House Concert and House of God


Weekend Recap!

SATURDAY

After a lazy morning, Rose and I headed out to to some shopping errands and worked on the house the rest of the afternoon.

When the evening rolled around, we headed out to the Oro Station Super City Resort and Casino for a house concert at the Scott and Janice Villa de-Musica!

The place was packed as we were entertained and led in worship by Drew Brown!

Drew has a soulful voice and some of his songs can be heard on LIFE.  He even threw in some Peter Gabriel tunes!  He was backed up by two friends on guitar and percussion.  During his break, Scott asked me to do some comedy and I was happy to do so!  My first private show!

Drew came back and closed the night with some worship tunes and some inspirational thoughts!

Drew Brown and band!

I shared my comedy in between sets.
After the concert I picked up a copy of "Herding Kittens" written by Scott.  The book shares the story of his three year journey, managing Anthem For Today.  I started reading it after the concert and I got about halfway through before I realized I should get some sleep!

SUNDAY

We started out early because we were booked to speak on behalf of LIFE at Christian Victory Center in Port Perry!

The LIFE booth goes to every church visit!

My message is called "The Force Awakens"

Gesturing is an effective speaking skill!

The worship time was great, the people loving and caring to!  My message is titled "The Force Awakens" (I hope no one steals the name...) and I talk about how God's word is the most powerful "force" in the universe!  I also encourage people that God is always working in our lives even if we don't see it because His word is like a seed, and the miracle of the seed happens underground, away from our sight!

It was a blessed time and we got to tour a bit of Port Perry.  We ate a yummy lunch at the Piano Cafe in the downtown, then stroll the walk.  I ended up with a silk Tommy Bahama shirt from a local clothing store!  Perfect for enjoying the sunshine!

An end of the day ice cream topped off the activity and we called it an afternoon!

Exhausted a bit...but happy!
