In Dallas, GA on the 29th

In the late 80's-early 90's Jacob's Trouble hit the main arena in the Christian market. They were high energy, with a sound that reminded many of The Beatles or The Monkees. I met Mark Blackburn a few years later and through different events began playing with Mark at a few shows here and there. Later Mark produced my second project called Strange and Wonderful. Turn the clock ahead all the years and Mark is the senior pastor of RealLife Church, a new church plant.

This weekend I will be playing at Area 251 on Saurday night. Area 251 is the concert arm of the church. I am excited to be heading to Dallas! Better yet, I will be leading Reallife on Sunday morning during their praise time. AWESOME!

Check out the new church plant if you are around the Dallas, Georgia area. You can find them here.

Honduras Bound!

I am headed to Comoyagua, Honduras this coming February 18-25, 2012. I will be going with other members of Forest Park Community Church, my home church.

We will set up a medical clinic, complete with a pharmacy near Comoyagua in some local churches. We’ll also have the opportunity to present the gospel as we minister to the physical needs of folks who rarely, if ever see a physician or nurse.

We will be staying with our hosts, Terry and Arlene Dupont who have been missionaries in Central America since 1998. They operate Openeyes Ministries in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras and San Salvador.

The cost will be $1450 per person will will include all travel, lodging and food (except meals while traveling), and travel to Louisville International Airport. $650 of that is due by November 13!

If anyone desires to help in this ministry financially, please make checks out to Forest Park Community Church. Please DO NOT fill in the memo note on the check, BUT on a seperate sheet let them know it is to be designated towards my portion of the trip.

Mail your checks to:
6623 Rockview Way
Louisville, KY 40299

If you will partner with us on this trip through prayer, I would appreciate a note and contact address to keep you informed.

You Can Call On Him

I have put up a song at Indieheaven.com on FanFaves. It is called You Can Call on Him. It is a song of encouragmentwherever you are in life. I remember Larry Norman once said, "No one has such a great life that they do not need God." I based this song on his words. Here are mine:

You Can Call on Him
Verse 1:
Some people have all the luck or so it seems
Get anything they want, any desire they dream.
Others seem to fight and scratch just to survive
Do anything it takes to keep themselves alive.

Chorus:
But you can call on Him, no matter where you’ve been
You can call on Him, call no matter where you’ve been
You can call on Him.

Verse 2:
Some people never know the touch of mother’s hand
Never know her loving smile or the joy it sends
Now, some people live a life we can only dream of
Still there is an emptiness
That can only be filled with His love

Life's Struggle of an Old Man










Here is a song of the struggle of a new believer and the flesh.

Old Man
Hey there old man, what are you doin’?
Haven’t I told you what you’re to do
And hey there old man, my life-long good friend
We’ve been through the years with smiles and with tears

Chorus:
And I know it is true,
Yes, I know it is true
I could never be here without you
And though I look dimly in a mirror
I can see so much clearer
The day is drawing nearer
When I won’t be with you

Oh, I love you for the things you do for me
With your ears I can hear, with your eyes I can see
And yet I hate you for so much you have done
You constantly struggle against me
To try to keep me from God’s Son

t00-m0ch,
Chris

Go (A Day in Life)

I just added an old song to my IH page. It is called 'Go (A Day in Life)'. Please check it out.




Silhouette of trees as the sun lays down
Rabbits play chase on an empty playground
Streetlights flicker on, a small town goes to sleep
Little children say, “I pray my soul You’ll keep.”
Chorus:
And as our lives move on and on
One day the Father will look to the Son and He’ll say,
“Go, quickly Son, it’s time to bring Your people home.
Go, quickly Son, and bring them home.
Verse 2:
Teenage sweethearts play on her front porch
Silly games that come from young love’s torch
Her daddy reads the paper in the den
While her momma tucks her brother in…..
Bridge:
Can’t you see the earth as she moans and groans
Water’s broke and labor has begun
We got to set our eyes to the sky
‘Cause our redemption draws nigh……..

California Dreamer

Every morning she wakes up to find it in her mind
As the day presses on it's taking up her time
T.V. commercials talk to her say you gotta get away.
The nights here are so wonderful, but they don't compare to the day
Chorus:
She's California dreamin', she's got California in her mind
Gonna be a big star some day, gonna leave all her troubles behind
She's California dreamin', California is in her eye
Don't know how she'll get there but she'll sure have to give it a try
Verse 2:
Her best friend Jill left last Spring, she writes her once in a while
She says the boys are so pretty here, with their pretty smiles
She says it's eighty degrees round here, almost all through the year
The ocean is blue, you know the sky is too, babe you gotta get out here

Verse 3:
She never made it to California, never seen those Beverly Hills
But she's got her magazines, how they make her feel
She saves her money for a rainy day, one day she'll be on her way
Till then she's spends day and night dreamin' of a better life
