ON THE ROAD: DICKSON, TN

Happy Father's Day to me. My three kids and my hot wife are at my in-laws this weekend while I'm on the road. We celebrated Father's Day on Friday actually when my kids presented me with a piece of concrete, a stepping stone with their hands stamped into it's face and their names scrawled around the edges. Weird how a piece of rock can make you feel when it comes from the right people.

So today Brian rejoins the team and the three of us (Molson's coming too) head out, after I vacuum out the mini-van, to the metropolis of Dickson,Tn. I'll post more after the show.

-----------------------------------------------

Dickson TN(picture taken before we set up. We decided not to use the colored microphone afros.)

UPDATE:
The show went well, better than well. A few folks from the message board made the drive from Nashville bearing gifts: cookies, ear-plugs (don't ask), a gallon of sweet tea from Chick-fil-A and t-shirts. Free stuff is always good. Free stuff from friends who've done so much to support my ministry and music over the years is even better. Thanks Robyn, Godzilla and Lindsay for making the trip. (picture coming soon)

The show was a kick off event for a week of missions at the church. Youth groups from all over the south gathered at First United Methodist Church in Dickson, TN to serve the poor in the area, building and repairing homes and a lot more. How refreshing. Instead of a youth camp, a mission week. Where was that when I was a self-absorbed teenager? And man was I?

I was also short on attention span. these folks weren't. They sat and listened and responded all night and then hung around afterward to talk about it all. It was a great night. Thanks to everyone who came out.

I never realised that our countries observed father's day in a different month. You learn something new every day. In oz father's day is in September.
