Well, yesterday my brother and I did a meeting Sunday morning, then went to sing with our college choir that Sunday evening. The catch: our director was not with us. Where is she? Well, while we're here turning ourselves into human ice sculptures, she's on vacation in Cancun. A part of me wants to ask God to send a hurricane to Cancun out of jealousy, but that would not be the Christian thing to do. Anyway, we had to do a concert without a director.....that's like leaving a blind person without their seeing-eye dog! Anyway, we got to the concert and saw that there was an evangelist there who used to be my pastor! When he got up to preach, he admitted that the tie we gave him when we were little was atrociously hideous! I didn't cry....... but I wanted to.
Anyway, we hope that you will see us in concert near you. To find out all about us, check out our website, www.foresterministries.com, where you can see our info, check our upcoming concert dates, and purchase our CDs! Thanks for viewing!

Fear Not.... I Live
I apologize for not making any recent posts, but things have been busy with the holidays, the new year, and going back to college..... yes, they took me back! Anyway, Happy New Year!
Well, something interesting that's happened.... something interesting.... something.... I may need a new toaster! Okay, I'll testify of my own stupidity. This past Saturday, my two nephews were spending the weekend with us and we took them sledding on what my parents affectionately call Dead Man's Hill. (It makes black diamond hills look like they're for Pebbles Flinstone) Anyway, I like to go down on my back (with a sled) because I go faster. Unfortunately, I hit a bump and the edge of the sled came up under my shoulder blade and.......... injured me. This is where the dumb part comes in. My nephews and I found a back path that had two ramps on it for sledding. Did I sit on the sidelines like an intelligent idiot? No. I went down a couple of times and was fine. It was the time I went down again on my back that I decided I'd rather have a hernia. To make matters worse, we received a Wii for Christmas (I hope there is at least one jealous reader). Did I refrain from playing boxing and baseball like a smart peanut? No. Now I'd rather give birth.
As far as our ministry goes, we have received several new bookings and we are eagerly looking forward through the new year to see what God will do with us in 2009. We still have empty dates that we would be glad to fill, so stop by our website at www.foresterministries.com and take a look at us!

Merry Christmas!
This week my brother and I are finding up the last week of our first semester at Midwestern Baptist College. We've made a lot of new friends there and are planning to return again next semester. We've enjoyed it all immensely and we believe that this is where the Lord wants us to be.
Last Tuesday night, I had an interesting experience: I had to preach for the first time in front of my class. THAT'S what you call in need of a sedative! Anyway, matters were made worse by the fact that somebody else preached on my very same topic! He preached on forgiveness just as I had planned to do, though at the moment forgiveness was then the FURTHEST thing from my mind! (I wanted to kill him.....in Christian love, of course) Luckily I had two sermons so everything was okay.
Don't forget, stop by http://www.foresterministries.com/ and check out our website! Merry Christmas to all! And to all, a jubilous St. Patrick's day!

Weird Country Names
Have you ever stopped and thought about some of the names that belong to countries? Try using some of these weird ones in a sentence: "Oh, I think I'm coming down with Bulgaria!" "I'm sorry, but you'll just have to Kuwait. I'm making Madagascar-and-cheese right now." "Iran, you ran, he ran, she, we, they ran."..... Sorry, my dain bramage came out a little there.
Don't forget to check us out on the web at www.foresterministries.com for CDs, booking info, and our schedule! We are accepting dates (concert times) for 2009 (cause 2020 is too far away right now).

For all of you folks out there in blogger land who may have been curious: Yes, I am still traveling in this crazy two-man group that we call "The Forester Brothers"! I thought about telling a few lies and excuses for not writing lately and dumping everything on Josh, but then I remembered that in an older post I already used the excuse of being abducted by aliens!
Anyway, I thought I'd tell about our last couple of concerts that we have done this month.
We did a concert on the 8th of this month w/ Mark & Andrea Forester and a trio called His Strength. it was supposed to be a benefit concert for Strength's radio ministry. We only had a little over thirty people show up, but we still had a great time, sold a few CDs, raised a little money for the radio program, and praised God. Josh was in rare form that night. On my last song that I sang, (On My Journey Home) he was goofing of so much on stage that I laughed out more notes than I sang!
Last night we did an evening concert for a Nazarene church in Bay City. There were approx. 75 people there, and boy, were they a great bunch! They clapped along on several songs, laughed at every thing Josh said, and even laughed at MY corny jokes! We had a wonderful time, and Josh and I both agreed that that church would be an excellent place for recording a live CD because of there great response and energy.
Next Sunday we will be at Brown's City United Methodist, and we are looking forward to it, as we do every concert.
God bless all of our readers.....and Happy Thanksgiving!

Why I'm Glad Women Don't Rule The World
I don't mean in any way to be chauvinist here, but there are several reasons I am glad women don't completely control the planet:
- every toilet seat on the earth would be chained down.
- the only TV show would be "Charlie's Angels".
- all Terminator memorabilia would be confiscated and burned.
- men would be executed for using the "good towels".
- all pickup trucks would be traded in for pink Volkswagens.
- "Walker, Texas Ranger" would become "Alex, District Attorney".
- it would be a crime to mention "HeMan".
okay, maybe some of these were exaggerations....but every toilet seat WOULD be chained down!

Coolest Concert Ever!
We just recently did the Roseville concert with Greater Vision and Legacy Five. It was awesome! I have never shared a stage with some of the top names in gospel music before, and it was a real honor, and at the same time a terryfing experience! If I were to mess up, EVERYBODY IMPORTANT WOULD KNOW IT!
Anyway, I've been kind of hard up for jokes lately. Honestlty, finding a joke has gotten as hard as finding a parking space on Cheistmas Eve: "Taken, taken, taken, taken, fire lane, taken...Ooh!.....Ah, maccedamien, the meter's busted...".....wait....that was a joke.
