Church in Camargo, IL. We had such a great time with them when we were there last. Brother Piercy asked us to come back since a number in their church family had been out. This time they had a Thanksgiving feast to help their youth group.You know we can put away the turkey! It was delicious.

We hope each of you has a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. I know we all have a great deal to be thankful for regardless of the circumstances.

Till next time keep looking up with a song in your heart.
