Dennis Agajanian in Helena, Montana

Our family was given a couple of group passes to a Dennis Agajanian concert. We have a couple of albums from him, and took the opportunity to see him in concert.

What a concert it was.  He was sponsored by our local “Optimist Club“, and the concert was held at a school auditorium in Helena.

Dennis could pick the guitar faster than I could think.  He did the Hallelujah Chorus on the guitar!  It was fantastic.

Dennis seemed like an ordinary guy, and when the sound system went kaput for a bit, he didn’t skip a beat.  He moved off the stage and came down and sat on the steps to it and continued playing.  It was awesome.  When a guitar string broke in the middle of a selection, he swooshed it out of the way and, again,  never missed a beat.

He certainly loves the Lord, and told us plainly what the Lord means to him.  He was not intimidated or bashful about it.  Click the picture to see a larger view, and visit Dennis’ web site HERE and see all he has done, and purchase a CD.

The concert was excellent!

We spent most of Christmas Day in the house watching the snow fall and enjoying our gifts that we received.  The kids took the opportunity to sled down the hill for a bit, but other than that, the snow just kept coming and coming.

Today, we spent a portion of the day digging out.  The plow on the truck was acting flaky so I took out a test meter and found that a solinoid was not working correctly.  I happened to have a spare, thank you Lord, so in no time, I replaced it and the plow worked better than it has in a long time.  That is a good thing because it really got to work today.

The sun is doing it’s best to keep shining.  It is a very beautiful day.  Click a picture to see our wintery neighborhood.

Last Sunday, Neighborhood Assembly of God had it’s Christmas Program. All of the children were delightful.  There was a lot of music and worship.  The service ended with the “Praise Team” singing a very humorous but thoughtful song with the aide of hand puppets.  Ha!

Well, it finally happened in Montana.  One person alone, in the entire state, decided to legalize doctor assisted suicide.  One person alone, again, upset the balance of government.  God help this state!  God help this nation!

Judge rules in favor of assisted suicide

By AMY BETH HANSON – Associated Press – 12/07/08

A state district judge has ruled Montana residents have the right to doctor-assisted suicide.

The ruling issued late Friday by Judge Dorothy McCarter makes Montana the third state in which doctor-assisted suicide is legal.

“The Montana constitutional rights of individual privacy and human dignity, taken together, encompass the right of a competent terminally (ill) patient to die with dignity,” McCarter wrote.

Last Sunday, we had the opportunity to visit the new Chi Alpha coffee house called “Crosswalk”.  It is a place where college students can gather to study, have fellowship, or some good coffee.  Alan Warneke, our Assemblies of God District Superintendent, was there and led a prayer of dedication.  Several churches and many volunteers helped make the Crosswalk what it is.  Thank you Tim Kern for being obediant to the vision that God gave to you!
