Ya'll come

Saturday night, I, along with members of our choir, will be going to Freedom Baptist church to sing. We did this last year and had a good time. They have several good singers at Freedom and lots of musicians. I remember last time we went I was sick and my throat was very irritated. I strained my voice that night singing, Saved By the Blood, and it took me nearly 2-months to recover from it. Hopefully this year my throat will be okay. So far, so good.

Right now I've decided on I'll Live Again, Saved to the Uttermost, and I'm Glad I Know Who Jesus Is. We will probably do another or two, depending on how many people are going to sing. Freedom Baptist has a singing the first Saturday of every month. Some folks have asked me about having monthly singings at Highland. To be honest, I really do not enjoy regularly scheduled singings. Mainly because it would end up being me and a couple of other people that would be doing all the work. Also, they tend to turn into endurance contests. I have been to hundreds of singings in my life and I have had to endure some pretty rough services. I think it is uncalled for when a group gets up to sing and drags out one of those 3-foot thick notebooks and commence to singing every single song in them. There is NOTHING spiritual about that. Besides, we already have more than our share of singing at church, throwing in an extra service for it is too much. I would go along with maybe 3 or 4 times a year, but definitely not every single month.

If you are interested in going to the singing, just come to Highland on Saturday at 6:45 PM and we will leave from there and head over to Freedom Baptist. The singing starts at 7:30pm. Freedom Baptist is located at 5518 Nickle Rd., Knoxville, TN 37921. For driving directions click HERE. If you need a ride, please call me 219-0996.
