Hi there fANNtastic
friends,
Tennessee
Greetings from Ann D
Snowing here in Middle Tennessee
today...oh, just blowing here and there, but it is white stuff falling from the
sky :). So, how are y'all today?
I'm doing pretty good...home for one
day, then headed to Oklahoma. Would you check out my schedule and try to let me see
you??? :).
Karissa and I enjoyed a good SW Virginia
and E Tennessee weekend...gettin' home in the rain last night about 10
p.m....wait, it stopped 2 hrs. out :). (thank you, Lord, for a 5 p.m. concert
:) ). Thank yous from the bottom of my heart to Pastor Chris Stansell and good
church folks in Max Meadows, VA (St. Paul Pentecostal Holiness Church) for a
sweet Sunday morning...praise God for a precious young lady coming back to the
Lord after being away soooo long. Then Sunday night I enjoyed being with good
friends, Dean and Judy Brewster, at Ashway Pentecostal Church in Greeneville,
TN. I've been there several times....thank you again, dear friends. I also
enjoyed driving us through one of the neighborhoods that was developed by Jimmy
and Lavern, my brother-in-law and sister when they were in business in
Greeneville for years and years under the name of Houses of
Distinction....gorgeous places...and Vern and Jimmy, they still look beautiful!!

MTWR
Brochures
I'm excited that MTWR brochures are
in the mail...do you have yours yet? If not, they should be there in the near
bye and bye!! Please keep April 16-18 on your calendar to join us here in
Nashville for the event of the year. And would you be praying for the retreat?
I am sincerely asking for prayer...we need God's power holding up our arms as we
plan and get ready. Oh, by the way, it was just brought to my attention that
the hotel cost was omitted from the brochure, ARGHHHHHHH..that's AnnD's fault.
Cost is $99 per night for one, two, three or four to a room, same as last year.
You can get info at www.anndowning.com on MTWR...and read about the origin of
the retreat.

Heart
Break of Haiti
I'm sure your heart breaks over and over for the people of
Haiti. It's really hard for me to wrap my head around such tragedy. The
stories of people being pulled out of the rubble alive after days and days of no
food, no water, remind me (and I'm sure it does you, too) that there is a much
bigger world in God's world than we can ever hope to understand. I'm just
praising His Name for preserving life and giving the only peace that can work in
such hard times that words can't begin to define.
Before I leave you...be thankful with me for Kelly Nelon Clark
being ok, other than shaken, of course, after being robbed in a parking lot last
week. God was with her...and she's giving the Lord praise and thanks, too.

My
Homecoming Memories
Let me run something by you...one of the
fav CDs that I've done (according to quite a few folks) is the Homecoming
Memories CD. When we had to do a reorder on this CD, we had to get a rather
large quantity in order to save on our cost per CD...to be a decent steward of
the ministry's funds. This CD contains some of my favs that you've enjoyed from
the Gaither Homecoming videos....often referred to as the "pink CD" because of
the pink dress I'm wearing lol. I call it the Pepto-Bismol CD...it's that color
of pink :). At any rate, when I was beginning to prepare the inventory for tax
reporting purposes, I noticed a whole huge huge huge box of "Homecoming
Memories" CD that somehow had been hidden away :). Would you want one of
those? I guess quite a few of you have that CD, but if you don't, you don't
even have to go to Ann's Store to purchase one...just send a check for $5 and
that'll cover shipping costs that we normally charge of $4.50. You'll help me
with inventory, space, and hopefully be able to sing along with some great
"Homecoming" songs. Even if you have the CD, why not, for $5, get a couple for
nursing homes, friends who might wanna sing along, too :), or whoever? And for
heaven's sake, you don't have to tell them you got the CD for pennies LOL LOL
LOL.
All kidding aside, thank you for helping
with this...and hopefully you might get a minute or two of enjoyment, too. You
just send your check or money order to me at Box 767, Hendersonville, TN 37077.
If you prefer to use the store for charging on your credit or debit card, you
can do that, too. (Click here) Your shipping costs
will be deducted manually before you're charged. Shar is listing the songs over
on the side or below these ramblings or above them or somewhere here LOL LOL.

Many blessings of love and joy to you
this week, dear friend...welcome welcome welcome to all of you new fanntastics
who I'm just tickled to death to have here in this little world. Be sure to
join us in the chatroom (www.anndowning.com) around 9 p.m., central, each night
for prayer..of course you can come in earlier to visit with whoever is there,
too :).
Gotta find supper and get that suitcase
packed. Wait, it's packed...oops, that was from last weekend lol. Sure look
forward to hearing from you, seeing you, being thankful with you to be children
of our Abba Father. Even on the worst days, our lives are manageable because
He's already done the work for us...our part is to keep trusting Him. "All is
well, all is well, I must walk by faith not sight, all is well...when His glory
I can't feel, I will trust that God is real, all is well, all is
well".
