A Great End To October

It was a great week to end the month of October. Saturday had me performing at a church for their annual Usher's Banquet. I would say that had around 80 people there with the ushers and families. We had a great steak meal outside and then I did about a 20 minute set. I played some of the great convention-style songs of the past. I finished with the most unique song I've written called "The Ushers." I plan to record it and put it up on the Maack Ministries website in the next few months. The pastor of the church then spoke and gave a great message on how the usher's job is so important and is really the first impression visitors have of a church. Let me tell you, of all the churches that I've been at in my life, this church probably has the best in what they do! Thank you for inviting me.

Saturday night my family traveled over to Chandler to celebrate my cousin's birthday. I won't tell you how old she is but I can tell you that she's four years older than me. The 12 of us had a great meal (steak again) and a great time together.

Sunday I had the priveledge of hearing my church's pastor speak in the morning and then got to hear a famous pastor and one of my favorites speak in the evening. It was a great night of celebration and I know everyone that was there was blessed.

Tuesday, I went to the "Get Motivated" seminar in Phoenix. It is the country's largest motivational seminar and it was in our arena downtown. The place was packed out and the speakers were great! Just to name of a few of them were Zig Ziglar, Michael Eisner, Suzy Orman, and General Colin Powell. I recommend this to seminar to everyone. Our host for the day was a pastor and speaker. I point that out because half way through the day, he spoke about leadership. He ended his talk by presenting the gospel of Jesus to everyone in attendance and gave an invitation. I know that some got saved on Tuesday!

What a great way to end out October and move into the month of November. I hope that you are receiving blessings from the Lord. Sometimes it may seem kind of difficult to find them in the trials of each day, but I garentee that they are there for you. Live life for the glory of the Lord!
