Monday, July 14, 2008The Story of our Meadowlark Song
In 2002, we built our first log home in the West Meadows Christian community in Moravian Falls, North Carolina. While in the area, we met Ray and Denise Hughes, who were pastors at the Wilkesboro church for a season. Because he is a funny guy, and we like humor, we became good friends. A few years later, Ray moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he professionally recorded a number of albums of his bluegrass music.
Ray and his team travel worldwide ministering in music and encouragement. In June, 2007, he and his team were holding meetings in Miles City, Montana. Outside his motor home on a fence post, a western meadowlark would sing to his Creator each morning. Being inspired, Ray wrote the meadowlark song and presented it to the pastor. The pastor felt this is a song for the next place Ray is visiting, having no knowledge of us or even the details of where Ray is going.
Ray and his team then drove to Libby, Montana, to our community, and upon arriving, saw our Meadowlark Log Homes sign and realized the divine nature of this very special song given to him from God. Of course we feel very blessed and honored with the whole thing. It is the official song of Meadowlark Log Homes. You can listen to it by clicking the bird on the main page.
