Georgia Rain

I received this email this morning. I agree with Kevin that we do have a lot in common. I am a Trisha fan as well. For those of you in other states, Monticello Ga (hometown of Trisha Yearwood) is about 1 hour from Reynolds Ga where I grew up. I never met Trisha but I did meet her parents one night several years ago when I was speaking at a local Chamber of Commerce event there. Trisha's Georgia roots run deep. Great song. Great suggestion.

Bruce:
I have been reading your blog for quite some time and thoroughly enjoy it. I purchased your CD and let my wife and mother-in-law listen to it on a trip they made together to a funeral of a family member. It helped them through it.

I am an optometrist in Florida, same age as you,love the same music, went to Nazarene college in Nashville same years you were in college,tear up at the same videos as you, as big a sports fan as you, etc. etc. etc.

I know you are taking it a little easier on your blog volume, so I have a suggestion on a day you want to take it easy.

You are such a great Georgia fan, play the music video by Trisha Yearwood "Georgia Rain".

WHY?

1. Trisha was born in Georgia (Monticello)

2. The title of the video has Georgia in it. (Not the Georgia Bulldogs, or the Atlanta Braves, or the little league world series team from Georgia,etc. but at least the word Georgia).

3. It has the name of a county in Georgia, Jasper county.

4. It has another pretty girl singing in the video (and since every picture you put on your blog is of apretty girl, that fits).

Just a suggestion. I will continue reading as you inspire me to continue serving the Lord down here in Florida

I'll bet Kevin, from Florida, attended Travecca Nazarene College in Nashville and know Alan and Carolyn Smith. Alan and Carolyn were classmates of mine and your brother, Mac's at Asbury. Later in 1967, they were next door neighbors of ours when you visited us and your sister Kikky in Wilmore. Alan just retired from Travecca. It is a small world!
