Grandpa’s Neighbors

Thank you for your interest in "Grandpa’s Neighbors!" Great-Grandpa used to say, "Pull ye up a chair and sit down by it!" or to the little ones he’d say, "Sit down on yer fist and lean back on yer thumb!" Though neither sounds very comfortable, both comments opened the door to many a pleasant visit as enjoyable as sipping a cool glass of well water on a hot summer day. 

 

 

Perhaps you’d like to find a nice comfortable chair and rest for a moment while we introduce you to the family ministry of "Grandpa’s Neighbors."

 

We appreciate the privilege of being able to stand together as a family in witness for our God and His perfect provision for His people. We are simple, honest, country folk striving to honor God in all that we do.

 

We have been told that listening to us sing is like reading the King James Bible. We count that as a very high complement, for we desire to sing, and to write, songs in which the pure and simple truths of God’s word reach the heart of all who listen, whether they are seated in the opry house or on a church pew.

 

We savor the smell of fresh turned soil, new hay and homemade bread, the feel of a gentle country breeze, and the sweet mellow tones of acoustic instruments and soft rain on our tin roof.

 

We sing in a style that is a pleasant mix of country, bluegrass and traditional gospel. We have many, many songs, some original to our group. We never repeat a show or service exactly for we set each line up of songs according to God’s leading for each specific audience or congregation.

 

We are an all-girl band with all-girl vocals but we never go to any performance without Dad or at least one of our Grandpas. They love us and take care of us very well and we appreciate the covering of protection God has placed us under.

 

We recognize the seriousness of the ministry God has placed us in and we know the peace that comes while walking through the hardest places in the perfect will of God. There is joy in serving God, even in the midst of trials!

 

We would not even have the breath of life if it weren’t for the grace and mercy of God. We hope that when we meet you in person, you see Him in us. It is our desire to be instruments in God’s hands. We go where God leads, striving daily to walk in His perfect will. We marvel at the things God has done in our lives for we truly are simple country folk trying to live for God in an ungodly world.

 

We really are Grandpa’s neighbors! He lives right across the road from us and has introduced us at local singings for as long as we can remember by saying, "For those of you who don’t know who this next group is, this here’s my neighbors!"

 

Some of our fondest memories of Great-Grandpa are of him preaching and singing praises to God with all his heart. The foundation of our ministry was lain generations ago by humble men willing to do whatever God called them to do. They were farmers, fathers, husbands, but first they were servants of God. What a heritage we have! We humbly follow their example.

 

We are looking forward to meeting you in person. We pray for God’s perfect will as you make your decision as to when that may be.

 

In closing, we say, as Great Grandpa used to say as we gathered our things to leave, "Ya’ll take care now! And, pray for us every chance you get!"

 

To God Be All Glory!
