The event was a Baptist Associational Men’s Rally. \u00a0This years event was hosted by one of the many rural churches in the association. \u00a0Wonderful people there and I have been with a few of the churches over the years. \u00a0Well, I was familiar with the community of Zama, MS, \u00a0because of a friend I had in college from the community. \u00a0Good directions got me there but in route and on my second dirt road, I told Patty that if I heard banjo music I was turning around. \u00a0(A little Burt Reynolds humor there).<\/p>\n
There were 3 men there when I arrived 2 hours early and as host church members they readily volunteered to help me move things in. \u00a0I set up while talking and then, as I glanced up I began chuckling just a bit. \u00a0In walks a man and his son, carrying a guitar, mandolin and yes, a banjo. \u00a0It seems they were asked to sing and play as part of the program by someone other than the program chairman. \u00a0Although unexpected, it was no problem as I made room and helped them get ready. \u00a0Everything worked out fine and it was a good night with 80 men from 10 different churches.<\/p>\n
I used two different ventriloquism sets, played my horn and sung then challenged the men to be a man that counts for The Lord out of 2Timothy 4. \u00a0The men were very gracious and it was a joy and privilege to be part of this annual event!<\/p>\n
