Nannie's Trip to the Cove

I attended a Praise and Worship Conference at the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove in Asheville, NC this past week with Christy (Lane, Carley and Karcen's mommy). The view below is from the "back porch" of the training center! It was a glorius 3 days learning about worship and practical tips to implement at our church. The praise time alone was worth the trip!

Any of you who know me well, know that I love Tommy Walker's music. We met him in the spring at the praise and worship conference, and I truly believe that the Lord had a plan for us to cross paths. His music is WONDERFUL and speaks to my heart! We have already learned a few songs of his, but are working on more. He is a truly gifted musician and songwriter with such an evident love for the Lord. We orchestrated a picture with him, he probably thinks I am a crazy stalker, but he does at least know he has a fan on the east coast (he lives in CA). Visit his site at www.tommywalker.net to see what he's all about!!!

Here is Tommy and a man named Dennis Agajanian, who has the fastest fingers on a guitar that I have EVER seen. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing these guys play! Very talented musicians!

This picture was taken the last night of our conference. Tommy led the last part of the worship time with Tommy Coomes and part of his band. I could have stayed there and listened all night. We got a couple of cds signed and headed home, but it was a wonderful experience and I thank God for a refreshing few days and a renewal of my spirit for helping to lead praise music!
