Hi Everyone!
We had a wonderful time at the Wrangler Timed Event in Guthrie, OK. The competition was fierce - Congrats to Josh Peek - who happens to be proud father of twins….We got to visit with his mom - had a great visit! We filmed for Cowboy Church and the service was awesome!

Mark and I are moving stuff from the old house and getting ready for our housewarming. Thanks to so many of you who have shopped at Bed Bath & Beyond and sent us gifts to outfit our home. You are so generous!

If you are in our area, Cowboy Church at Limestone Gap is meeting tonight at 6:30 for supper and 7:00 pm for the teaching. Mark is speaking out of Matthew 6 and I will be singing. We enjoy the fellowship so much and are grateful to be in our Oklahoma home.

God bless and enjoy the day!!!
Susie & Mark

Hi Everyone!

Mark & I are at our Washington home taking some time to "re-group" after being on the road for two weeks. We were in Los Angeles visiting my daughter, Lucchese; then to San Diego to attend Mark's son Kyle's Marine Corp Graduation; then two weekends in Rapid City, SD for the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo. What a time we had!

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED OUR CONCERTS DURING RAPID CITY. WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!!!

During our stay in Rapid, we sang and spoke in Fairburn, Edgemont, and New Underwood…THANKS to all of you who made these events possible! Our first ever Ladies Gathering was a success! We are planning another event possibly in the spring in the Black Hills area.

Weather in Oklahoma has been pretty rough this winter. My son, E.P. has had a time getting his cattle fed with all the wet weather. My brother Pake told me that they can't get the feed truck up to the troughs because it's so muddy. "The muddiest winter I've ever seen", he said.

I talked to Samuel this morning and he was in Jackson, Mississippi at the PRCA rodeo. Lucchese is still working hard at the Brau Haus in Pasadena as an esthetician. Mark's daughter Tara and her husband Daniel are still in school in Boston and Kyle is back in Camp Pendleton doing his infantry training.

We will be in Tyler, Texas at Crossbrand Cowboy Church for their ladies conference February 20 and in church service on Sunday morning at 9 and 11 am. March 5-7, Guthrie, Oklahoma at the Timed Event Championship (we will film Cowboy Church), Church at 9:30 am.

Many of you have asked about sending a wedding or housewarming gift to us. ….Well, we had a headache…I mean…..we had a blast registering at Bed, Bath, and Beyond - a wide range of gifts from expensive to inexpensive. Please don't feel obligated, but if you were one of those interested, go to www.bedbathandbeyond.com and link to Bridal Registry. We are registered under "Susie McEntire-Eaton".

God bless and see you soon!
Susie & Mark

From Rapid City, SD

Hi Everyone!

Hope your day is going well…

We had an awesome service on Sunday here in Rapid City, SD. It's colder than a well digger's rear, but hey, it's winter!!!

Lenora Reichert, Keenie Word, and I sang and WE were so blessed by Joni Harms and her awesome ability to draw such meaning and emotion from her songs.

Neal Hughes brought the message and hit exactly what I and 3/4ths of the people in the room are going through in our lives. I want to thank all of our sponsors, Kelli Word for all the work she did to prepare for the service, and the Fellowship of Christian Cowboy Chapter here in Rapid for their support. THANK YOU!

At 5pm Sunday, 50 ladies met in the theatre and had a great time of sharing and fellowship. We are planning on an extended version of this format in the future, so please keep that in mind for next year. A quote from one of the ladies: "Enjoyed seeing you at Rapid City, both in a.m., and pm women's gathering. Your willingness to share no doubt touches everyone in a positive way to deal with whatever they may be going through or facing." Amen!!

Russ Weaver will be preaching next Sunday, February 7th at 11 am in the Civic Center Theatre. My husband, Mark Eaton, and I will share our testimony; Stringbean and his family and Keenie Word will be singing.

If you are in the area, we welcome you to come and then attend the Iron Man competition in the arena.

Wednesday, I will be in Fairburn and Thursday in Edgemont. Saturday I will sing for all the Senior Citizens at Good Samaritan @ 2:30 pm in New Underwood.

My sons E.P. and Samuel are tending to cattle and competing in rodeos, respectively; Mark & I enjoyed our visit with Lucchese in North Hollywood last week and our time with his daughter Tara and son Kyle at Marine Corps graduation in San Diego.

We have had several requests for Barry Ward's contact information. Here it is:Barry Ward303-648-3547www.barrywardmusic.com

May God bless you always!!!!

Juggling a yogurt and a coffee and a laptop at 29,000 feet

Hi Everyone!
Just a short note to say hi. Mark and I are on the plane headed to our Oklahoma home.

We've been in Seattle for a couple of days taking care of his mom Anna, paying bills, and visiting friends. When we get home, we'll hit the ground running…moving into the new house (which entails getting rid of some of MY stuff - have I mentioned I'm a pack rat?)

We will be in Enid, OK on Thursday at Chisholm Trail Cowboy Church beginning at 7pm (Winter Livestock Auction, 2 miles west of Enid on Hwy 412). Pastor Dan O'Daniel will provide the message and I will sing….AND we are filming for Cowboy Church tv.

My gosh! it's such a small world. When we were going down the airplane aisle just a few minutes ago, I saw a man with an Oklahoma Farm Bureau cap on his head. When I asked where he was from, he said, "Oklahoma". (I figured that) "Where in Oklahoma?" He said, "Enid". I invited him and his wife to the concert on Thursday. The same thing happened in Cancun, Mexico while we were on our honeymoon. I saw a man in a t-shirt with a drawing of the state of Oklahoma on the back (Enid pinpointed). Of course, we walked up and struck up a conversation…and invited them to the concert. It is TRULY a small world! Come see us at Enid on Thursday!

My daughter, Lucchese has moved into her own apartment; my oldest son, E.P. is pre-conditioning cattle in very cold temps; my youngest, Samuel is competing in rodeo. Mark's youngest daughter, Tara, and her husband Daniel are finishing up school in the Northeast; his son, Kyle will graduate from Marine Corps boot camp the end of this month; and his eldest daughter, Talia turned 30 today! We are very proud of our children.

The Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo in Rapid City, SD is coming up January 31…Service in the theatre at 11am. At 5pm, again in the theatre, for a women's get together. I am so excited about this event! Kelli Word and I have talked about a gathering of this sort for years, and now, it's going to happen. So ladies, plan to join us in the theatre at 5pm! Joni Harms from Canby, OR will be singing and sharing her stories, I will sing, and Keenie Word will also be sharing her talent. There will also be a special testimony. Russ Weaver will join us the next Sunday for Cowboy Church, 11am in the theatre.

After Christmas, Mark and I were able to spend our honeymoon in Cancun with Reba and her husband Narvel and all their family. What a great time to get to know Mark more and him to get to know my family. Thanksgiving and Christmas were both spent getting to know our respective families in Oklahoma and Washington. Mark is slowly getting used to my dialect…..

We appreciate your support as we find out what God has in store for us. We pray that the opportunites that open up would be used to the best of both of our gifts and talents and that we will stay in the center of what God has for us to do.

Better go for now…juggling a yogurt and a coffee and a laptop computer in the middle seat at 29,000 feet. God bless you and I hope to see you soon. Can't wait for you to meet Mark.

In Christ,
Susie

Merry Christmas to you!!!

It's a really nice day here in Oklahoma...hard to believe it's the first day of winter!! I want those of you who are in our local area to know that we will have Cowboy Church at Limestone Gap this Tuesday night...supper at 6:30 and church at 7:00. I'd love for you to meet Mark and welcome him to our area.

Most of you already know that I married Mark Eaton on December 12 in Cannon Beach, Oregon..we are adjusting to married life and having a great time. We will split our time between Washington and Oklahoma and right now we are finishing up the last details of the house...trying to move in.

We went to Erath County Cowboy Church in Stephenville, TX yesterday and had a full house. I was there one year ago today and it's amazing how the cowboy churches are growing in numbers and in vitality. Saw lots of friends who I've known for at least 30 years in the rodeo world and it was great getting to see them.

Thank you for continuing to support Cowboy Church on RFD tv. Because of your support, we are able to continue to be on the air. I love it when people respond about the show and how they are blessed to be able to watch. Thanks to Russ Weaver for contiuing to share the Word with us and especially to our film crew, Jimmy Barnes & Ray Dale. Huge blessings on Jim & Ruth Ann Odle who celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary on December 18! You've been a blessing to all of us.

We will be celebrating Christmas with Oklahoma cousins on Wednesday, and then flying to Washington on Thursday to celebrate with Mark's family. We hope that your Christmas is warm, inviting, full of visiting with family and friends around the most popular and joyous occasion in history...Christ's birth.

God's richest blessings to you and yours,

Susie & (a most joyous) Mark
