Roadside fun, driving from Celebrate Freedom in Dallas to Louisiana.

One of the songs on our CD is called “broadcast”.  The chorus of the song says…”We’re gonna BROADCAST all over the world, that You are God and You are good”.  Here’s a video of our friends Mike and Jen’s little girls putting their own spin on it…throw your fist in the air and get ready to “PROTEST!!!”

“Next to the word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world. It controls our thoughts, minds hearts, and spirits….a person who…does not regard music as a marvelous creation of God…does not deserve to be called a human being; he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs.”
-MARTIN LUTHER

Wow…

So as you know, we were up in Wayne, Pennsylvania this last Monday playing a concert at the East Coast Worship Summit. We had a great flight up and the show was really great. Steve was able to speak from his heart during the set and really minister to people. We connected with the people almost instantly. Aside from the worship, the highlight for me came AFTER the concert was over. I walked into the green room and there sat a man named Chester Thompson.

If you’re a drummer you know who that is instantly. If not, let me fill ya in. He toured for years as a part Genesis with Phil Collins. He is an incredible drummer to say the least. I am SOOO glad I didn’t see him before I played. There’s no way I would’ve felt totally relaxed. He is the man for sure. BUT, the greatest thing about him was that you would’ve had no clue that he was so talented, or that he had been a part of so many great musical events. I sat and talked with me for a while and was so open and willing to answer my questions. It was a serious geek moment for me. Last but most definitely not least, he loves God. It was so great to get to hear that first hand. K. I’m out.

Last night we played a worship concert at the East Coast Worship Summit.. attended by worship leaders from around the Pennsylvania area. It was a great night.

The batteries died in my electric guitar pack…my acoustic guitar freeked out to the point of being unplayable.. so I led from the piano a large portion of the night. It was really strange for me but really intense as well…it stretched me and I had a really special worship experience as a result.

we’re on the outskirts of west Philly…

“iiiiiiin west phillidelphia born and raised….” ring any bells?

This year was the first year I’ve ever really made plans to celebrate this awesome holiday. I met up with a guy named James David Carter (a great buddy of mine and the bands…check him out at http://www.myspace.com/jamesdavidcarter) , and he, a group of his friends, and I went to the Braves game to celebrate his B-Day. We all witnessed a 7 to 3 WIN for the good guys. It was beautiful. It was ridiculously HOTTTTTT, but awesome either way. After that we went to the Cheesecake Factory and let me tell you…if cheesecake is a part if the name…trust them and go ahead and try a piece…or 2. It’s almost sinful I’m sure of it, but that place straight knows how to help you get your munch on for sure. Then, we went bowling. For those of you that know me, you know that I am a terrible…I MEAN T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E. Something about getting a round piece of marble down a slick wooden slab just doesn’t click with me too well. I DID however bowl the best game of my life…134. That’s right. The next game was like a 74, but it’s the first one that counts right?!! Anyway, I got to hang out with some good friends and make a few new ones on my memorial day. It was nice.

On a serious note, I heard someone on talk radio say today that we shouldn’t say “happy memorial day” because there was nothing “happy” about remembering fallen soldiers. I TOTALLY disagree. As an American, I am VERY proud of the sacrifice the men and women have made and continue to make for our country. Is it “happy” to loose a soldier?? Of course not, but the freedom that comes with that sacrifice is something worth being “happy” about. I want to thank EVERY man and woman who have EVER served in our military. You guys are heros.
