Froelich's Frolics

Our second day at NQC started with a showcase featuring Dr. David Jeremiah. We got to the Expo Center around 10AM and the showcase started at 10:30. The Hoppers sang a song before Dr. Jeremiah spoke. His message was from Revelation 2, where God is speaking to the church at Ephesus. The church that had lost its first love. Dr. Jeremiah gave an excellent message. It spoke to me. As Christian workers, we tend to get SO busy working for God, that we forget the REASON we do what we do. (At least, that is what it is like for me.) I have had to ask God to forgive many times for getting too busy doing good things, and not taking the time for Him. After hearing Dr. Jeremiah, we made our way to Freedom Hall for the Bill Gaither Sing A Long. The stage was packed with Southern Gospel artists. There were several great songs sung by the whole group, including the audience. A highlight was when Bill Gaither had Mosie Lister join him at the front of the stage. The crowd gave him a standing ovat...

This year, Carl and I went down to NQC for two days, Thursday and Friday. The first thing we attended was the Gaither Vocal Band Reunion on Thursday afternoon. It was really good. I was a little disappointed that Guy Penrod was not there, but the concert was very good. After the GVB Reunion, we left to go check in at our hotel, which was the same one we stayed at last year, Holiday Inn by the Louisville Airport. It is a newer hotel and is really nice. It is also right of the interstate, and easy to get to. After we checked in and changed clothes, we went back to Freedom Hall for the evening concert. We watched part of the concert, and then went out to the Exhibit Hall to walk around a bit. We talked a bit with Ronnie and Michael Booth. They are such super sweet guys. I got to meet Steve Green as well. Some of the highlights of Thursday's night concert were: Collingsworth Family - Fear Not Tomorrow and Tell The Mountain The Isaacs - I'm Going to Love You Through It (This...

I am not doing so great on keeping this blog updated, am I? We get so busy with life that I don't have the time to journal it. A couple of weeks ago, Carl and I went to Apple Works for the first time this fall. We love going there. Carl loves apples, and you can get a peck of them for only $10, and that is a lot of apples. I love their apple dumplings...yum! We always buy one and share it there. They also have a small farm yard of sorts with turkeys, goats, sheep, chickens, etc. The goats are fun to watch. There is also a pumpkin patch and train ride for little kids. We took some pictures as we walked along a trail. We look forward to going to Apple Works again soon. It is a great place to go in the Fall.

I don't know how long it has been around, but I have recently come across a website called Pinterest. (I remember it as interest with a P.) It is sorta like Facebook, your Favorites list, and Google all rolled into one. You can find people to follow (the Facebook part), search for anything (the Google part) and "pin" anything that catches your eye to your boards (the Favorites part). You can have as many boards as you like. I have boards like Recipes, For the Home, Hairstyles, Crafts and DIY, etc. At first, it was a little overwhelming. But I soon got the hang of it, and check it out at least once a day. I also have the iPhone app, so I can "pin" while on the go. You can pin things you find on the web, say a recipe from Taste of Home, to your recipe board. Then, you don't have to go back to the Taste of Home website and search for it again. You can just go to your Recipes board and click on the picture to go to the recipe. Or while looking at the boards an...
