Just in case you haven't heard, Frank's son had a set-back this weekend. Here's a copy of what they put out in their e-newsletter:
quote:
Hey L5 family...
Just a quick note to ask you to pray for Frank Jr...
The stem cell transplant process has been going very well but yesterday evening he began running a fever. The doctors say he has developed an infection in the vascular port in his chest and they will need to do surgery this morning to remove that port and place another in his arm.
Hopefully, this will not be a major setback for Frank Jr... we just want to ask you to pray that they will be able to get the infection and fever under control right away and that the removal/replacement of the port will go well. Of course, his immune system is currently almost nonexistent because of where he was in the process of the transplant... this could pose a problem in trying to fight the infection. We find great comfort in knowing you'll go to the throne of God on our behalf... thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers.
All prayers are appreciated!

I heard that Frank Jr responded well to some antibiotics and they delayed the surgery. That's all I heard...Katie and Naomi might know more...

Hey Guys!!!!! We just got back last night from the Jubilee Concert in Iola KS. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Me and Naomi are gonna get together in the next day or so and write a review. We weren't able to take any video(bummer :( ) but we'll try really hard to remember everything we can!! The Jubilee CD is just awesome!!!!!! I love every single song on it! we listened to over and over the whole trip home. ;-) It's just too cool to have the 3 best groups in all of SG music on 1 cd singing together! Not to mention they're all like best friends! That really makes it more special cuz you can tell they all really love each other.

When we talked to Frank on Saturday night he said that they did delay the surgery and he seemed to be responding well to the antibiotics. He said that was an absolute miracle because he doesn't even have an immune system right now, so they really weren't expecting that.
That's all I know right now. I'm not sure if they're still going to do surgery or what, but I do believe with all my heart he's healed!
It really was a miracle. It's just the Lord because I know there were alot of ppl praying!!
It really does Pay to Pray my friends!

Frank Seamans Jr. update...
All we can say is THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER! Thank you so much for responding when we asked for prayer last weekend for the infection Frank Jr. had developed. As we reported then, they had planned to do surgery on Sunday morning to remove the vascular port that was causing the infection because they didn't expect his depressed immune system to respond to the antibiotics.
By Sunday morning, the antibiotics had done the job... his fever was down and the infection was gone! Praise the Lord! They've been monitoring him carefully over the last few days and everything seems to be fine now. They are saying he could get to go home as early as today! Of course, he still has a 3 month recuperation period at home, but we're very encouraged that the stem cell transplant seems to have been successful. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers!

Okay guys! Here is the review you have all been waiting for!!!! L5 at the First Baptist Church of the Refrigerator in Popular Bluff, Missouri!!!! LOL! (Sorry guys, I couldn’t help myself). Just in case you don’t believe me, listen to this . . . I walk down to the front of the church to find a seat. There were three sections of pews in the church, and for some reason, the only one that wasn’t “reserved” was the one in the middle. There were two men sitting there “guarding” their seats and had purses and things marking the spots next to them. I went over and asked if it was possible for just one person to squeeze on the end, (which there was plenty of room, no squeezing needed) . . . The one man said, “Oh yeah, go ahead - I was just saving a seat for Mr. and Mrs. Freeman,” speaking to me as if I knew who they were. That man had no idea that I DID NOT ATTEND THEIR CHURCH REGULARLY!!!!!! Then, when his wife came to sit down, she looked at me, …. glared, and loudly asked her husband, “Are you sure you have enough room for the Freeman’s?” (BTW - the Freeman’s never showed up that evening!!!) But, I did get to keep my front row seat! 
Legacy Five opened the night with their calming rendition of What A Friend, then stirred the audience up with Heavenly Signs. Strike Up The Band followed, then Scott acknowledged the anniversary of a couple who was married in the basement of the church 45 years ago! (What a sweet way to celebrate your anniversary!) Scott went on to say how he was able to listen to their sermon from last Sunday when he checked into the hotel the night before, and he came to the conclusion (now, how many of you can guess what I’m going to say?) . . . That they are NOT politically correct! He told the story about the church in Florida, and as he told about each “policy” the audience gave the biggest “oooh’s”! It was great! Howie’s solo was That’s What Grace Is For - I have never heard him sing that one live before, and I loved it! Scott pointed out two men sitting five rows back who use to sing with the quartet his dad sang in. They brought Scott some CD’s they had converted from Albums that had his dad singing on them. Then, L5 sang the old number I’m Feeling Fine. They sure were into that song! Scott said that he had driven by that particular church thousands of times, but never had been inside it until that night. Glenn was featured on Roll On, followed by Tim’s piano solo, In My Heart There Rings A Melody. As Scott was introducing Tim, he said that there was a lady there from Greenwood, Mississippi, who noticed that Tim’s feet moved faster than his fingers! She brought a pedometer with her and had him wear it to see how many times he tapped his foot! After his solo, Howie said, “From the waste up was ‘Baptist’ piano playin‘, but from the waist down was Pentecostal!” Glenn so casually added in his deep, low drawl, “Makes me want to put my hair up in a bun.” Howie quickly responded to Glenn, “You will have to wash your make-up off first!” Oh, they were in a mood to get some laughs! Scott gathered them all around the piano (Tim was playing on a grand!) to sing The Prettiest Flowers - to which they received a standing ovation! (Well, the people who did not go to this church stood!) Frank was giving Scott and Howie a hard time about how all the old songs are centered around the tenor and the bass. Howie said, “Yeah, that’s how it always is with the freaks of nature. You go to the Zoo, and where are the most people? - at the monkey house! …. We’re the leftovers.” Frank continues, “No, no. Glenn and I are the bookends and you guys are in the middle.” Then he turns to the audience and says, “Have you ever had a good baloney sandwich (points to Howie) without the baloney?” Scott responded, “Well, …. I guess that’s a complement!” On the next song, The New Jerusalem Way, they received another standing ovation!!! That’s two in a row! They were so into those two songs too! Especially Frank and Howie. Then they did the old Cathedral song, Life Will Be Sweeter Someday. They sang with just the piano and when they came to the part where they suddenly stop, Frank said, “You could hear a pin drop.” Truly, you could - they had the audience captivated and hanging on their every word! Next, Scott took his Bible out and told us about the program on Discovery. He read the Resurrection out of the Bible and L5 sang There’s Something About That Name. Frank brought the house down with Holy Is Thy Name. He sang it with such power! Another standing ovation! 
At the break, during the offering, Tim played another piano solo. Then L5 came back and started singing some of their requests. The first was I Found Grace - what power they sang it with! Scott sang Why Wouldn’t I, followed by Right Side Of The Dirt . . . Howie and Glenn were really having fun on that one! They pretended to have a bad back and would take a step and hobble on purpose. Scott then told the story about his boys and the TV at Christmas time, which led into God’s Been Good. They finished the night off with I Go To The Rock . . . .another standing ovation!!!!!
The concert was awesome! The guys were so on fire for what they were singing about! (And they still had the appropriate times where they would joke around). What really surprised me was the audience! You could tell who went to the church and who just came for the concert. (The ones who clapped and laughed where the outsiders!) And I will say, much to their shame, there were several who walked in and were very vocal about finding someone else sitting in “their seat.” Didn’t make for a very welcoming atmosphere. Even though the crowd wasn‘t very responsive, they still received FOUR standing ovations that night! And let me tell ya, we had church! Scott did some awesome, heartfelt preachin’ that night which combined with the powerful singing made for one outstanding concert! Now, the evening wouldn’t be complete without revealing what the pedometer reading was. Tim tapped his foot at total of 5,778 times that evening! Whoa! It was a great concert! L5 put their all into it! Thanks guys, for your exceptional music ministry! Keep singing for His glory!!!

Hi there,
Thank you for a great review! I enjoyed reading it very much indeed. You remembered details so well and I could 'feel' the atmosphere.
All the best!

Hi there, everyone!
It is three years since Roger Bennett's final recorded performance (2006 Parade of Pianos). I would like us to remember Roger and all that he stood for. Despite his pain and suffering, his life and his testimony was a shining light for Jesus Christ! His life touched so many people, myself included, and although he is no longer with us, we shall always remember him as a warrior for Christ - a true Hero of the Faith! I thank God for Roger!

I am remembering Roger. What a blessing he was to so many people. I hope to see Debbie at NQC this week.

It was a great evening. We had a lot of fun and was also ministered to.
I'm breaking the mold though... 
I've been to a lot of different churches for concerts, and it seems to me that most all of them have the "cold shoulder" thing going on, no matter what the denomination. It's just the area that I live in. Please don't be offended at some of my comments - we were just having some fun. 
I hope the week isn't too hard on her, I couldn't imagine what it must be like. But I'm so proud of her for keeping Roger's legacy going. She really is a trooper! (Didn't mean to bring sad thoughts up - I just got to thinking too hard again . . .)
