TREE IN LONE STAR CEMETERY
Many had not seen the tree which had been so mightily struck by lightning a few months ago. With the mess of exploded limbs cleaned up, only these two spikes still stand, casting a thin shadow on what used to be a shady corner of the cemetery.

Hosea Bilyeu Family Concert

Betty Sackett & Bonnie Bilyeu

Hosea with granddaughters Ella and Ally

Rick and I attended the 24th annual concert tonight at Remington's. This was the third and final presentation and the building was full. Although Hosea had been fighting a cold all weekend, it appeared that he still had a double portion of energy and enthusiasm for the Gospel which he proclaimed.
There was a good representation of family there, including all of his siblings, Aunt Betty Sackett and Aunt Bonnie Bilyeu.

LITTLE HOSEA & BIG SMITH IN CONCERT

HOSEA BILYEU & BIG SMITH IN CONCERT
RIDGECREST BAPTIST CHURCH, SPRINGFIELD, MO
JUNE 12, 7:00 p.m.

Here is the flyer on Hosea's CD release concert on June 12, 7:00 p.m. There is no admission charge, but a love offering will be taken. The love offering will go to help with the expenses of a 2009 mission trip to Zambia.

This concert and CD is a little different than others we have been to as Hosea has written all of the songs. It is definitely a concert not to miss!
