This was the third time we heard The Collingsworth Family; a year ago at Morningside and about 6 months ago at the Lighthouse.
Let me say, as I have before, this is the friendliness church we have ever been in. There were greeters outside in the parking lot, in the vestibule, and again inside the sanctuary. As we sat there (we are always early to make sure we get the ‘right’ seat) church members went up and down the aisles shaking hands. Several people offered Heather a piece of candy or a lollipop. Heather enjoys the attention more that the candy. We always feel very welcome. The Pastor, Brother Wayne Robertson remembers us always and makes it a point to come over and say hello. He even remembers we’re from Tallahassee.
Dorman Thomas, from my home church came with us.
I also had a surprise guest show up. I invite her anytime we’re within an hour of Valdosta. After 11 years, she showed up. I was thrilled to spend a couple of hours siting there with Donna, a past girlfriend.
The Collingsworth Family was outstanding. The harmony was great. They bring a grand piano with them in a trailer they tow behind the bus to all performances. One of these days I’m going to watch them get it up on the stage.
Then, we introduced Dorman to Slap Daddy’s for dinner where we always eat when we’re in Valdosta. The have great hamburgers and fantastic onion rings.
