@AnotherDawg That’s wild! I’ve always wanted to visit Dr. Loritts’ church up in Roswell. I never appreciated the book of Ecclesiastes until I first heard him preach on it during that conference. Powerful sermon to say the least!
It's not for everyone......but it's right up my alley. He sounds a lot like the Texas Country sound....
Which is called red dirt music out here. Ironically......hardly any red dirt in Texas. Hard sand or caliche roads.
Anyway ....love that music.
Song reminds me of "where rainbows never die" by Steeldriver.
I once attended a big one-day conference at Galleria in Cobb County. I believe Dr. Loritts put it together, and Ernie Johnson (the sportscaster) was one of his guest speakers. There may have been 3,000 people there, and it was about 50/50 black and white. Black guy seated next to me (who is now a senior executive with Chick Fil A) said, "I bet this is what Heaven looks like." And I was thinking the same thing at the same time.
That was a great day.
Apologies to @ArchDawg90 (and everyone else) for hijacking the thread.
Do me a favor and drop me a message if you hear about another conference like that once things really get back to normal. I’d love to take my father-in-law and a couple work buddies.
His mom, “mother Fulcher,” raised a great son.
I live in Athens and my first child (son) is due to be born in 2 weeks so this one hit me in a new way.... I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING! haha
Thanks for posting this!!!! It brought tears to my eyes
UGA Grad.
Bought this finally this year after the championship. Not being able to talk to my dad after his medical issues made it hit a little harder.
And he definitely went to grad school with Ray’s sister.
Thanks, Kasey, for reposting this thread. I hadn't joined the Forum yet, so this was a great read to me. Had not heard of Ray Fulcher before, but will definitely look him up.
Lost my Dad in 2001, and there is not a day that has gone by since that I don't think of him and miss him terribly. He was my hero in life...... a revelation that I learned about myself a little late..... but he definitely had the greatest influence on my life and the man I strive to be.
Thanks again!
