KCC: Re-cap of Jeff Murrell & Friends

AMAZING!!!

If I could only use one word to describe last Friday's show with Jeff Murrell & Friends. . . that would be it!

I was so excited for this event- partly because of my company ;). My sister and her husband were visiting from Germany! It was my brother-in-law's first trip to Warmdaddy's and the first time that my sister had been back there since they moved out of the country. My aunt/self-proclaimed "big sis" (who also is a singer) joined us.

*Right before she moved, my sister and I went to Warmdaddy's for Jeff's Birthday/Luther Legacy Show!  So the trip to Philly for this show was extra special!*

I didn't know exactly what to expect but I knew it would be great! Jeff was joined by Chartel Findlater and Steven Walker on (background) vocals and of course he had the amazing band- Vertical Current playing for him!

Friday's show proved that these singers and musicians appreciate a variety of styles and time periods of music and can perform just about anything! (My phone was acting crazy so I was only able to record one song :-/.)

Seeing the energy with which they performed, you probably wouldn't have known that the majority of the set was spontaneous/unexpected. They pulled it off!

Let me just list out some of the highlights. . .

Spend My Life With You- Eric Benet & Tamia (feat. Chartel)
Water Runs Dry- Boyz II Men
If You Think You're Lonely Now- Bobby Womack
Rock With You- Michael Jackson
Happy- Pharrell

I absolutely loved watching Jeff and the crew respond to the audience's energy! From getting audience members to sing along to accepting random song requests, it was obvious that Jeff really wanted to ensure that everyone had a great time!



While he payed homage to talented artists who have passed away over the years, I was glad that he also included his own song (and one of my favorites!), "Whatever" in the show.  {If/when I get married, I just might have to get him to perform this at the reception lol.} Check out the video below for an acoustic version. . .



I definitely think it's great to hear talented artists put on a good show but a lot of people may not realize how much of an impact taking the time to connect with the audience can have. Jeff does that! Whether it's coming off of the stage to sing with whoever wants to, taking pictures, making jokes or just getting to know the people who have come out to hear him sing. . . Jeff Murrell is a performer you won't forget!

If you can, be sure to go see him LIVE! You won't be disappointed.

*By the way, I tried the Southern Neptune Seafood Salad instead of my usual salmon. . . delicious!

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow!  I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is  the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?"  Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony..

Let It Go {One Year of Freedom}

"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)  **If you don't get anything else out of this post, I pray that you realize. . . you really can do all things through Christ - especially when your desire is to please Him! He will strengthen you to walk uprightly before Him.** ---------- Believe me when I say. . . Knowing what you need to do is very  different from actually doing it. Sometimes it is difficult to do what we know is right. That's where I found myself, in November and December of 2022. Let me take you back. . . As a single woman (just in case anybody needs clarification 😉), I was opening myself up to meeting guys and getting to know them when I crossed paths with  Royal . Initially, we seemed to have quite a few things in common: faith, a desire to serve our communities, a strong love for our families, and. . . a way with words. (*insert face

Hydrangea Revelations

 A few months ago, I brought home a hydrangea bush. Now. . . don't be deceived or confused. I do NOT claim to have a green thumb.🤣 However, I'm proud to say that I've managed not to completely kill the entire thing. This plant has honestly brought a couple of lessons or revelations to the forefront of my mind. . . A good while ago, I completely fell off of any sort of watering schedule. One night, I walked into my living room and every leap was drooping. The plant just looked sad! My immediate thought was to throw the whole thing away. Instead, I thought again. . . I decided to water it & see what would happen in the morning. The next day, I walked out and it looked new!  Everything was upright!  Job 14:7-9 came to mind. . . "At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water, it will bud and put forth shoots lik
