We toured the town, took a road trip to Mississippi and rented wave runners in Biloxi. We ate the fine and fatty foods of New Orleans and took in the scene on Bourbon Street. We met up with our friends the Bachmans and they toured us around their city. I also reconnected with April who I knew when she was in high school and I worked at Wooddale.<br \/>\nTo sum it up, we had a great time and it was the best being with my boys.<br \/>\nWe are back in the saddle of our steel horse and our first two shows of the third leg went great. The first show was in New Orleans at Sojourn Community &#8211; they were fabulous hosts. The show had good energy and the space was terrific. The space was reminiscent of the first space we had for Solomon&#8217;s Porch &#8211; upper floor of an old building, exposed brick and a loft feel. The folks of Sojourn we great hosts.<br \/>\nSaturday&#8217;s show was in Birmingham, Alabama. It was one of the best shows yet. The good people of Disciples Fellowship and Journey Church hosted us. We were in the Disciples building which is set-up somewhat like a theater, so it work well for the show with the lighting and all.<br \/>\nBoth shows were well received by the audiences and seemed to be an encouragement to all involved. I remain amazed at how gracious people are in hosting us and how much good comes from the face to face engagements around the show.<br \/>\nIf you have a chance to come and join us here is our remaining schedule.
