I woke up this morning in the parking lot of Manley Baptist Church in Morristown, Tennessee. On a tour bus in the parking lot of Manley Baptist Church.
Outside a few snow flakes drifted through the air. The grass crunched beneath my feet.
The church sign announced the arrival of Travis Cottrell, Cindy Morgan and some guy named Shaun Grove while cars buzzed past and on through the busy intersection.
Good morning, Morristow. I love you too.

No live broadcast from the concert tonight. No Wi-Fi in the church.

Shaun GROVE?!?! his music is AWESOME. Its so crazy that you 2 have such similar names.
An HE-MAN Church – awesome! I wanna go there. Nice that there are still places you can worship in a hunting jacket and not have to sing fa-la-la songs while waving streamers.
(My apologies if you had any fa-la-la songs on the playlist.)
And it’s not like they ran out of space either. You have the shortest name of them all. Ahhh… giving grief to the guy who generates marquee graphics… erm text. Good game.
I bet they knew if they messed up your name you’d blog about it and they really just wanted to see what you’d say about ‘em on here. It was all part of their plan, no doubt!
hahaha, I’m sorry my church messed up your last name. I never even noticed it.
But regardless of whether Shaun Grove or Shaun Groves was performing, it was still awesome!
It was great to have you there last night.
Yep…was hoping you didn’t notice that.
Sorry SCC. We’ll get it right next time around.
So sorry! We know for sure now who you are and I won’t forget. I LOVED what you shared with us. I never knew the details of what you shared about Caesar Augustus and wish I could have heard more clearly from the stage. I think I missed some good details!
Thanks for coming!
We thank you and your worship team so much for the pleasure of ringing in the season of hope with you, Cindy and Travis.
Got to snag “Your Kingdom Come” off of YouTube. I really can’t explain how I felt when you started singing it (emotionally and spiritually gripping), but I had a very hard time getting through worship yesterday without sitting down and playing it for our congregation. Please release it for us soon.
Blessings,
Kevin Cook, Manley of Morristow
Kevin, it’s released. Just go to http://www.shaungroves.com/freemusic or click the “ad” over on the right side of this page.
Thanks, Kevin.
I just slapped myself in the head so you didn’t have to. At least I didn’t tell you “I was starving…” thanks, Shaun!
Mr. Grove. Really. What did you expect? You come to Tennessee, and we spell your name wrong. Did you really expect anything less?
Thanks again for sharing your gift with us at Manley, and for also sharing your Compassion testimony! Be encouraged that your family’s testimony to their daily life choices is changing people’s hearts, so don’t grow weary in doing good for our Lord!
Thanks again.
So blessed by you and the Gloria tour elves being in Morristow! The worship brought us before the throne.
I have a friend whose maiden name was Manley. Being that this friend is a woman, I think she was really looking forward to getting married.
