I will not "Ask For More" + other open mic tunes...

Here are the songs I did this month at Front and Center.   I hadn't been there since June, so it was pretty nice to be back.

In order...








This next one is the most recent song I wrote...reflecting on Ephesians, and understanding that not only do WE have to do nothing more to be in right standing with God, but also that Jesus has nothing more to do for us! He finished the work, and we rest in that! We are complete in Him, and seated in heavenly places. Praise God!


And here is a really cool thing that Dave made.

Getty Sing! 2018

Here are some of the pictures from our worship conference at the Music City Center in Nashville. The theme was about Psalms in congregational singing. It was a great experience, and there were many great Pastors, speakers, singers and musicians there.  I didn't post pictures of all of them...there were too many.




The Gettys
Stuart Townend (He and the Gettys wrote many famous songs such as In Christ Alone).  I had a song writing session with him.



Ryman Auditorium

Phil Keaggy 



Shane and Shane...I had a session with them too.  And got to sing along for their very personal concert to our room.

This is a place where Darwin Moody had Ryan sing last time we were there.  It was right by our hotel.

5 year anniversary of playing GUITAR!!

This is from this past Sunday
Yesterday was officially my 5 year anniversary of playing guitar.  I'm so thankful to Frontline Bible Church for the great opportunity of being able to play and sing in the praise band.  It's been a tremendous blessing.

This was from the Grace Christian University (Grace Bible College) Leadership Conference.
Also thankful for the other opportunities, like the time we lead worship for the Leadership Conference.  That was awesome!

Quasi-Linear Convective System?








So apparently we got hit with this weird storm with horizontal winds and rain.  We lost our blue spruce and a part of another tree.  But the worst part was what happened to our beautiful brand new pool.  It's just devastating.  If only we had the lawn and landscape done, this likely would not have been so damaging.   Makes me want to cry every time I see it.








Paul came out to help Darryl get the work done, because Darryl is too busy with his new job.  Unfortunately they cut the drain pipe and broke the sprinkler line and had to spend an entire day trying to fix things, which they never did...
Ryan helped, Kyle helped...but I've been no help at all because of the dumb surgery.  (Don't tell Darryl but I did do some sand shoveling yesterday to try to clean the drain). 

Today I see my Dr. to see if he gives me the green light to go back to normal activities.  It's been a long 6 weeks. 

God, please let us get the lawn and landscape put in so this will not happen again... this whole mess is really stressing me out.
