Rush of Fools Trailer Once Was Lost and Now Is Found
On Monday we asked you to pray about Rush of Fools losing their trailer with all of their performance gear inside. We’ll, I guess technically the word “losing” can be replaced with “stolen”.

Rush of Fools Trailer Stolen
This is not the wedding present that Rush Of Fools lead singer Wes and his new bride Michelle were looking for before their wedding this past Saturday. Our good friend Andrew Patton of Patton House Entertainment has sent us this e-mail prayer request for Rush of Fools…

Insurance will cover some of the costs, but due to recent purchases and additions to the gear, the value lost is over $60,000.
