No, I’m not on a first name basis with any of these individuals. Maybe Chris McDaniel but he probably wouldn’t know my first name without a reminder.

On April first I attended the annual Wild Game Supper at a local Baptist church. This was my second dinner, we got to see Sid Bream last year and won a sweet door prize. I mentioned Chadd Wright in Saturday’s post. He is a former Navy Seal with a passion for sharing the Gospel. He spent very little time talking about Seal teams and telling old stories and gave much attention to describing what Jesus can do in a person’s life. Chris McDaniel, formerly of Confederate Railroad, led music and has a powerful testimony of what God has done in his own life. Chris performed last year with Bream and I first met him at a much smaller event with just a few people during the pandemic era of social distancing and what not. It was a weird time. There was one salvation Saturday evening and Chadd took him directly to the baptistry.

On Monday, April 10th, Trudy Cathy White will be speaking on her book A Legacy that Lasts and the guys at our weekly ministers meeting decided to just move our group to that event. Lee Strobel, most well known for A Case for Christ and the franchise it led to, will be speaking on the National Day of Prayer at the Rome Area Prayer Breakfast. I haven’t been in a couple of years as another event conflicted but this year the “other event” has changed back to its previous noon hour time slot. The National Day of Prayer will be Thursday, May 4th, and there will be public events and prayer meetings at churches nationwide. You should be able to find one or more by checking the online newspapers and church websites where you live.
