This is the event that I attended in 1997, the "Stand In The Gap": Promise Keepers Rally in Washington, D.C. I had originally thought it was the "Washington For Jesus" event, but that was 1988.

You are exactly right. I believe Peyton Manning was playing for TN at the time. I loved that trip though. To walk the trips of D.C. with thousands of men singing "Lord, I Lift Your Name On High" while business people looked down from their offices was an awesome experience.

And also the men getting the photos of their families out and repenting about how they neglected or whatever they may have done against their wife and family. To see all those men praying and crying. I was a lot younger then but it had an impact on me and how I wanted to be a Godly husband and father when I became one.

Thank you...
Tim,

I sang at a church just south of Memphis last week and was walking with the Minister od Music and heard him say " Hi Barry".

As I approched the man I said "Hi, I'm Mike Pugh".

He said "Don't you know me? I'll give you a hundred dollars if you can call my name".

I thought back a few seconds and said "Barry". I guess he had not heard the Minister Of Music call him.

Anyway, it was Barry Cook but he did not pay me!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
