I’m writing to you from the front lounge of the tour bus. It smells like leftover pizza. Amber corn fields zipping past outside and Young Guns 2 playing on the television with the sound down.
We just finished up four days of shows in the Midwest with Anita and Mark.
Paducah, Kentucky.
O’Fallon, Illinois.
St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Fairmont, Minnesota.
Giant tricycles.
And 232 kids sponsored by the kind of folks of the Midwest.
And now? A sixteen hour drive home to Nashville, a few days off, and then we’re heading out again. This time we’re coming to Zanesville, Ohio and Marietta, Georgia.
I’m trying to upload some video from this week’s concerts but the hamster running the internet on this bus is a little slow. (I’m getting internet access on a moving bus? We live in the future, folks.) Check back later for a clip of “Enough” shot in O’Fallon, Minnesota.
Here’s a clip of “Enough” shot in O’Fallon, Minnesota. That’s Micah on the banjo and snare drum.
Mary Ostyn (Owlhaven) says:
Love this song and esp the banjo. My 14yo son just bought his second guitar (an electric this time) and declared that his next purchase will be a banjo.
Mary, momma to many
Shaun Groves says:
If you guys are ever in Nashville, he needs to come over and play!
Teena says:
Shaun, Hope to see/meet you in Marietta. Trying to work out the details to get there with my daughter….
Love this song…
So excited.
Shaun Groves says:
I’ll be at the Pappasitos most of the day. So if you can’t make it to the show you cold always stop by there and have some fajitas on me ; )
Windy says:
Well I was trying to figure out where to go for dinner before the show. I have heard so much about Pappasitos over the years that we might have to try it, too.
Andy and Miranda -- Compassion Calling says:
Love your posts, the vids, this song/your entire CD, and the number of Compassion children sponsored on the tour thus far! Praying for your time back at home for a few days and the remainder of the tour, and wishing you were stopping by in West MI!
Kris says:
That is my favorite song off of that album. ๐ thanks for Shari this! Enjoy your down time, no doubt you’re in need of some good family time ๐ and woohoo, for 232 kids sponsored!!! That’s fantastic, praise The Lord!
Matthew (FzxGkJssFrk) says:
Shaun, to answer your title question in an ever-so-slightly off-topic way…
Yes.
We sponsored our first Compassion child yesterday.
It’s a start, anyhow.
Shaun Groves says:
Awesome! How many years was this decision in the making? ; )
Matthew (FzxGkJssFrk) says:
Heh – about as many as it took to save up to buy our first house.
Yvonne says:
Yay for 232 sponsored kids! We had 6 sponsored last night in Modesto, CA at the For King and Country concert! ๐
Melissa Jones says:
Had to watch the clip to see how someone could play banjo _and_ snare (my assumption being that both were played at the same time). It all makes much more sense now!
But I’m curious. If Micah’s playing on stage with you at your shows now, who runs your sound? I mean, right now you’ve got the tour’s sound person/people, but normally it’s just the two of you someplace.
Tiffany says:
232 kids!! Makes my heart so happy. I love watching the kingdom work happening through your ministry. Loved the photos and videos too. Jesus is near. ๐
