It's been a while...

Well, it's been over a YEAR since I have posted anything to this blog. I have honestly just not had the drive to post anything. A lot has changed in a year. As a band we have finished our album and released it - FINALLY!

It is funny that the last time I posted a blog it was snowing... this year has been a snow-filled one for sure! I am sick of it now and I'm ready to hit the beach!

As for the band, we are getting busier and busier! We have a ton of dates for this year already and are still booking. If you or someone you know is interested in booking us, please send an email to booking@aransomplea.com

I will do my best to post more frequently, sorry to my follower(s) who have been frustrated with me, I will try!

Snow in the south...

It's snowing in ATL and I have to admit that I LOVE snow. I wish at times that it would snow all winter...but then again I think too much of something makes you sick of it.

We are finished tracking the guitars, drums, and most of the bass tracks for the new album. We are still working through album titles, but I think we have settled on one. We will release that asap. Back to the ALABAMA vs. TEXAS game and SNOW!!

Into the studio we go

Well, on Wednesday our band A Ransom Plea is going into the studio to record our first full length album. We are excited to finally get these new tunes into everyone's hands and ears. The track listing is still to come so stay tuned. You can keep up with us at the links below:

I guess just an update...

I guess you could just call this an update. I have been just posting pics of our new house, but haven't really had anything spiritual/personal on here in a while. So....I though I could get a little personal on ya'll. (That's a southern word if you didn't know, so don't get your panties in a wad!)

The church I have been employed with for over a year is coming to a close. Velocity Church is shutting her doors. I have to be honest and say it's a bitter sweet moment. The rest of the staff and I feel this is the best move for our church, but what sucks is that it puts me out of a job.

The hardest thing for me to deal with personally is how I am going to provide for my beautiful wife. Thank God we have no debt (well except that FAT bill from the pictures you see below! HAHA!) Other than our mortgage, we will be debt free (thanks Dave!)

So what does the future hold? I have no clue to be completely honest. In the mean time, A Ransom Plea (ARP) will continue. We are playing at Christ's Church At Cobb 8/2 (am service), Trinity Church in Dville on 8/9 (am service), Douglasville FUMC 8/9 (pm service), CrossView Community Church in Rockmart 8/16 (am services), and The Discovery Church in Villa Rica 9/13 (am service). So come out and see us. We are also continuing in our recording this weekend.

It's been taking a while to record our album, but it's tough getting all the schedules just right. Keep us in prayer (my wife and I) and please keep the future church(s) of Paulding/Cobb/Carroll counties. God is going to move big and I hope that I can be part of that in some way!
