Hey y’all,
Ever tried to type at 70 miles per hour?! The bus is bouncing down the interstate but I’ll do my best to coherently tell you everything that’s going on with the Talleys these days. We are right in the middle of some really exciting activities we want you to be part of with us!
We have just returned from our third trip to Norway. The Norwegian audience is always great to sing to and this year at “Singing In The City” we were joined by Reggie and Ladye Love Smith. We had a great time together and you can see a highlight video of our trip at www.talleytrio.com. My favorite part is our Norwegian translator’s attempt at a Southern accent 
We’d never been to Norway when they had so much snow and the scenery is breathtaking. Great week.
We got some exciting news the other day- “Life Goes On” is a Dove Award nominee for Southern Gospel Recorded Song of The Year! The Dove Awards will be handed out at GMA Week on April 21. We were also honored to learn that SoGospelNews.com announced the Talley Trio as the most played group of 2009. SoGospelNews’s chart recognized “My Hope Is In The Lord” as the number one song of 2009 and “Life Goes On” came in at number four. Big thanks to everyone who requests the music, plays it, and votes for it…it takes everyone for the message to be heard.
We are SO excited about The Extra Mile: Dig Deeper, Go Farther conference on March 20! I chat online every day with people who are coming from all over the country. In Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on March 20, we will host a day of ministry including seminars from myself and my mom, Debra, lunch, and music that evening. I will be speaking and teaching from my new book, “Songs In The Night,” and that evening I will premiere my brand new album of the same title. Mom will be teaching about how our lives are shaped by our thoughts and how we can learn to refute the devil’s lies with the truth of God’s Word. We’ll both be sharing a lot of personal experiences and showing you in Scripture how God has led us and taught us. Lunch will be provided, and that evening, we’ll come back together for two concerts: the “Songs In The Night” premiere and then the Talley Trio will close the evening. We have also just announced a “STRETCH” option for this week only. You may stretch your payment of $87 over two months, with a $45 payment this week and a payment of $42 automatically charged March 15. On March 15, we’ll hold a drawing and 3 winners will have their second payment WAIVED!
The Extra Mile is more than just a conference, or a book/CD launch, or some concerts. It’s a new beginning for all of us in our spiritual lives. It’s a day of renewal. It’s a chance for us to stretch our minds and our faith. It’s an investment in YOU. It’s going to be a life-changing day and it will not be the same without you! Click here to be a part of it!
If that’s not enough for you, we’re also co-hosting Singing In The Sun again this year, April 20-24, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In addition to all the top groups in gospel music, we’re especially excited about the featured speakers. This year we’ll be enjoying messages from Dr. David Jeremiah, former presidential candidate and Arkansas Gov. few! You can get tickets and special hotel rates at www.abrahamproductions.net.
Mike Huckabee, and Pastor Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, just to name a The same type of event will be November 9-15, 2010 aboard the Best of the Best Fall Fantasy Cruise to the Caribbean. Your hosts, the Talleys, along the Hoppers, the Greenes, the Whisnants, the Pfeifers and Ivan Parker, will be singing and you’ll also enjoy inspired Gospel messages every day. The cruise leaves from Charleston, SC and tours Freeport and Nassau in the Bahamas and Key West, FL. Here’s the best part: it’s only $799 per person. Seriously. No joke. All you gotta do is call 877-234-3767 to reserve your space. And don’t forget to tell them that the Talley Trio is your host group.
We’ll be swinging through Texas this week and the dates are as follows:
- 02/25/10 in Greenville, TX at Ridgecrest Baptist Church
- 02/26/10 in Crockett, TX at First Baptist Church
- 02/27/10 in Silsbee, TX at Silsbee High School Auditorium
We’d love to see you at some great events this week!
One more thing: I’d like to ask you all to pray for our family. This week, my dad’s mom (“Mamaw”) moved to a nursing home after a successful surgery. She’s doing quite well, but it’s a big change for our whole family, especially my Papaw. Please pray that the Lord gives us all strength and comfort during this time.
We couldn’t do what we do without your prayers and your support. This ministry is for the Lord and for you- we want to reach as many people as we can. We truly thank you for your sharing in it with us.
Lauren Talley
