Rush of Fools

My Dad got this E-mail and I had to post it.

We need your prayers! Early this morning, Rush Of Fools' trailer was stolen out of our driveway in Alabama. The band has lost everything they own including all merchandise, guitars, cases, amps....anything you would see them play with at a show is gone. Insurance will cover some of the costs, but due to recent purchases and additions to the gear, the value lost is over $60,000. This, as you know, is a major loss for a young band. We know that God has plans in the midst of this. While we look for answers, please pray that our trailer and gear will be found quickly and unharmed. We are all off on vacation this week, and Wes gets married on Saturday. Not exactly the kind of stress you need before your wedding.

Our next set of concerts begin on July 14th, and our management company is working now to help find solutions so we can continue to play concerts and share our music with hurting people who need to hear it.

Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." This verse is where we all live and breathe. We trust God in all things, even when we don't have the answers to why someone would do this. It's our prayer that whoever took the gear and trailer would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through our stuff. Yes, literally, our “stuff” would be the catalyst to their introduction to Christ.

So, we need your immediate help in two ways. First, if you can pray, please stop right now and ask God to intervene and find our trailer. Second, if you are able to help financially, we would love that support. You can mail checks to Rush Of Fools, Inc at the address below. All money received will go towards being able to replace our gear.

You not only are the best fans in the world, but you are our friends too.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for us, our band, and our families.

Rush Of Fools

Just Pray for them, they are a great band and if you have never heard of them on 91.9 you should.

Oh, that's so sad. I'll be praying for the band. I'm not sure I've heard them, maybe I have.
By the way, I love your new layout! I saw the movie Sunday afternoon and just loved it! Walle is SO cute!! I definitely recommend that anyone who reads this should see Walle.

I don't think I've ever heard of them... although the name does sound a little familiar... But I'll be praying for them anyway. =D
I'm hoping to see the movie soon... and yes, the layout is very cute.
