God loves families’.  That’s what we kept hearing at the two churches we played at last Sunday.  And yes, God does.  As we have traveled the country we have had the privilege of meeting many different families, like the Richardson’s-with 25 kids- that we met in Branson MO (you can read about them in our earlier blog "The Gathering"),  Family Bands like the Link family, the Harpers, the Greer family (aka "Lindley Creek"), and the Zahasky’s (aka "The Alaska String Band")   and other wonderful families we’ve met along the way.  It’s wonderful to see the love that they have for one another and also for the Lord.  A close family is truly a blessing.  I’m grateful to be able to travel with my family, doing what we love.
