It is hard to know where to start. First let me tell everyone that reads this blog that I am sorry that I was unable to write last week but we didn't have internet access until the later part of the week and when I did have time to write, I chose to sleep and rest. So I am going to split this entry into 3 sections: The Morgan City show, Things that have happened, and Slidell.
To all of our friends and family in Morgan City, let me tell that the entire week was awesome. Thanks to my mom and sister for all they did to help make the week a huge success. The world premier of "The Ballad of Bullheaded Billy" was not only well executed but was far beyond all expectations. The children did an outstanding job and we are so proud of all of you. I hope and pray that the rest of your summer will be as exciting and fun filled as the week was that we spent with you. To quote my sister, you truly are the most twenty-onederful young people that we have been priviledged to work with. Kudos to the entire cast and crew for a fabulous job. We hope to see you in the future at some time and if not then like I told a young lady on Friday night last week, "It is not goodbye but for those of us who know the LORD in a personal way it is simply I'll see you at the Feast."
Many things have happened to us along the way since I last wrote but we have seen God be so good and He has truly guided and taken care of us. We have had two seperate trailer issues but neither one of them a flat on the side of the road. Before we left Stafford we installed a load leveling system which made the trailer ride more level and much smoother. As we were pulling out of Baton Rouge two weeks ago, one of the brackets cracked due to an imperfection in the steel. Fortunately we were pulling into the CC's coffee house and were not on the Interstate. We changed our trailer hook up back to the regular hitch ball and were able to get down the road to Morgan City where we were able to get a replacement bracket at no cost in time to head down the road to Slidell. The other issue happened in Slidell. When we were pulling out Friday afternoon we noticed a bulge in the sidewall of one the trailer's tires. It was the size of half a tennis ball. I was not excited to see this but glad I noticed in the day time because we may have missed it at night when we were loading. Since the trailer was mostly empty we decided to go ahead and change the tire with our full size spare. The only problem is that this was discovered 40 minutes before the children were supposed to arrive for the show. The people in Slidell were so gracious to us as they sent out word and some man came and changed out the tire and then some else took our extra tire we had and had it mounted on the rim. Unfortunately we have still not been able to find a replacement extra tire of the right size and rating. We use a really heavy duty tire. ST225/75R15 E grade 10 ply tire. They are special order in most places and everyone can get you one in a day or two but never on Saturday morning. But through all of this God has watched over us and taken care of us. This morning I am in Tennesse just south of Nashville. So far everything has worked well and we have had no further incidents. Please pray for our continued safety as we travel.
Finally, I want to close out this blog taking about our week at Slidell. The seventy two young men and women were an absolute delight to work with. Thank you Bro. Jim and the entire FBC staff for your love and tireless dedication to the children of Slidell. The week of camp went very smooth and the final performance was overwhelming. Words can not express our debt of gratitude to everyone. We came to be a blessing to all of you but we were the ones who left blessed and our cups are running over. Your flood of appreciation has touched us deeply and we pray that the work done there will be a springboard for even greater things to come in the days and weeks ahead. To the friends we met this week who were relief workers from all over the country thank you for your dedication to the Lord. This week there were over 300 workers working out of the church helping rebuild that community. It truly was an awesome sight to see the people of God giving so unselfishly of their time, talent and resources. Slidell we will never forget you and you will continue to be in our prayers for a long time to come. Hope to see all of you next year.
Some of you have asked me how you can leave a response to the posts that I create on the page. I did not realize that you have to have an account to do so. You can either sign up for an accout for yourself, it is free and you don't have to blog to have an account or you can use a special account that I have set up to leave messages. The user name is ffst2006 That stands for Frick and Frack summer tour 2006. If you will email me at frack@frickandfrackmusic.com I will send you the password and then you will be able to leave messages for me and the staff on this web page. Take care all and please never cease to pray for us as we are on mission this summer.
