On the road...

I thought we should start recording a little bit of video while we're traveling. We're new at this, so forgive us for the lack of showmanship. Maybe we'll get a better camera soon that will make this easier ... right now there are twenty steps just to post a video!

Who are you becoming?

There is a junior high school right across the street from our house. (recently built, and frankly I wish it wasn't there by the way, but that is another story). I was driving by the school today, and I saw a bunch of kids standing around, waiting for their parents to …

Ode to St. Paul's EYC

Oh what a sad day
When After the Chase couldn't fly away
To Shreveport is where they had wished to go
To be with a special group that they know
But blasted Ike reared it's head
And dreams of seeing friends seemed to be dead
And now here we are so sad and blue
St. Paul's EYC …

Tour Update

We just got back from a weekend in Oregon. We played in Mt. Shasta on Friday, Portland on Sat, and Sweet Home on Sun. I just wanted to share an article that someone wrote about our Friday night experience at a small coffeehouse called The Coffee Connection. It's a …

Thanksgiving in LA - 2 years ago

Here is an old blog from Nov 2006 that we had on Xanga - now we're blogging here, and I only wrote two things on that other blog, so I thought I would move it over here:

I went to visit my grandmother a few weeks ago in Los Angeles. I slept in the guest room that she keeps nice and clean downstairs. It was very strange to lay alone, asleep in the guest room downstairs in her house, where 10 years ago my grandfather lay dying. I stared …

I got into another environmental discussion. I think this is starting to become a passion of mine. Uh oh.

The other "Christian" viewpoint that came up when we began discussing this issue was "well, this is all going to come to an end soon anyway - God is going to wipe …

Christian Environmentalist?

I got sick a few weeks ago- sore throat, fever, followed by nasty congestion. It was strange to feel the moment the tickle started in my throat. Normally I really can't tell the moment I got sick, but I sure did this time. Both nostrils plugged up with congestion, …

Make Me New CD Release Concert

Last night was a blast - we had a great CD release concert. Many thanks to all who came. We got some video footage and pictures that we will be putting up in a few days. It was a wonderful time of music, art, and fellowship. Now it's time to hit the road with the new CD!

Tuesday

It's morning now and the shock still hasn't worn off...

Late last night our worship pastor called to let us know that our electric guitar player died of a massive heart attack while on stage playing worship music at the mission. Wow!...

Well, he wasn't really "our" guitar …

We just got our new CDs in!

Santa Jenna

Yesterday I felt something like a Fairy God Mother or Santa Clause while delivering all of the pre-ordered "Make Me New" CDs. I was so full of joy being able to give these gifts. Not just because they were gifts but because we had prayed over this music and knew that …
