When at home or on the road, Theresa and I search out Mexican restaurants.  We have found some of the best in Texas and New Mexico.  Although, some times the salsa is so hot in the southwest we can’t hardly handle it.  Here is a picture of Theresa here close to home at one of our favorite places.  Theresa is a great cook, but it is still nice to just go out and eat when we are home.  Where are the best Mexican restaurants around the country?  Let us know and we will look them up when we are on our travels!  Theresa came in the office while I was writing this and she said “Every time you write a blog about me, it is always about food”.  What can I say?  If the shoe fits wear it!

It’s that time again and after an extra long and cold winter, we welcome Spring here in Ohio and the annual Wild Turkey Season.  My good friend, Mike Dean came up from West Virginia again to hunt with me.  As usual, he wants me to give him some “tips” on calling these awesome birds.  I usually let him in on some of my secrets.  As you can see, we were successful once again.  We always have a good time.  How many of you have taken your Turkeys so far?  Send in some photos!  Are the Turkeys gobbling on the roosts in your area?  Some mornings they are here, and some times they are not.  Good Luck to all of you!

In 1981 my sister, Geniece Spencer Ingold wrote a song for The Spencer’s 8th album.  The song was “IN MY ROBE OF WHITE”.  This was the album that broke the Spencer Family into mainstream Gospel radio.  This record also included the song I wrote, “When I Crossed That River” that accually was the first “Hit” song we had, followed by Geniece’s song.  Soon after we released In My Robe of White, we did a concert with Gold City and they heard the song and immediately  wanted to record it.  The song went to number 3 on the charts for Gold City.  It became one of their signature songs.  Brian Free and Assurance still sing it to this day.  

Last summer when I was in the studio recording my new album with producer Kevin Ward, Geniece came to me with her latest song.  I told her I had already done the tracks on my new CD but I liked it enough to go back to Nashville.  Geniece went with Theresa and I and helped get the right “feel” on this song.  It is track number 10 on my “FRESH AWAKENING” album and is now available to radio around the world through Radioactiveairplay.com.  Call your local radio station and request “New Horizon” by Wade Spencer today.    

My wife Theresa learned to make bread while on a 3 month mission trip to Canada when she was 17.  Cinnamon bread is her specialty.  She hadn’t made it for a while but decided to make some last week.  Theresa enjoys her time in the kitchen when we are not on the road, and I enjoy the good “stuff” she comes up with.  She took one of these loaves to Pastor Strachen at our church last Wednesday night.  He is from Canada, (we’ll excuse him for that) but he knows good bread when he sees it.  She is a wonderful cook.  Have you met my wife at my concerts or talked with her on the phone while booking a date?  Everyone loves Theresa!

My good friend, Emmanuel Ndolimana sent me this picture of a Baptizing he conducted on Christmas Day!  He Baptized 16 people that day.  He is standing on the rock to the left with a bible in his hands.  I thought you all would enjoy this picture taken in the beautiful country of Rwanda, Africa.  Emmanuel survived the genecide in 1994 as a fifteen year old boy.  When I was in Rwanda, I asked Emmanuel why he thought God allowed him to survive when 1,000,000 people were killed in 90 days.  He answered without hesitation and said “BECAUSE GOD HAD A PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE.”  Emmanuel was our interpreter when we ministered in the prisons, schools, and orphanages in February, 2008.  He has found his purpose and is truly fulfilling it as he goes about the countries of Burundi and Rwanda preaching in the prisons, schools, and where ever God leads him.  Pray for Emmanuel as he has a hard job with many hinderances awaiting him.  If any of you would like to help Emmanuel financially, email me and I will get your donation to him.  God will bless you for it!
