You might have noticed a message in this song about being human, which is exactly how I am feeling at the moment.
I have a little story to tell you.
As many of you probably are aware of, I did a Kickstarter campaign and raised the full amount for my CD project One moment we were celebrating the amazing generosity of so many people. I was really excited about reaching the goal.
Then moments later I read an email that I missed from a few weeks previous that changed everything. I ended up not qualifying for an Amazon Payments account because of my age. I’m only 17. What an embarrassing ordeal to say the least! (more…)
I am very excited to announce my daughter’s Kickstarter.com project “My Oh My”! It is an inspiring thing to see a teenager dream and then take steps to live out that dream. Over the past years many of you have seen my little girl Emilie grow up by watching this blog. This is an amazing and challenging next step for Emilie to take in her emerging career as a singer-songwriter and artist. Please take the time go here and help make a dream reality!
We all have the unexpected rainy days, right? Everything you planned or hoped for just goes sideways in a moment. It does not have to be anything tragic but simply just enough to get you off balance. It does not take much to push us to the brink, given the right set of circumstances. (more…)
RECAP: Today was an amazing experience as a parent and a pastor. I got to baptize my son today in the worship service. Ethan is 12 and shared his story of how he came to faith in Christ. Our baptistry is a like a military issue–a folding box loaded with water that has the officiant standing outside. Here is video.
SET LIST: We did four songs, rather than the usual five. Our team and I are still learning to get things oiled as this is only my third week in the saddle here as worship director. The song “Forever Reign” was repeated. I dig it! Here are the songs with the artists we based our arrangements on.
Glory to God Forever – Fee Band
Awesome Is The Lord Most High – Chris Tomlin
Forever Reign – One Sonic Society
You Gave Your Life Away – Paul Baloche
