Post a CommentFantastic article!
Ohhh, now that I'm only a couple of hours away, I want to plan to go! Thanks for the early post!
I love NOJ and get to go most years. Glad Disney moved it back to the Magic Kingdom. My favorite is DCB playing in front of the Castle.
Some of my favorites will be performing. Thanks for the update.
thanks for the info
great article Nice job seems like a fun time Laura Everly
Wish I could go!
Speaking of joy, we had such a day of joy when you and your godly children came to visit our tiny little church. Martha, these folks were so impressed by you and the way you have raised such God-fearing children. You are a rare jewel indeed. They suffer from such low self-esteem in this tiny church because they are few in number but I am constantly reminding them that God uses small numbers (Joshua & Gideon) to bring glory to His name and to Jesus Christ. Amen? Yes, amen! God bless you and your godly family Martha.
How fun!
This is such a worthwhile event! And that line-up is amazing.
