Yes its time again for a new post, been a week or so. A few fun things have happened since I last posted, went on a date with my wife, got to go to a ballgame, said goodbye to some friends before they left for their new adventure, hung out with friends, played at church, hung out at the radio station and yes its true, had a week with only one meeting and nothing else on the agenda and yes that was a great week. I wish I could remember what all we played a few Sundays ago but I don't so I can't post that but I do know that I had alot of fun playing bass again although I'd still like to sell it and use the money to buy a different pedal board. Nathan H. is getting more and more relaxed each time he leads I've noticed, he's doing a great job.
Went out on a date with Tammy last Thursday to Applebee's, its always good to get a little time alone without the kids every once in awhile, need to do that more often. Even though all we did was go out to eat, to the bread store and a quick lap around the mall it was alot of fun being alone with her again. Came home and headed out to the McAllisters before they left for Illinois and got to spend a couple of hours with them just hanging out, I know we will be heading off to their new place sometime in the next few months. They are a cool couple who have been good friends and good influences on us, I only wish that we would have spent more time hanging out than we did.
Got to take a adventure I mean trip to Cincinnati with a few friends to see a ball game and that was a blast this past Saturday. It was an adventure getting there with Highway 27 closed and us finding our own detour which led us down "Round Barn Road" which I thought was a path heading to someones barn. We finally got out and to the game and had fun, especially since the Reds lost again, I've seen them 8 or 9 times and they've only won one of those games. The trip home was just as adventurous with missing our turn onto 1 from Interstate 74, finding another highway to take us back to 1 which was straight out of Tennessee with all the curves and all, then finding out that 1 was closed and finding our own detour again. Low and behold after alot of laughter we made it home around 1:30 am, need to do that more often as well.
Waiting for the next series to start at the FFC, gonna be good. Really enjoyed Pink's series and I've been telling myself daily "Delight in the Lord...." and singing worship songs while driving the old tow motor and the days have been flying by. I love it when God uses people to deliver messages that are needed and enjoy it when the people are obedient and follow His lead.

AWESOME GOD - United Live
One word - WOW. I haven't seen this for awhile and it still hits me. Of course you all know the song, all they do is the chorus. This is from the end of the "Look To You" DVD so that is why the credits are there.
I really dig around the 3:15 to 3:20 mark, sometimes you don't need the music, you'll see what I mean. That is one loud crowd and if you know me I dig it when the singers stop singing and all you here is the crowd singing, something that always gets me on Sundays at the FFC.

Open Your Earholes
I had a great time over at the radio station Friday night with Sir-Rocks Alot (PK) and the Head Bangin' Hawkeye (PK's cousin Mike) as we rocked it up and cut up a bit having alot of fun. The only thing that would have made it better is if we would have got that pizza from Pizza King we asked for, maybe next time. I wish that we could have had a web cam in there so that people could have seen all the funny stuff that happened while we were not on the air. We did have a record set, our buddy Nate-Dog from New Paris called in 18 times, yes 18 times. He really wanted to win the cd we were giving away, which he did, but it got funny everytime the phone rang we knew it was him. Made a little mistake but we corrected it as I mistakenly put the ' after the 84 instead of before it on a song title so it was not a 84' Sheepdog, which by the way would be a really big dog, but we fessed up and cleared the air. That was the last time for a while that I'll have all 3 hours as high school football is coming up at the end of the month so there is only 2 maybe 3 more full shows until November for a bit then high school basketball will be coming.
Church was good today, Pink brought it. I hope that the message sank in with alot of people and that God does a mighty work, like He does, and that lives will be changed. I'm anxious for next week now to see this message continued. Worship was good and I really think that Let God Arise is the most popular song we do, it really seems to get people going. Getting ready for a little youth tonight then back to the grind tomorrow. Work has been alright but I still don't think that this is the place I'm supposed to be at if that makes any sense. I think there is somewhere else I'm supposed to be but I just don't know where yet. And wasn't it awesome to hear that there were over 200 kids that were at the big Back To School Bash yesterday. That was totally cool, I only wish that there was enough items to go around for all of them, maybe next year.
Sunday Set List:
Let God Arise - Chris Tomlin (Best opener we do, really get to rock out on this one)
Whom Shall I Fear - Darrell Evans (Really like the "hook" in the chorus)
Open The Eyes Of My Heart - Paul Baloche (Been a while since we did this one, think the second time through was really good)
Grace Flows Down - David Bell (I dig this song)
I Surrender All - Judson VanDeVenter (Really like this one too, the congregation was loud on this one)
All Because Of Jesus - Fee (2nd time doing this song and its getting a little bit more comfortable)
