Rocky Mount
I'm still in North Carolina, staying the night with T. Stone's relatives. Kevin and Teresa are having a wedding shower tomorrow and the rest of the band has time off, so we're just chillin' in her hometown for a few days, then we're off to West Virginia for two concerts on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Her aunt and uncle have two chihuahua's that are super cute-Cocoa and Dusty. Apparently, they were named for the color of their fur. Awwww...I wish I had a camera, then I could take pictures of them and show you!
Tour was great this last week. One name in particular comes to mind when I think of our concerts-Philip. He was a student at one of our shows that indicated an interest in talking to someone about how to have a personal relationship with God. I'm always amazed to hear how God had moved in someone's life to bring them to that point as a result of our concert. Pray for him!
Well, Ernesto came blowing through and we had to cancel our last show that was supposed to happen last night at St. Andrews College in Laurinburg. We also had to wait out this morning until the storm passed through Rocky Mount so we could drive up here! Man...what a storm.
The power was actually went out for 20 minutes last night right around the time I was about to go to bed. And in the morning, our host, Jim, told us there were a few trees knocked down as a result of the storm. Jim actually had a pool in his backyard that Kevin, Corbitt, and I had been swimming in each night after our concerts. Last night Kevin and Corbitt thought it was too cold to go swimming, but I thought different.
Man, it was freezing! I actually tried to swim while there were gusts of wind and cold rain coming down. It was alright for a little bit, but then after about 10 minutes, it started to get to me.
We're safe here now and Ernesto is on it's way up the coast and hopefully will be over and out within the next few days. There has been some major flooding in other areas of the state and in other states further north though. I hope people are safe now and didn't suffer too much damage from the storm.
I'm looking forward to not doing much tomorrow but just hanging out and catching up on some sleep. It'll be nice to just be still in one place and do some reading and reflection time. Life on the road often doesn't naturally lend itself to much of that. Have a great weekend.
