I have not got to meet every one of these guys. However Wyatt Nations (AKA my future husband) speaks very highly of them. I have listened to their music and watched them on Facebook for over a year. They are one amazing group of guys. I am looking forward to the day we do an event together.

Wyatt has recorded two of their songs that Eugene Montgomery wrote.

Too Busy and WWJD!

BIO FROM THE BAGGY BOTTOM BOYS

The Baggy Bottom Boys are a Country Gospel Music Ministry, dedicated in serving our Lord Jesus Christ and to glorify His Name with the talents He has given us. We lift Him up and praise His Name whenever and wherever He leads us.We Believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven,We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He came into the world to die for us ,and rose from the dead on the third day, so that we can have eternal life with Him.We believe that you must have a personal relationship with Him. You must confess to Him that you are a sinner and ask Him to forgive your sin and ask Him to come into your heart and save you. Believers baptism follows salvation which symbolizes His death ,burial, and ressurection. Our faith and hope is in Jesus Christ.
Dedicated to spreading God’s word through their music has become more rewarding than they could have ever imagined. The groups founder and leader Eugene Montgomery, started with a passion for music from a legacy that was left by his dad. They have been inspired by their christian families and friends, loved by all their audiences, and blessed to have met so many wonderful people with a love for Jesus Christ. Each one of them have a deep love for Country Gospel Music. And, through the message of their songs, it is their desire for people to come to know Christ, and to have a close relationship with Him. “We can relate the songs to our lives and enjoy singing them, and seeing others relate too”. “Just being able to minister thru song is such a great and rewarding experience”. God continues to use them in ways they never thought possible. He has opened many doors and they have had the opportunity to go to many different kinds of churches and fellowship with such loving christian people. “People respond to Country Gospel Music because the songs are about things in life that most people understand”. Wherever God leads them is where they go and enjoy it while having fun.They are all truly good friends and they all have the same goal: To see Christ Glorifyed through their personal testimonies and talents to encourage others to live for Jesus Christ.

How long have you been writing and singing Country Gospel Music?

I started writing and singing country gospel music in 2006 .

Do you write all of your music?

I have written the words and music to 21 songs, and another 12 songs we have recorded I have written the music to. These were songs that friends of mine had given me words to . Some were poems others were written to be a song but had no music. They just felt like we could do something with them and we did. The words had a great message in them and I was thrilled to get them. I come up with a melody and arrange the words, Steve comes up with a bass line and Jerry comes up with the lead break. The friends that shared their songs with me included David Hancock, Bob Montgomery, Janice Hutto, Bill Donnely, Chris Hubbard, Dorman Pullen, J.D. Walters, and my wife Sandra Montgomery. We also sing a lot of older hymns that everyone loves.

Where did the name Baggy Bottom Boys come from?

We were asked to sing 4 songs at our church to kick off a Gospel Fest where several groups and indivduals would be singing. So we thought it would be funny if we dressed up in overalls and 3 of us lived in Hideaway Bay, so we thought it would be funny to be called ” The Hideaway Bay Baggy Bottom Boys”. We later dropped the Hideaway Bay part because it was too much of a tongue twister LOL. As it turned out about 300 people showed up from several churches, and I began getting calls to come sing at their church. They are still calling 10 years later. God took our funny little joke and began to use it for His glory. We share our testimonies about how we came to know Jesus Christ as our Savior and we sing about it in our songs and I believe that is why God has blessed our ministry.

Who are the Baggy Bottom Boys?

The Baggy Bottom Boys consist of Paul Bolton singing bass, Glenn Wylie singing tenor, Steve Doody playing bass guitar, Jerry Robinson playing lead guitar, and myself, Eugene Montgomery playing rhythm guitar and singing lead.

How long have y’all been together as a group?

We 5 have been together since 2008 and we all believe that the Lord put us together. Each of us has a different personality but we all have the same calling.

Do you sing on your own or always with the group?

I always sing with the Baggy Bottom Boys. Only on a few occasions have I sang without them. We are booked pretty much every week of the year. We already have 46 bookings for 2016 , so that keeps us pretty busy . Also we are working on a new CD. Occasionally we get a week or two off and try to enjoy that time.

What is a funny story you can share with us about being on the road or on stage?

One Sunday morning I woke up with the police knocking on my door. I jumped up and went to the door, The officer was checking to see if I was alright. I said yes sir I’m fine, He said well there’s about 500 people at the Cowboy Church worried about you. I looked at the clock and the first service was just starting ! I made it for the second service ! It was funny afterward but boy it wasn’t funny at the time . The Boys got a friend of ours at the church to sing with them for the first service, then when I got there they all laughed and made a big announcement that I was alive and well .

Then one Sunday I was about to sing God on the Mountain and I was telling how God is always there for us whether we are up on the mountain or down in the valley, and about that time I tripped over a step on the stage and fell down, I hopped up and said well I was down , now I’m up !

What is the most difficult situations you face out there on the roads?

The most difficult situations we face on the roads are of course the traffic these days and trying to find the churches we are going to. Other difficult situations are getting the sound set in places with terrible acoustics, such as a gym !

If you could share three tips with other artist that would encourage them to keep pushing forward what would those be?

(a) If it is in God’s plan for you to minister through your music, He will make it happen , Not You. (b) sing songs that speak to your heart, that have a message that you want to share with others. (c) I do not believe that I am a good singer, but I do the best that I can, and that is all God wants us to do. The rest is up to the Lord. Share the gospel then look and listen to see what the Lord is doing with it and you will be surprised . He can take nothing and make something out of it.

Thank you Eugene Montgomery for this interview and letting us be a part of your ministry.

His Dreams Are Bigger Than Mine!

I just finished a blog on my Mending Fences N Hearts site about some of my dreams. Please click on it to see how God has far surpassed my dreams.

http://mendingfencesnhearts.weebly.com/kickn-it-java-style/cowgirl-dreams-come-true
God has placed me right in the middle of His dreams for my life! I could never have dreamed this big. And what is really great is this is just the beginning.

I just started as a dj for Inspirational Country Radio 94.1. I have my very own program M-F night.

I have people asking for my help with their social media and that is ALL GOD! He has taught me so much in this area.
I am still part of the God Squad with Carol and Hannah Hogner and Michele Nolte. We are doing weekly bible studies and growing closer. That’s is such a God kiss.
The biggest one yet is I am marrying my God Man! Wyatt Nations and I will be getting married in April. He sings Christian Country music and our ministries are becoming a ministry!! How much better can it get!

I have a new program on my computer because of the new dj position. This means I can launch my KIJS with Cassie as a syndicated program. I will be working on all that!

I have written a book that will be published. However I do need prayer on that one. I have to type it all out again because the program it was under messed it up. ?.

So as you can see all this is far more than I ever dreamed. ❤️

Love Is Not WAM

True love is when you care about someone else’s needs more than you do your own.

“I pray for you more than I do myself” Diary Of The Mad Black Woman

Love is not WAM. What About Me?

It has taken me a long time to know what real love is. I was more concerned with feeling loved and getting shown love than showing it!

I found out what love is! It is God! It is John 3:16

John 3:16 God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him won’t perish but will have eternal life.

I was watching Wynonna one day on a show and the power of God came into my apartment and the Love of God. I realized that so many selfish and crazy choices I had made was me looking for love. I am so grateful He has shown me and continues to show me through His grace and those He has placed in my life for me to love.
Did you know this “Love Holiday” that we all get so worked up about because we are not receiving flowers or candy or have a “Valentine” was originated in honor of a St Valentine? I did a study on the history of this Holiday. There are many encounters and each one I read was a selfless story of a man who did acts of kidneys and shared Gods love in “secret”. One encounter I read said that he was beheaded for marrying Christian Couples. Back during these ages the Roman Catholic Church and the Christian Church were enemies.

Now that you think about Valentines the “Love” Holiday in this manner and see that it was in honor of a selfless love based on Gods love, mayb we can decide to be a Valentine!

So let’s make this Valentines a true Love Holiday and carry it into everyday life. No more WAM!

Like a Sunflower

On a trip to Kansas with a friend we saw a field of Sunflowers. I started talking about how I always wanted to have my photo taken in a field of sunflowers and he said “I read or heard that they follow the sunlight”. I said “wow that’s so cool I will have to blog about that for sure”. I made myself a note and then forgot about this.

This morning I was thinking about somethings and remembered the sunflower. I began to think about how dark the world around us appears to be getting and how we have to stay focused on the light.

John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

I began to read about the sunflowers this morning and I found it so interesting.

“The flower head of a young sunflower tracks the arc of the sun as it moves across the sky, but the flower head of a mature sunflower typically faces east.”http://homeguides.sfgate.com/sunflower-move-73855.html

When we are young in the Lord we crave and are excited about everything we can soak up about God. We excitedly attend church, read His word and listen to anyone and and everyone we can that might shed “light” on who He is. As we mature we become more steady and we stand strong in what we know to be the truth and the “light” in our life.

Have you ever driven past a field of sunflowers when the sun is shining on it? It appears the entire field of flowers is radiating the light!! When we are radiating His “light” we maybe a sunflower but we become a beam of His Light!!

Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

I have to say this was probably the fact that excited me the most that I learned this morning. ” Sunflowers in a field turn their flower heads in unison.” http://homeguides.sfgate.com/sunflower-move-73855.html

There is power in unity! If one of those sunflowers refuses to follow the light and was to die it would start a chain reaction. When a plant begins to die and decay if it is not removed from the others the leaves and the stem that is dead sucks the life out of the plants around it.

Ephesians 4:11-15 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

God wants us all to work together, using our individual, unique, and personal gifts. He wants us to bring the world the Truth in LOVE!

What is the truth you ask? The same ONE who is the LIGHT of the World.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Today my prayer is to be like the sunflower who hungers for and feeds off the “Light” then radiates it back for the world to see!
