I’m very pleased to announce that my latest album, entitled “Victorious,” will be released to the public next Friday, May 27th! The album will contain two cover songs, “Redeemed” and “Great Are You Lord,” along with four original songs written by me:
I’m very excited to tell you about a ministry I will be participating in this summer called “Starting Point: Building Your Band.” Our team at Pleasant Garden Baptist will be teaching rising 5th through 9th graders the basics of band instruments, vocals, and tech and give them the opportunity to actually perform in a band within a time frame of four days. For those that have followed the blog for a while, this is basically the camp that we’ve done in Jamaica the last two summers – we’ve brought it home to our American church. We’ve condensed it as far as number of days in order to cut costs, and it will be a challenge to see if we can get everything done that we want to accomplish. But I am very much looking forward to it!
This coming Wednesday, April 20th, I have the opportunity to lead worship outside of my own church at a local Baptist church that is having a revival service. For those that don’t know what a revival service is, it usually is a service that takes place over several consecutive days with the goal of reviving, or firing up, or re-energizing a congregation. Revivals also usually feature an evangelical focus – either a renewed commission for Christians to reach the lost, or a focus on bringing the lost to the revival service to be saved. Wednesday night is the opening night for this particular revival and I am so excited about starting things off for this church in worship.
The other night I was sitting around griping about something. You see, I’m an organized guy. I like for things to run efficiently and I get irritated when I feel like my time has been wasted or something I’m involved in but not in charge of could be run better in my opinion. So I started grumbling to my wife (who will patiently listen to me) about all of the things I would do differently if I was in charge of the situation. And just to be clear, I wasn’t grumbling ABOUT my wife – I wouldn’t live long if I tried that, and besides – I’ve got nothing to complain about there. 🙂
Hey – I know it’s January 8th, but Happy New Year! (True story: I actually gave out the last of my Christmas presents last night to the men in a men’s Bible Study group I attend – so if you think my New Year’s wishes are late, remember that it’s all relative for me.)
