Smokey Valley Baptist Church in Linsborg, Kansas, invited us to play for their first revival meeting at their country church along with 17 preachers attending. Our friends from Nebraska, the McCormicks, moved to Kansas and gave their pastor our CD. So the pastor called us and we were happy to go down to not only sing, but see our good friends. From Tuesday through Thursday, we were able to play for all five services. Some preachers were from North Carolina and it was hilarious to hear the accents each of them had. There were many times I'd look at my family and ask during the preaching " What did he just say? " =) The guy who announced us to play, Pastor Shepherd, couldn't say our last name. He kept calling us the Smitts, so Glen called him Mr. Shep hard just to make everyone laugh.

Thursday morning, on the way to the morning service, Rebecca, Christina and myself (Monica) were in a car accident with Mr. and Mrs. McCormick and some of us girls weren't wearing seat belts. As a truck turned in front of us, we hit him going about 35 mph and totaled the car. The air bags didn't go off and i thought the windshield shattered, but it didn't and God protected us from any serious injuries. Christina had to be in a neck brace and all the rest of us just got brused and sore. Praise God no one got seriously hurt.

Hearing the preaching and meeting like minded Christians was a very nice blessing as we felt right at home with them. God did a work through the meetings and the preaching was some of the best i've ever heard. It was awesome to be a part of this event. Thanks to all of our friends for making our week such a special one!

On our way to Plentywood, Glen tried to come up with a good reason someone would name a town "Plentywood". We all laughed as he kept saying " there's plenty of wood around here.. hmm let's call it Plentywood. " lol!

So, roughly six hours later we arrived and participated it Ron Evitt's Gospel Crusade all weekend. We got to re-unite with old friends and of course, made more! :) All of us had a fantastic time. The preaching was great, the fellowship was encouraging and it seems every time we go to sing, God always blesses. On the last night we sang, a man came up to me and told me that his friends came to hear the music, not knowing it was a religious service. The wife of the couple was saved but her husband was " a christian hater ". That night, the husband received Christ as his savior. Praying for over thirty years, this wife was faithful and rejoiced to see the light of the gospel change her husbands heart. The man telling me this had tears in his eyes and thanked me for being a part of such a deep work of God in this man's life. This is what it's all about. Being used by God in such small ways to change other's lives.

To God be the glory.




All of us "young people" :)

It's been a busy new year! With our 2nd CD out, we've been able to sing at several preaching events, camps and gospel crusades. God is still keeping the doors open for us to sing and spread the gospel. We're having a blast doing it! =)

In November, Monica broke her left wrist and couldn't fiddle until this February, but now she's back to normal, thank God!

This summer is starting to get booked up and we're looking forward to all the great places God has opened up for us to go and people we'll be with.

Be sure to click around and look at our new photos!!

Hi all!! It's been a while since I've posted anything here. Shows you how busy we can be. I have updated our singing schedule. Please take a look at our "Upcoming Events" page for times and places. We are also working on a new CD with some new songs and hyms along with a couple of original songs that we have delevoped over the last few months. We hope to have it done by the end of May or the first part of June. Thanks for checking us out!

You will find a couple of clips from our Aug.30th event at the Valley View Heights, here in Bismarck. We hope you enjoy them. Nathan had not been feeling well for the last two days and we took him to the hospital that evening. So happens he had appendicitis and ended up in surgery later on that night. He is home now and recovering well. Just another example as to how life can change so quickly. You never know what will happen. You may be not be here tomorrow. Our prayer is that you are ready. If you are not sure where you would go before you die, please contact us and we will be more than happy to show you, in the Bible, how to get saved and be sure of your home in heaven. God Bless!

I need to say Thank You to all the people that have donated to Lisa's Benefit Fund. THANK YOU! We received many blessings from many people. We are so grateful for family,friends and even people we don't know that well and have met as a result of this blog, that have been such a blessing. Your words and prayers are appreciated more than you will ever know.
Lisa has been doing so well!! Praise God!! She has, in my estimation, recovered about 90 to 95% of her health back, as a result of going to Tijuana, Mexico and going through the three weeks of treatment for her Lymes Disease. We are so thankful for God's mercy and grace to get us through it. He is faithful!
Thank you, again, for your gifts, prayers, cards, calls and emails. We pray that we can be a blessing to those who are going through the same situation and that God can use us somehow to help others, because of it. Thank you all so much.
We haven't done much singing this summer. Rebecca and Monica are in Nebraska helping good friends of ours sell fireworks this year. They have been gone for nearly two weeks now. They are doing well and working hard. The three older girls will be attending a Church Summer Camp our church,Open Door Baptist, again this year when they get back. We hope to get back into the swing of things in August sometime, Lord willing. It is our hearts desire to give out God's wonderful message of salvation through word and song.

We sang in Valley City March 6th at the Hi-Liners Activity Center. My cousin and her husband, Ben and Sharon Jacob, are associated with the NDWS and asked us to come sing again. We were thrilled to be asked again. It was a bit different than two years ago when we sang in the Winter Show building. (LOL) The "HAC" , as it is called, was very nice. Bleachers were pulled out on one side of the gym and a platform stage was set up in the middle of the floor for us to set up on. People came almost an hour early to get front row seats. A friend in the audience took some pictures and said he'd email them to me. I will post them as soon as I get them.
We have been to Valley City many times, singing at various churches and functions. We like going there, meeting new people and seeing familiar faces again. Afterwards my cousin from Fargo and his wife took all of us out to the Hilltop Cafe for pie and ice cream. Overall we had a great time there, as usual.
