Wow… it’s 2009.

-Good day today at Foothills Toccoa. It’s a great church that meets in a gym and loves Jesus. I hope to be back there SOON.
-Got to lead with a guy I knew back in the days of working in the music store. He has since turned his life around and is SOLD OUT for Jesus. It was a joy.
-Set list from this morning:
:Sing Sing Sing – Tomlin
:Freedom Song – Desperation Band
:All We Need – Hall
:God of This City – Tomlin
-Got to play acoustic for the first time in about 6 months. LOVED IT! The Tacoma sounds as good as ever (even after getting the headstock broken off last year).
-I’m excited about lunch with a couple of the pastors from Foothills on Tuesday. Good things are happening!
-We had dinner with friends tonight. They love us and we love them dearly. I value them SO MUCH and am glad they’re in our lives.
-We had so much fun with them tonight, we’re doing it again tomorrow night! Except this time we’re gonna throw some Scrabble in the mix… yeah!
-I’m pumped about getting to my friend Jeff next week. I’m flying up there Wednesday and staying through the next Monday. Gonna “Secret Shopper” his church on Sunday morning and brainstorm ideas on how to take it to the next level.
-Haha, I know it seems like I’m excited about a lot this week, but I am.
-I’m excited about getting to play with Eric at Foothills Seneca this coming week. He’s great leader with such an original style and enthusiasm. Good man of God.
-So, obviously, we’re back from our trip. 2 weeks from home, and I have to say, I enjoyed being able to sleep in my own bed last night!

That’s enough for tonight. But I do have confession… a bunch of you have been asking about the Weight Loss Journey. Well, the answer is, I suck. I have gained weight and lost motivation. BUT I’M GONNA PRESS THROUGH. Confessions and new pics and weight to come TOMORROW.
Check it out and leave me some encouragement or some butt-kicking advice… I need both.

Night!

So it’s 6:48a.

I got back home from North Carolina, Virginia, NYC, Pennsylvania, & Virginia again at about 5a.
I’ve since been practicing for rehearsal this morning (which is at 8.30a), doing laundry, and mindlessly trying to find ways not to go to sleep. A shower is next, and then to Toccoa. I’ll be back to update tonight with pics from our trip and a couple funny stories… be looking forward to it.
I’m also in the process of renewing the look of the blog (mindless ways to stay awake, remember), so bear with me.

Good morning.

WOW! ALMOST CHRISTMAS!

-My family and I leave for a whirlwind two weeks tomorrow morning.
—First to Lincolnton, NC to be with Candice’s family from Monday night through Friday morning (26th).
—Then to Roanoke, VA to be with my family from Friday afternoon through Wednesday morning (31st).
—Then to TIMES SQUARE NYC FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE! We have a friend up there so free place to stay and carpooling so basically nothing for gas.
—Then back to VA to pick up the baby on Friday morning (2nd).
—Then back to SC to get a good night’s sleep on Friday night (2nd).
—Then to Foothills Toccoa to practice Saturday afternoon.
—CRASH SATURDAY ALL DAY! Unpack, wash clothes, etc.
—First day at Foothills Toccoa on the 4th!
—Wow… that’s a wicked two weeks, but it’ll be worth it.
-Speaking of Foothills, I put together my first worship set since the end of July… that’s 5 months! I’ve led worship in the meantime, but it’s always been a guest thing where the songs were already chosen.
-Picking songs for a new place is always weird, considering you don’t know what songs that they have/haven’t been doing. I chose the best I could and the worship Pastor is gonna get back to me about which ones are familiar.
-I’m excited about the week of the 11th or the 18th. I’m (hopefully) going to visit a great friend in Indiana. Gonna go hang out with him and his family, and also evaluate the new stuff that’s happening at his church. STOKED ABOUT THIS!!
-I have to drive tomorrow, so I’m cutting this short and hitting the hay. G’night and make sure to follow my Twitter the next couple of weeks. Craziness, here we come!!

Also, I’ve downloaded a program that allows you to leave video/audio comments on my blog. SO TRY IT ALREADY!      All you need is a webcam or microphone to get started. Check it out here.
