Here are the awaited pictures. I know y’all been just dying! To start things off? Here’s Sheree and I having a grand time… waiting. This is Keith during the opening. He really is a fabulous entertainer and probably one of the best guitarists I’ve ever seen. Amazing. For thos of you who are in the know – he reminded me …

Okay, I’d planned on a Keith Urban update complete with blurry pictures, but I’m too tired.Bed at 3:00 a.m., up at 11:00 and dinner with the Girden’s and Exley’s at 6:00. James is home for the weekend. So, I’m determined it’s God time over Blog. Stay tuned.

8:00 a.m. – trip to the dentist. Fun. Not.2:00 p.m. – leaving for Keith Urban concert. Fun! True.Though, I must admit, I’ll miss being at Fire Dweller. I think it would be better than Keith. Hanging out with Jesus and His folk always is.
