Dear friends,

It has been a long time since I have updated this newsletter. My whole life has been changed with the trials we have been going through (see last year's news letter). For almost 50 years, Marie has been my "bookie" and my "pusher", meaning she scheduled my concerts and pushed on me all kinds of vitamins and prescriptions, to keep me well. She also did the accounting, banking, cooking and many other things. Now I have the privilege and blessing to take care of Marie, when she needs it. People who knew her well, called her "SUPER WOMAN" as she could do ten things at once and do them all well. I'm trying to learn cooking and some of the many other things Marie did. Sadly to say I can't do ten things at once, it seems that sometimes I can't do even one thing at once. Needless to say that is why the newsletter has not been updated. In the future I will try to keep the information current.

I had been praying that the Lord would help me, or send me help, doing concert scheduling. We did a concert Sept. 11, 2014 at CAMP BERACHAH in the Seattle area, and a couple from southern Oregon approached me and said they thought the Lord was leading them to help me do concert booking. PRAISE THE LORD!!! Sharon and Ray Talbot could use help. If you think it would be a blessing to have a WILLIAM HARNESS CONCERT in your church, please contact the Talbots 541-592-6861.

Due to helping Marie and slowing a little myself, I'm no longer able to keep a full schedule, like before, but I would still like to do one or two ministries a month. The Lord seems to be impressing on me that He still wants me to stay in this ministry in spite of the hardships. It would be easy to quit and just take care of Marie, but I still have a great passion to use music as a tool to present my Lord and Savior. Also I have been singing better than I have for years, this happened through a miracle in my life. Almost more important, Marie would like us to stay in the ministry. She is still able to run the sound for my concerts. We practice for a week before each concert, and I warn Marie, and also tell the audience that if she makes a mistake I will stop the concert and walk down and give her a kiss. The audience loves it, but I'm not entirely sure how Marie feels about it.

Hopefully in the future, I will be able to add some pictures and more music to this web page. One of my goals is to keep the "page" current. I am so thankful to Ginny Gambill for doing the web page for me, but it never gets updated if I don't send her the new information.
 

With our love,

William & Marie Harness
