a musician, singer, song writer, and a blog
I will be in concert with Belinda Jane on November 7th, 2009. This will be in Louisville, KY at 7pm at Forest Park Community Church. Come join us for a great time!
The end of Summer is upon us.....2009 is flying right along. I got home, August 10, last Monday night ending a nice little Summer tour. I had a blast sharing the music from the Trust CD and also visited some older songs, some I recorded with the 'Strange and Wonderful' project and others I never recorded. This week I put the songs from the ' Strange and Wonderful ' project up on my indieheaven page. Go check them out.
Thanks for praying for me while I was on the road. I had some really wonderful times, meeting folks for the very first time and also crossing the paths of people I have not seen for many years. One special event was singing at Concord Baptist Church in Clermont, GA which is in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains. I sang the song 'Trust' with their orchestra and choir....and it was really amazing. Got to hang out and fellowship with friends I have not seen for maybe 20 years, some who were very instrumental in me coming to know Christ as my Lord and Savior. It was the last date of my trip and really encouraged me. Thanks again for your prayers and encouragement. You are a vital part of this team.
What is next? I am putting together several songs....7 or 8....of old hymns that I have re-arranged and perhaps one or two Indonesian songs I have always loved from my mission trips. That will be out this year. I will keep you posted on that.
Please go check out the new 'older' music on my IH page.

God bless you!

Hope we all have a great week in worship, remembering.......Romans 12:1 "...in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

song: That's Why
Psalm 30
1 I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, and have not let my enemies rejoice over me. 2 O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me. 3 O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit. 4 Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name. 5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning. 6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved." 7 O LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You hid Your face, I was dismayed. 8 To You, O LORD, I called, and to the Lord I made supplication: 9 What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness? 10 "Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me; O LORD, be my helper." 11 "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, 12 That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

I have the privilege to work with 1st Baptist Church of Waynesville, NC this month. I will be leading their Winter retreat at Lookup Lodge Retreat in Travelers Rest, South Carolina. The theme of the weekend will be '
Strange and Wonderful ' based on the song. Anyone who knows me know....I love the mountains and we will be nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains at Lookup Lodge. I am just pumped to be with the group coming from Wayesville First Baptist, seeing some onld friends once again, and being in the mountains is a like icing on the cake!

Lots of stuff happening around here! First of all, Kentucky (and much of the Mid-West) have been under a huge Winter/Ice storm for the last 8 days. It has become the biggest storm in KY history. More people out of power than ever before. But LG&E are on their game. The place looks like a war zone with all the downed trees and power lines. The next few days are suppose to warm up.
Besides all that, my home church, Forest Park Community Church, has been moving to a larger facility for the last month. Check out the story in Louisville's Courier Journal. We should be in by March 1st(ok maybe the 15th).
It has been fun transfering a traditional looking building into our 'home'. But a whole lotta work. Check out our website if you get a chance.
ANd just to send a little plug out about the CIA Summit.....I am pumped to go to my 3rd Summit. It is a great place to get encouragement, grab some wisdom and build relationships with other artists trying to change their world for Christ. I will surely be headed down to Nashville, TN at the end of March....God willing, of course! Check out the news at Indieheaven!
