The Car Show Pictures Are In

Here are some pictures from the Classic Car Show and Concert. It was a great day for XALT! and for the church, they raised a great deal of money for their charity. Up next the "Relay For Life" for the American Cancer Society in Gallitin TN.

A Little Late In Posting

Sorry for the lack of posting lately, work and home life has been very busy. Here's a quick update. We had a great afternoon at the Classic Car show, there was a great deal of musical talent and beautiful cars. Hopefully I'll have some pictures up early next week. Sunday we did our regular service at New Beginnings - the highlight of the service was the message brought by our own Mark Mills. God is great and is working so hard in our lives and in the lives of the saints at New Beginnings.
We are looking forward to our late night appearances at some up coming "Relay For Life" American Society benefits and the Portland Strawberry Festival. Check out the schedule and come on out and celebrate with us.
More soon.]V

Look closely in the middle and you will see our buddy Jason Oliver (in the ball cap) that filled in for Eddie at Tater Day. Thanks Again Jason! You Rock Dude!

Tater Parade!

Believe me there were Lots of tractors! But it looked like a cool little small town Parade, Wish I'd stayed and watched it!

Randy and Mark! (Pictures are a bit blurry - don't worry it's not your eyes)

Tater Pictures

OK so Tater Day was a big disappointment for us but whenever we get a chance to get together and play something good comes of it. For instance I learned how to better screen offers! "Trust Your Gut" is my new motto, that and "Beware Of All Metal Buildings"



Anyway a few pictures from the "Event" are filtering in (Thanks Susie) so I thought I would post them.


Lucy and Jessica enjoy a Funnel Cake



This is the group that played before us, "Santa" was the bass player and our favorite


AHHHH The Ladies Of X-ALT! You Gotta Love 'Em



That's it for now - I've been afraid to see what is on our camera at home (I'm really trying to block out April 2, 2007) but I'll look when I get home and if there is anything good I'll post it later.

We don't need no stinking bunny!

X-ALT! celebrated Easter with the good folks at New Beginnings SMC yesterday and to say it was a celebration is an understatement! What an incredible service, God was present and his glory was lifted high. Rev. Brian Haws brought a great message about the freedom we received with the risen Christ. How that one act, Christ's rising from his earthly grave set all of us free. It was an Easter that I think we will all remember for a long time to come.

Happy Easter!

X-ALT! will be bringing the praise to New Beginnings SMC this Easter Sunday along with our good friend Rev. Brian Hawes bringing the word. We met Brian at Riverbend Prison where he service as one of the pastors that work with the 23rd Psalm Prison Ministry. Brian has a down home, conversational style of preaching that is incredibly effective, I have no doubt that this will be an excellent Easter Service and I hope that many visitors will find their way to New Beginnings!

Also I have added links for the Portland Strawberry Festival and the Gallatin Relay for Life Benefit. Please take a moment and check out these great events.

See you soon

Well,Well,Well, Where do I start with this.
Yesterday X-ALT! went to "Tater Day" in Benton KY.
Benton is a beautiful little town in West Kentucky and on "Tater Day" this small town grows to a population of over 20,000 and has parades, a carnival and all kinds of good fun.
They also have a "Singing On The Hill" a Gospel music celebration, that's where X-ALT! comes in, we asked about the Singing On The Hill, sent them a CD and info about us and we were asked to join in the days festivities.
Well it turns out that "Singing on The Hill" should be called "Singing in the GYM", in an all metal building. Now anyone that knows anything about sound knows that if you put a big band in a big metal building with no sound baffling you get noise from the sound bouncing all over the room. That combined with the fact that the singing they wanted was strait from the hymnal church music with a little southern gospel thrown in for good measure, X-ALT! became the famous "Fish Out Of Water". I think we all saw it coming but it was too late. The twenty or so people that bothered to show up (We had been told to expect between 80 & 100) looked at us like dogs watch TV, their eyes kinda glazed over. Thankfully there were a few we saw singing along but for the most part it was not pretty.
Nothing against the good people of Benton, but next year I think I'm gonna schedule a root canal for the first Monday in April.
We all have bad days and what doesn't kill us makes us stronger - Today - I am Superman!
