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...

Carl and I went down to National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY this past Friday. It was the first time either of us had been to NQC . I had heard a lot about it, but have never gone. We had a great time. We went to the Bill Gaither Sing-A-Long Showcase in the afternoon, and to the evening concert. The afternoon event was open seating, so we got seats near the floor, kinda close to the stage. There were quite a few artists there. I enjoyed it. One of the songs I enjoyed the most was hearing Lynda Randle sing "God on The Mountain." I love that song, and she always does an amazing job. Plus, it was one of Dad's favorites, so it means even more to me now. After the showcase, we ran into Nate Stainbrook , a friend of ours. He also happens to be my cousin Jennifer's boyfriend. Carl and I left the expo hall to check into our hotel. We got a great rate at the Holiday Inn on the south side of the airport. It was a really nice room. I think the hotel itself is pretty ...
