FREE CD GIVEAWAY!!!


Hi, everyone! Last night, we helped get Greg McDougal a venue at our church to have a concert. It was a small turnout, but I believe he touched most of the hearts of those there. Greg's been a family friend for four years now, and he continues to touch our lives - as well as the lives of people around us!
Greg was on the verge of going all-out in a country music career eight years ago, when God told him to walk away. Since then, he's been faithfully working to support his family as a carpenter. But God has told him to take up his guitar again, to raise money to help his family - and families of other special needs kids - to get what they need to take care of these needs at home. And God's blessing! Greg is nominated this year by the Christian Country Music Association for Best Album of the Year, and Best New Artist!
And now, you have a chance to win one of Greg's CDs. :) I've talked to him, and we'll give away FIVE of his CDs, "The Work of a Carpenter". If you'd like to learn more about him, and about his cause, please go check out his website here. You'll be blessed by his music, and touched by his ministry. The cause? Well, this picture is Greg with his four kids. Three of them - Jeffrey (the oldest), Sean, and Gracey (the youngest), have been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. May I just tell you, they steal the show when they sing with Greg? :D Katie is a most precocious 5-year-old, and Greg and his wife, Diane, do a wonderful job of making sure she gets special attention, too.
They are a wonderful family, and I believe you'll LOVE the CD. SO, leave a comment here on my blog by OCTOBER 1, and we'll draw 5 names to win! :) Be sure to leave me a way to contact you - email, link to your blog, something! :)
GOOD LUCK! Oh, and be SURE to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING!!!!

This is an amazing story Lori. I wish Greg, his wife, and his amazing children all the love I have. Please enter me in the contest. Are the children on the CD? That would be precious too. :) I am going to his site now. I love country music, and the more God in it there is, the better it is. :)

God does work in mysterious ways. I will contest to that. My god-son is just this week being tested for the same disease. He already suffers from Brittle Bone syndrome. I have enjoyed reading Greg's website. Thank you for sharing.

There is a yearly fundraiser dance at my husband's old high school that raises money for families with CF - it is done in the remembrance of a family with 5 kids - 4 of whom had CF. When it is multiple children in one family it is not only a tragedy - it is a job. There is sooooo much work involved in caring for children with CF, it is breathing treatments, percussive therapy, and on and on, etc. I am sure that God has blessed this family with much love, I will pray for a blessing of comfort as well. Thanks for sharing them with us.
