80 Years of Celebration in One Night!



We celebrated our 80th year of our high school band last night during Homecoming. It was so much fun seeing so many band people, who span the decades of our existence.

It was surreal standing on the field, with my friends (and one was the Drum Major our Senior year!)...with my SON leading the band! I really tried to soak it all in.

We missed so many of our friends--especially the ones we know are still living in the area. But, I am thankful for the ones that did come.

It was a nice break after a very difficult week! Yay, Band!

Us talking with Mr. Goodson

(Kevin & Joey had not been back in the cafeteria or the high school since we left----many years ago---they were having a lot of fun memories of us all eating lunch together. Joey even remembered that I always took my lunch, never bought. LOL)

  2. Lifting up prayer!
    Psalms 121:6-8 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

  3. These verses contain the reason why we have the hope of life to come. Know that I'm here praying so hard!
    Ephesians 1:17-20 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places...

  4. Am so blessed to be able to pray for you!
    Psalms 31:14-16 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

  5. Lifting up prayers right now!
    Psalms 118:4-6 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

  6. We have such amazing eyewitness testimony of Jesus! No matter what happens, in Him you can still have joy! Praying!
    1 John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
