I'M POUTING!!! (no that wasn't shouting...just trying to show you how far my bottom lip is out). Everyone is talking about the CD and dadgum it, mine hasn't come yet!!!! I've gotten a couple of emails explaining the delay, but if patience is a virtue...well, I'm losing my virtue!!! I've been waiting F-O-R-E-V-E-R!<BR/><BR/>As for shopping...getting it done slowly but surely and even had a wii victory the other day - yes, wii, not wee! Decorating done. <BR/><BR/>Big Christmas program is next week. Rehearsal every night, performances next Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I would much rather be at your rehearsal than ours, Trav! And for the record, no, I don't sing. I would never do that to the general public. I don't even do that to myself except when the music is really loud and I sound just like whoever is on the CD. I'm just a wing flapper -that's code for an angel - shhhh...that well, sort of dances (yikes!)...we just don't say that out loud because some of the older members of our conservative Baptist church might not survive it.<BR/><BR/>I do so wish you were coming a little closer to my part of Texas! I've been praying for you tonight with the big kick off! As a Compassion supporter, I'm praying for big things to happen! <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you!

Over the past few years, i haven't bought a ingle one b/c none of the offerings tempted me. This past summer, however, at a Living Proof Event, I heard the wonderful news-- you would be releasing a Christmas album come autumn... immediately I knew which album I'd be acquiring this holiday season :o)<BR/><BR/>Ring the Bells is, w/o a doubt, the best Christmas album I've listened to in a very long time, if ever, quite actually. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us and for serving our Lord so sacrificially... you have been a blessing to me on countless occasions, and for that, i thank you~<BR/><BR/>Oh, and no Josh Groban comparisons here. No, instead... just this morning my 7 yo son said, "Mom, he sounds like the Phantom of the Opera."<BR/>That's a mighty big compliment in our home :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376109044196891159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222347481499259925.post-36181886169049969572008-12-04T12:25:00.000-06:002008-12-04T12:25:00.000-06:00Travis,I received you Christmas CD as an early Chr...Travis,<BR/>I received you Christmas CD as an early Christmas gift - a perfect pick-me-up on a day I was suffering with the stomach flu. But I wanted to say thanks for the first song, it totally reminded me of the church I grew up in - a Catholic almost-cathedral with the organ, trumpet, and kettle drums on Christmas and Easter. I would always want to stand and listen instead of file out with everyone else. Incredible. Your "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" brought me right back, and I haven't been back there in over 10 years. Thank you so much! Your gifts are a blessing to so many of us Travis. Thank you for sharing them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222347481499259925.post-3682078224136827112008-12-04T08:47:00.000-06:002008-12-04T08:47:00.000-06:00You are coming to our church Saturday and we are a...You are coming to our church Saturday and we are all soooooooo excited!

I've listened to it all weekend while sewing Chrstmas dresses for my two little girls. Beyond spectacular!! What a fabulous Christmas album! <BR/><BR/>And "Jesus Saves"? Quite possibly the BEST song put on a Christmas album EVER! I'm on the worship team at church and we WILL be doing that song sometime, hopefully soon! Talk about bringing a word! And your versions of "O Holy Night" and "O Come Emmanuel" - also fabulous! I'm preparing the songsheet for a carol sing at our ladies Christmas tea and I put in the last verse of O Come that you used because it's not so well known and very powerful, so thanks for that!<BR/><BR/> Thanks so much for doing what you do and bringing such glory to our amazing God!

When I asked her why she said, "Because it starts so small and then get's so strong. Just like Jesus started as a tiny little baby and then grew up so big." Who would have guessed my 8 year old would be so profound? <BR/><BR/>Needless to say we are thoroughly enjoying your CD. And...my husband also compared you to Josh Groban.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>KimberlyGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142110363464905754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222347481499259925.post-74127139008486138432008-12-03T15:13:00.000-06:002008-12-03T15:13:00.000-06:00I was just thinking about you today, because, as m...I was just thinking about you today, because, as my girls were arriving for bible study this morning, I had "Ring the Bells" playing.
