The Heavenly Journey Blog

Well, 2008 is just about over.  Heavenly Journey has had a busy year.  We’ve traveled throughout most of the state this year, and we’re looking forward to traveling in 2009.  God has really blessed us and we thank Him for that!  We’ll be ending this year on New Year’s Eve at Clear Creek Baptist Church in Taylorsville.  We’ll be singing with our good friends Hearts Desire.  Y’all come on down for a night of worship and fun!

We’ve also lost some good friends and relatives during 2008.  Our friends, Voices of Faith, from Raleigh, have recently lost both a husband and a father.  Richard Holbert, who helped with their sound, passed away just after Thanksgiving.  Richard was their preacher and led many people to the Lord.  He is missed by all who knew him, but we know we’ll see him again one day soon.  Then, this past weekend, James “Pop” Williamson passed away after a battle with cancer.  James was the father of several members of Voices of Faith.  Again, James was a Christian, so we all know we’ll see him again soon.  And, this past weekend, Tim Arinder lost his grandfather.  Mr. Miles was well-loved by his family and they will miss him.  But, once again, they know where he is and they know they’ll be seeing him again soon.  What a wonderful thought!!  We will all get to see those we love once again when we all get to heaven.

This year has been a year of changes also for Heavenly Journey.  We bought a bus (working on it), we’ve been on tv, we’ve been heard by millions of people on the internet thanks to Cedar Valley Live, AND, we’ve met some absolutely wonderful, incredible people!!  One of them, Brother Gary Shelton, who hosts Cedar Valley Live, is an incredible man whom God is using to reach people throughout the world through the power of the internet.  We’ve seen the horrible things people use the internet for, but we don’t often hear about the wonderful things God is using it for.  Well, if you’re on-line, and want to be inspired, go to ubroadcast.com and click on the ’station’ icon.  Then, type in 10085, and you’ll hear streaming Southern Gospel music.  At nighttime, go to cedarvalleynetwork.com and find Bro. Gary’s live evening program.  You WILL be blessed.

We look forward to seeing you this next year.  And, if we haven’t yet met, we look forward to meeting you!!  May God bless you in all your endeavors in this new year!!  We love you!!
