Hello Again...

I have been taking a little blog break, but I am back now and fired up about it. Lee and I finished up in the studio and I can't wait for the final product. Lee will be releasing the record sometime next year. "What does the record sound like?" has been the question …

The Studio

We are still in the studio rockin it, but this is our last week. We will be home soon, thanks for the prayers and support.

My concerns with doing a worship record...

I did not want to work on a record that was the "same ole' same". I am a rocker, I would not do good at compiling songs that are hookless and simple with poorly constructed lyrics and watered down musical parts. I did not want to spend my time doing a record that …

Gentlemen, start your engines...

So I spent most of this week in Griffin, GA. And I have two more weeks out here. Lee McDerment and I are working on his new record. We aren't but a few miles from Atlanta Motor Speedway and some Nascar race is happening this weekend. Griffin is around 60,000 people …

sometimes hard to do...

Proverbs 15:1 "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." This is a very cool proverb. I should try and put this into practice more often.

Someday...

There was a verse today in my bible journey that really shook me. Deuteronomy 6:12, "Be careful not to forget the Lord..."
This got me thinking about my kid (who currently resides in my wife's belly region). In February, Jayce will pop out on the scene and I pray …

I need your help, yes you...

What up guys, here is what I need. I overhear people talking all the time about how they wish blah blah blah would be played during the worship service, or how they hate hearing blah blah blah... so now is your time to contribute more than just words. I want anyone …

Get your head out of your ...

Numbers 22: 21 - 41... There is this guy in the book of Numbers named Balaam. God tells him to go to the metropolis of Moab, but to listen specifically to what God wants Balaam to do. As the story progresses it gets pretty wild - he has a night rider moment - his …

Word of mouth...

I was reading in 2 Chronicles today and saw this... "When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's great fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions." I see a couple of things in this passage:

I first think it is awesome that a queen from a different …

Joshua the Stud...

Joshua 6:1 really challenged me today, check this out... I won't give you the back story, but know that Josh and his army marched to Jericho. Jericho was a city with a huge wall surrounding it as its defense. God gave Josh a plan to overtake the city. This plan was …

Whoa...

Whoa, is right. This week has been amazing, let me share...
1. Sunday - It was a great day. Perry laid it down and our Game Time Series seems to be building some excellent unity and excitement within our church body.
2. Monday - Some of the guys from Elevation …

Wonderful love...

"Praise be to the Lord, for he showed his wonderful love to me," Psalms 31:2. Wow, what a statement. That pumps me up.

Some thoughts...

O.K. here's some stuff I've been thinking about today...

"...fresh, now, progress us toward something awesome, take it to the next level." This is a quote my boss told me when I first started at Newspring. I love this quote. But with this quote there is action …

POUNCE!!!

Friday night was off the hook! Let me take a little time today and share my enthusiasm and excitement for a little card game called POUNCE. Some of you may know a game called NERTZ that is very similar to Pounce, but there is no substitution for the real thing. …

Put your clothes on...

So I have been singing on stages for several years now. Currently I sing at Newspring and before this, I was a singer in the rock band Aerosmith. Just kidding, I was in a band called http://www.myspace.com/honestly"> Honestly. Anyways, occasionally I would have this reoccurring dream and it goes …

Set List Action...

So here is the set list from Sunday:
1. Your Grace Is Enough
2. Hosanna/For All Those Who Are To Come
3. My Chains are Gone
4. Everlasting God
What a blast! God did some awesome stuff today. Perry spoke about "baptism". This next Saturday we are having a …

No whining!

When I first moved to Georgia a few years back, I worked for this guy who cut down trees. Seriously, it was probably the hardest job I have ever done. Jim (the guy who owned the company), would take me for breakfast on our way to a job. The restaurant was called "Our …

Pirate or Ninja?

I always thought I was more of a ninja type of guy, but today got me thinking... and I am pretty sure I am a pirate. Let me explain. Ninjas, although awesome are pretty secretive. Yes, they go around righting wrong and kickin butt; however, they usually take care of …

March 6th, 2001...

This month has been Awesome! I have been praying lately that God would expand my view of Him, like the Bible story days, you know, just really blow my mind. And He has. We have seen over 800 people accept Christ as their Savior this month at http://www.newspring.cc"> Newspring - I mean close …
