Last night at about 10:00 p.m. Terra called she is going to be an intern this summer and next semester for John E. Coates. He is the Director of the Nashville Choir. Anyway yesterday was her first event to work for him. They were performing at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. It is a hymn sing with several local choirs. They invite guest artists to perform and sing the verses of the hymns and then the choirs and audiences sing verses. So Terra had the privilege of showing the Guests artist around. They included Melinda Doolittle, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Travis Cottrel, and Bill Gaither. Needless to say it was a very exciting day and there were many interesting stories.
As a parent it was very humbling because you pray and pray and pray for your children. Then all of a sudden you see them becoming adults ( and sometimes it is a very bumpy road getting there) then they make decisions or do something that makes you think WHY DO I WORRY! GOD IS SO IN CONTROL!!!

Travis will be going to take a test in Dallas tomorrow to see if he can qualify for linguist school with the Air Force. He still hasn't heard when he leaves for basic yet it will probably be sometime in August or September. He is very anxious to go. I am really praying he get into linguist school. He would be in California for 2 years if he gets in. That would put Iraq off for two more years!. Travis is on the left in the above picture. Please pray for Travis!!!
