I just got back from my less-than-24-hour-whirlwind-trip to Abilene. It is SO GREEN there! It's crazy. Wow. I don't think I've ever seen it so beautiful. It was like a trip to the Emerald City. (one short day in the Emerald Cityyyy...one very short day)

I got to hang last night with 2 of my old college roommates (who my blog readers know well by now). Craig just moved his family to Abilene where he is now the CEO of the Abilene Christian Schools (K-12). Stephen drove in to sing with me this morning. We had a blast. We ate Sharon Allen's REAL TX steak last night and then finished it off with a Cajun Cone! Hallelujah, praise the Lord for Cajun Cones!! Our time together was short, but rich.



Sam Souder is one of the students in the new Worship Ministry program (and also happens to be Craig and Beth Ann's nephew). He sang with me today too...



Below (L-R) Me, Jennifer Rasco (whom I have known her entire life from Highland), Benay Dennis and Sam Souder after chapel. (Kellie Miller, Kristen Ward, Val Durrington, Dylan Gay and Stephen also sang with me.)


And...to make the awesome 24 hours complete, I am back in Nashville where it is RAINING! Praise God!

I feel so old!! Sam's parents were volunteers with my youth group growing up before they even had a Sam!

Good news about Craig! That is a really awesome job.

Glad you made it home safely. Can't wait to hear the new songs!

Hay! I'm glad you had a good time in Abilene! My brother and sis-in-law live there now. It is a great city to be in. I hope to purchase the new Zoe Group CD at some point. I have greatly enjoyed listening to the ones we already have. Be blessed! Z
