Unfortunately, I was not able to make it to the Send North America Conference in Nashville this week. I missed a great meeting.
My friend, Carlos Kelly, is the new Pastor of the Beulahland Baptist Church in Macon, Georgia. He succeeded Dr. Maurice Watson. It was a joy to this week how the Lord continues to bless this congregation.

CD OF THE WEEK: I love Gospel Music. I am also a big critic, because too much Gospel Music is music but not gospel (Click here and here and here). But there are wonderful exceptions. I will periodically recommend CDs or songs here in my Saturday Shout-Outs. First up… I am really enjoying Simply Amazing by Dr. F. James Clark and the Shalom Church (City of Peace) Mass Choir.
