yeah hey everybody Mondays with market so more a happy Monday to you a happy Monday to you may you feel Jesus near every day of the year but a happy Monday to you hi everybody I'm in Lynchburg Virginia which is really I'm in Forrest Virginia oh look we're live [Music] hi everybody hey um y'all come on in everybody we're in Lynchburg Virginia good night Colleen came with me I got a wild hair to come to Lynchburg and see my family especially since his father's day I hope all the father's watching had a wonderful wonderful Father's Day and any time to view post oh I don't want to be the first time anyway I'm y'all my brand-new Apple MacBook Pro which I had set up I recorded earlier today my brother and I remember I made that little video telling you what we're gonna do tonight well look at my brand new MacBook Pro Apple sent to me and look what it's doing does anybody know why it's doing that it's fried so anyway but we had a good time driving up I love to drive and listen to podcasts and books on tape and we had such a good time and I want to remind everybody to make sure height turn all that down remind everybody that we're going on a cruise in March the mark Lowry Spring Fling cruise please go to mark Lowry cruise calm and get all the information the ball brothers will be with me the Martins of course will be on the cruise I love them a lot of these groups that traveled with me in the past now the ball brothers I've never met before until I met them on Mondays with mark so we've not met in person yet but they are fun funny guys you need to follow them on Facebook and of course you know the Martins Stan wittmeyer we'll be on there my pastor Brett Jones is coming and so go to mark Lowry Cruz comm as soon as this programs over and book your cabin we're gonna have a fun fun time it's going to be the cruise of a lifetime and let's see what else I want to tell you oh we got to hear from our foreign correspondent miss Tori TAS hi Tori hey everybody this is Tori tap your special correspondent on the swing here in Bell Buckle Tennessee well there were big doings in the buckle this weekend it was the 24th annual moon pie RC Cola festival that's one of our biggest festivals that we have here all year about 20,000 people come into town the festivities start with a 10-mile run why anybody thinks it's a good idea to run ten miles in Tennessee in June and a thousand percent humidity I don't know but that's how they kick it off I like to sit here on the porch and drink coffee and wave that the poor sucker says they run by and because this is Bell Buckle we have professional cheerleaders who kind of line up and wave them onto victory it's fun so next up is the big parade now as a former Moon Pie Queen myself and mark who is the 2017 RC Cola king last year we can attest that the parade is just about the most fun part because how often you get to ride in a convertible do the rodeo Queen wave and throw moon pies have people come on this year I had a special stake in it because I had something to do with a tearoom look we worked on it for days and it was so beautiful however because it was about a thousand degrees outside as I mentioned before our characters the Mad Hatter and Alice's makeup started running out their face but they didn't let that get in their way and it was a great parade the rest of the day is filled with all kinds of fun things to do there's vendors spread out all over town they have food vendors and like the oh you know those little buckets of mini doughnuts and those roasted ears of corn I love those things and then there's little shops set up and all kinds of crafts and things available there's games that go on - we have races where you run a race with RC Cola can on your head and there's cloggers and there's entertainment and there's the biggest deal is the arrival of the world's largest moon pie it comes under guard and is delivered on stage after the coronation of the king and queen now even if you don't like moon pies you'd like this one because it's fresh baked and Chattanooga the factory and it is the most delicious freshest one you'll ever taste this year it was salted caramel and it was fabulous next year it's gonna be the big 25th annual festival so mark your calendars a third weekend in June and Bell Buckle Tennessee we'd love to see you here because everybody needs a little Bell Buckle and a big fat moon pie in their life yes I was the Moon Pie king at the Bell Buckle I wasn't King did you no no this is Natasha Coley Lowry my brother's wife who I've always

so fast we can't read them okay Janet angel this is for your sister mark what things does do you see in the two boys the old men two boys that are similar and most different was someone and different about me and mine well today y'all look more alike my head's big right hair and mike says what do you say you've got is he made if I may back because Mike was like he was a model no no he did modeling y'all there are pictures here overseers and other places around Houston and yeah he was a model and I had to follow that around yeah here comes the water headed brother anyway so it's good that he you know helped but when you're ugly from the get-go you got nothing to lose see I get to watch pretty people age I love that okay back to the questions Marilee car how were you able to keep a stroke a daddy how were you able to keep a straight face from Marc was misbehaving and and you were trying to discipline him did you ever almost laugh you don't remember telling me the story about Mark had braces and he bit the blankley like oh yeah but what about didn't you take him into the ring one time and tell ya one time one time he beat the bed instead of me one time he thought mama was wrong and so he beat the bed instead of me and told me to scream Charles you got a whiff more every day and I said what do you do as she told me and I didn't think it was serious enough to flip him so we walked upstairs I take my belt off now saying the mark I don't think you deserve a spanking for this so I'm gonna hit the bed real hard and when it hits you yell so we did that about four or five times and we came down as mother sometimes you got to go with the kid hey um so dad Judy for cotner Baum wants to know what what she says what makes you proudest of mark but what are you private what are you proudest of your kids what an honor I'd shake the fact that they've all accepted Jesus as their personal Savior an almost spent eternity in heaven with them the trait of the Lowery's is we all talk at the same time that's true and Susan Chandler once asked me Susan Chandler price and I'm going to ask all of y'all what is the greatest thing your dad ever taught you and you can answer for your dad the great what I was telling them cuz I was thinking about that yeah he finally got one what a smart flower and does he know how to text no no anyway cuz I know they were good he said what is the greatest thing your dad ever taught you I don't respect my mom what an injury elderly people you know love them yes good I'd say one of the greatest things he ever taught me that I tell myself all the time is take it a tick at a time you're not responsible for the last second or the next moment you got can only live in the present and I think that is brilliant and I think Jesus taught that to you to live in the moment he always tells me it's gonna be okay oh yeah one way they are they yeah yeah don't stress it yes yeah okay well I told all of you the story about the grandfather clock meeting Masonic College there's been no I don't remember wait we gotta get in somebody else in this room at 666 666 people are watching right now I just go to 660 three we board three of them out of the run
