We're going to say hello, that's right, to the nursing homes and the rehabilitation centers.

So get ready to hear your name called and then we're gonna culminate with our Golden Vessel.

Let me see how I'm gonna do this.

I got a lot of papers in my hand.

Allgood.

Alabama.

Allgood, Alabama, hello to you.

Black, Alabama.

Hello to you!

What about Sunbridge Care and Rehabilitation Center in Gardendale?

All right.

Millennium Nursing and Rehabilitation in Huntsville, Alabama.

Hello to you.

Cogburn Healthcare of Mobile.

Thank you so much for your viewing and your support.

We appreciate you and we want you to know it.

We want to encourage you, as always, to eat some of your meal.

Eat as much as you can.

Keep yourself healthy.

Do a little exercise.

You might not be able to do a lot, but do some.

And I want you to know this.

You are not forgotten, okay?

Remember that you are not forgotten.

And now our Golden Vessel salute.

And I'm gonna turn so I can look right in that camera and say hello to Mrs. Hilda A.

Hall.

That's right.

From Mobile, Alabama.

Hello.

She's 94 years young.

Hello!

That's a wonderful thing, Ms. Hilda.

Look at this.

Two children, two grandchildren and one great grand.

You're something else.

Listen, the church, her church, is the Pleasant View Baptist Church.

And she's a deaconess.

She's got a lot of roles she's playing.

She's a missionary.

And this one I like right here.

She's on that kitchen committee.

Uh huh.

She's on that kitchen committee.

And so I'm saying that, and I'm letting everybody know you the best kitchen committee person in the whole United States because when I come through there, I want two pieces of chicken, all right?

Okay.

Now she's also on the Pastor's Aid Board.

Congratulations.

Helping the pastor and supporting her.

And this is something interesting I found out.

She also plays the drums.

She used to play 'em a whole lot when she was at the COGIC Church, but she hadn't been playing as much.

At 94, I think she's gonna reinvent herself and start back playing.

Mrs. Hilda A.

Hall, Mobile, Alabama.

"Unless a man is born again, "he cannot see the Kingdom of God."

The only way one can come to God and experience what it means to be born again is through repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ.

So wherever you are right now, in your car, your house, or any place, repeat after me and say it.

Dear Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner.

I thank You for dying on the cross for my sins.

I invite you into my heart to be Lord of my life.

Save me.

You know what it is.

I almost tripped up there, Race.

Hey but hey, I was doing a graceful hit.

(laughs) All right, all right, the Kleghorns.

How are you?

Good to see you.

- We're doing great.

- Thank you for having us.

- Wow, wow.

- I'm glad to be here.

- Duke, man, listen you guys, I love it when you continue to excel and go higher and higher.

I love it, man.

I am just so glad to be a part of the ministry what you guys are doing.

How mom and dad doing?

- Oh, they're doing great.

My mom, you know, last time we were here, she was facing some health problems.

She is totally cancer-free.

She's totally surgery-free.

You know, we are praising God.

She is.

- Oh wow.

- You know, no more doctor visits.

No more cuts.

She is, you know, praise the Lord.

We are just overjoyed.

- That is great.

That's great.

So how have you been?

Get that mic up, young lady.

- Doing good.

I'm not supposed to talk.

She's supposed to be the one to talk.

- Well what are you doing right now?

- I'm teaching dance.

- You're talking!

(laughs) - I am.

You're right.

Yes sir.

Yes, sir.

- Right, right.

So you guys have been traveling in Europe.

I saw you.

I mean I was traveling with you.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, yeah.

So tell me a little bit about that, Duke.

- Well we, the three of us, the older three, all graduated from Wallace State.

And at the time Race was still a student and they were putting together a big History of Gospel Music Showcase.

And the choir director, Miss Tiffany Richter, a very dear friend and mentor, was like, "Y'all come be involved."

So I played.

I played keys for the show and was the music director and the girls staged the show and were featured soloists and Race was a featured soloist.

And we all danced in the show.

And then she was like, "By the way, we're going to Europe.

"Do y'all want to come do this in Europe with us?"

So we got to go to Germany and Austria and Italy and the Italians love some gospel music.

- Yes.

- And so we got to sing this wonderful gospel music all over the world to people who don't necessarily know this style of music and what this is.

And a lot of the students had never sung like, "I'll Fly Away."

They didn't know "When We All Get to Heaven."

I mean, it was really interesting to watch how this music affected people who were somewhat unchurched.

- I got you.

- So it was really, really great.

- I got you.

Did you get a chance to get into any of the theaters in while you were in Italy?

- We didn't.

- We did not.

We did, we walked past a lot of them.

We had so many... You know, you could just walk for hours and see so much and not ever have to go in any of the buildings.

And just seeing some of that was just once in a lifetime, you know, it was...

It was amazing.

- I got you.

Long way from home.

- Long way from home.

- A lot different from home.

- Yes, yes.

- Yeah.

You know me and my...

I grew up in the bottom in Tuscaloosa, so you know, you get, you know, Italian dressing.

(all laugh) And so I said Duke, I said, "You know, can we have some Italian dressing?"

They said, "What?"

(all laugh) Oil and vinegar.

Oil and vinegar.

Oh yes, indeed.

Well, your music is beautiful.

It's from the heart and keep doing what you're doing.

Don't you dare stop.

- Yes sir.

- If anybody wanna stop you, grab 'em by the back and say you are not going to stop.

- Yes sir.

Then I go to Decatur and teach three year olds up through 18 year olds until nine o'clock at night.

So my day is children-filled, always, always.
