Cowboy Randy

Last night our family, with my parents in tow, attended a benefit Dessert Theatre and Silent Auction for our Mission to Mexico (M2M). The reason I went was to "officially" finally hear Randall McLeod (aka Cowboy Randy) sing on stage the many amazing songs I had heard him sing during rehearsals before church.

Eric has been working with him and his band In the Beginning as their hmm... I don't know his official role, but he does all of their video presentations which play in the background behind Randy and the band. He loves working with them and we have so much fun singing and fooling around with images and ideas for his presentations. They always rehearse for Sunday school (yes there is a separate band for the services and for Sunday school) so we are at church 1 1/2 hours before church on the days Eric helps (usually two Sundays a month) because of the other programs going on.

But back to last night. A folk singer, a hip hop dance and a drama of a modern day Good Samaritan were also presented which rounded out the evening perfectly. We also came away with much more than that, literally. We brought home several of the great things up for auction. Eric has an 18-hole golf pass at a local golf course for Father's Day and I "won" tickets for the Russ Lee concert in two weeks for Eric and Ryan. I knew I was holding off in purchasing them for a reason, now I know what that reason was. My parents purchased several things and MC thanked them personally for coming which brought a huge laugh from the crowd. The evening exceeded my expectations and I encourage everyone to listen to the voice talents of Cowboy Randy!

Oh, did I mention he is also the chiropractor who I will be working alongside with our new Immanuel Prenatal & Parenting Ministry I blogged about earlier? We will all be working together as a part of Immanuel's Healing Centre. More on that in an upcoming blog.
