MTWR Week "hi there" from AnnD
Quick Links


Greetings from Middle Tennessee, fANNtastics!!!
 
I'm loving this week!!  MTWR week...most glorious weekend of my year, ya know!  I can't figure why in the world anybody would want to miss MTWR....wayellll, I can kinda figure out why some of you would probably be a little more comfortable in missing it in that it's a women's retreat :).  However, I'm really excited..and to be honest with you, awfully grateful and humbled that I'm a part of this great ministry! 

 
This weekend in Georgia

... was just about the best...there I go, I know, they're all the best :). 
 
Many thanks to Mildred and all the wonderful ladies at Westside Baptist in Newnan, GA for working so hard to make the "I'm A Survivor" women's event Saturday something special.  Then last night I was delighted to be with some neat folks at Grandview Church of God in Chattanooga.  I never take these blessed opportunities for granted, I really don't. 
 
Also, I need to thank the "AnnD keeper of the weekend", actually two of 'em, I guess :)....Willo and AnnieB.  And, fANNtastics Charlie and Linda dropping by Saturday was adding icing on the cake (they'll be doing allll the duties associated with sound at MTWR). 
 
I know y'all won't be mad at me for not going on and on and on here in this note, meaning that I've just gotta get into bed.  This isn't just MTWR week...I have the privilege of speaking and singing at a wonderful women's conference in Lincoln, IL on Wednesday, leaving tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday) to get back late, late Wednesday night, to get a few hours sleep to then pack and leave for the Sheraton Music City Hotel for MTWR on Thursday.  Would you please pray, pray, pray for Alice and me as we drive up to Lincoln and back? 
Downing Renaissance Series - 1973

I'm hoping to have the Downing cd set this week...ya think I could get some fANNtastics to do some packing up for me this weekend?  Gotta get 'em out to y'all...whoa, just thought of it...when is the deadline for getting free shipping on this set???  Is it Wednesday night at midnight?  Oh well, there's plenty of time left to get your order in :)...here's the link:  
Be Looking for some
blogging going on from MTWR...Willo has already told me how she planned to sneak my cell phone out of my purse and do some roving reporting, soooo no telling what will show up on that blog page...lordy lordy!!
 
Have a glorious week..is it not just the most comforting and encouraging news ever to remember that our Abba Father is crazy about us??  And how glorious to remember that we don't have to "work out fingers to the bone" to get Him to love us...HE IS LOVE.  We are His...He has never, and will never forsake His own!  Praise God. 
 
Blessings and joy to you...by the way, welcome to all  you new fANNs.  I'd sure like to hear from you new fANNtastic friends so I can be sure you're now getting the newsletter, ok?
 
See y'alllll,

fANNtastic Testimonial
It is being a member of a community that has interests as wide and varied as..snowflakes, and on the other side of the coin, the members of that community endeavor to draw you to the One who has made us all and who guides us, if we let Him. There are people from the chat room who, for instance, have become quick friends and call each other or even get to visit each other-on their own-outside of the ADM realm. This is building relationships, which God has intended for all of us to do. If we can be drawn to each other as friends, then it is very possible to be drawn closer to the Lord, who is our best friend. At this point in time, I am unable to access the chat room, yet I feel as if I miss very little due to a couple of fANNs who talk with me on IM during the time chat is going on. I don't feel like I am missing a thing. This alone shows the importance of relationships and encouragement. Thank you for making this possible. May Jo
