Yes, that's a pumpkin. It was carved outside the Education Building at the Puyallup Fair. Friday evening I joined Chuck Worthy, Eva Sabiniano and Lyte House on the Education Stage at the Puyallup Fair.

Lyte House was up first to give and deliver his message Face to Face. Face to Face is a powerful song and more than well written about Christ's sacrifice on the Cross. The song convicts you and makes you think twice about God's Love. I know that to be true first hand because a vendor at the other end of the hall came down to complain to me about how loud the music was. I turned the system down a bit but I don't really think it was too loud. I think she didn't want to hear that she is, as we all are, sinful and need Christ in our lives. I've seen her look over the years from many people and it was Lyte House's song that spoke to her heart about Christ's blood on the Cross and his Redeeming power. In addition I noticed his parents attended and that makes my heart glad to see such support from a Christian Rap Artist's family.

Next up was yours truly and I had fun. Lately, at more secular venues, I've been starting off with Neil Diamond's "America". I've been told forever that I sound like Neil so by singing "America" it tends to draw passers by who will see my wife taking pictures and say, "Does he know he sounds like Neil Diamond?" By the time I ending my set the Puyallup Valley Community Band members were beginning to enter the stand area because they were up next after the Worthy Music Ministries Showcase. Many of them, that I noticed, were my age or older so it did my heart good that they could hear "I'm Not Dead Yet". I got a lot of thumbs up and smiles from many of them so I felt I ministered to who Christ intended me to minister to that night.

Chuck Worthy was manning the sound board as I sang but he was up next. So it was a privilege to be able to introduce him to the stage. Usually he introduces everyone else but no one introduces him so I'm pleased I could.

Eva Sabiniano closed the evening for the Worthy Music Ministries' Showcase and with time remaining we got to hear a few more songs than she scheduled. My favorite song by Eva is "Jump for Jesus". It's a wonderful fun song that tells the listener if you love Jesus,..jump. Personally, I can't help but jump when I hear the song. Eva is a local Christian artist but she is also International and is performing in Germany, the Bahamas, Hongkong, Philippines and Indonesia. You go girl and tell the world about Jesus.

Worthy Music Ministries' Showcase @ the Tacoma Rescue Mission
Saturday night was the Tacoma Rescue Mission and one of my favorite places to play.
This wallpaper picture tells of a time in Tacoma when times were tough, jobs were few and dignity was hard to come by when all you had was the Tacoma Rescue Mission. But it was there then and it's still there today.
This is the view from the stage before food is served and I wish it didn't have to even one person in it but especially in these times it fills up quick.
The faces change and so does the style of clothing but the need is the same.
Faithful to the cause and mission of bringing Christian music to the Puget Sound area Chuck Worthy once again mans the sound system so G-Write and myself can minister in song. Worthy Music Ministries could choose to book only big events and stages but they don't just book those. They see everyone at the Tacoma Rescue Mission as being just as important and needing to hear the Gospel of Christ as someone buying a ticket.
If I look happy it's because I really am happy to be there.
Next up was the man G-Write himself. I recently watched an old video of him dancing and I must say he had the moves. He still likes to move on stage and is always fun to watch.
It's hard to get a picture of him in focus because he's always moving. I finally got a video of G-Write and my favorite song he does called "I never knew ya". The song talks about him growing up without a father and ties it in with knowing or not knowing God.
