Hello Krew,

I am sitting here looking at the sunshine. It's a nice 60's degrees and nothing like what we had last week. This past weekend, I was in Snow and Ice. I sang in Huntington WV on Sunday morning at the Christ Temple. In the night Saturday night, they had about 4 inches of snow but the snow didn't hamper the Holy Spirit from working in the two services there. At the end of the second service, the altar filled up as Pastor Chuck Lawrence gave the invitation. I have received so many great emails from the services there. It was great to see Bob and Diana Gillette, and Tammy Underwood, from the Perry Sisters. And of course John and Shirley Rowsey. John's a great writer.....we have a new song that we have co-written that will be included on the next project.

Sunday afternoon, I headed down interstate 77 thru Beckley WV. The snow was still blowing and the interstate was covered in snow and ice, but I just kept crawling through and made it down to Interstate 81 where the roads were clear. I sang Sunday night in Chilhowie Virginia at the Chilhowie Christian Church. The crowd was down in number because of the snow there but still there was a good group to sing to and we had a great time. It was great seeing Pastor Frank and Mary Lynn Branson and Alan Counts.

I hope everyone that's cruising with me next week to Cozymel and Grand Caymen are ready! I haven't even started to pack. I will pack the night before I leave! I look forward to seeing everyone at the port! I can't believe it's here already! Where do you want to go next year?

LAST MINUTE CRUISE CANCELLATION: We just had a krewser cancel due to his job and he has kindly offered the ticket to someone else. So if you know of a male who would like to spend 5 fun days with us he can go for a really, really low change fee. He will have a roommate (male of course) and he will be able to participate in all our activities -concerts, meals, etc. If there is someone who wants to go Email me right away at kirktalley@aol.com

Hey, I just got word of a venue change for the April 21st concert. The concert will now be held at Carter High School, which is just about a mile away from the original concert location. Closer to that date, I will send directions. If you haven't called Dot with your reservation for the Spring Fling weekend, you should call immediately. It's filling up.

MEAL OF THE WEEK--St Louis Ribs, fried Corn on the Cob, Baked Beans ( with real pork) and Caramel Apple Pie! at the Pig Palace in Sevierville, Tenn.

Thanks for all your support and prayers. Today, sitting at my desk, I picked up the devotional book, A year in the now. I began to read today's devotional. If you don't have this book, it's an incredible inspiration to me and I know it would be to you. Today's devotion was wonderful. How Thankful I am for the possibilities presented, the blessings bestowed, the lessons learned, obstacles overcome, the relationships remaining, the day by day direction and most of all, the Grace of God. Today I will walk in the fullness of that Grace and today I will live in the now.

I hope to see you all somewhere soon.

Kirk
